Paradise in Mindanao by Patrick Fale

Mindanao is known to be a place of violence. The media has shown that most rebels are from there. Yes it is true, there's war in Mindanao and most rebels are there but Mindanao is a big place. There are places in Mindanao that are dangerous but there are also places that are for us to appreciate.

Lake Sebu in Surallah South Cotabato is definitely a peaceful place! Approximately 2 hour flight from Manila to General Santos and 1 and a half hour by land from there to 

Surallah, South Cotabato.

Lake Sebu is known for its product, tilapia. There are a lot of restaurants there that has tilapia dishes that vary.

Aside from their product, you should also try their zip line that is one of the highest in the Philippines and in South East Asia.

Riding the zip line will give you a glimpse of the 7 falls in the area. After the zip line, you will get to appreciate the rock formation and the water falls in a closer perspective.

Mindanao truly has its own beauty despite some situation in some places. I would go back to this place if were given a chance. I had a great time and learned to appreciate what nature has to offer.

Prom night was fun and yet tiring so we needed a place to have fun and relax. I and my friends decided to stay in Nobu City of Dreams Manila. It was truly the City of Dreams! After a long night, we arrived at the relaxing scent of the lobby to the spacious room. The room was well lighted by warm comfy lights and was overlooking the pool and Eco Park of the hotel. The bed was very comfortable and the living area was big enough to eat, rest, or work. The comfort room was fine but there was no bath tub.

The room was impressive but that is not all that Nobu hotel has to offer. Release the stress from a busy day at Nobu spa. Skilled therapists and natural stress relieving products is offered by Nobu hotel. Never skip leg day, chest day, or cardio because Nobu Fitness is up for you to use! It has complete equipments that will truly give you a good workout session and bring you to wellness. A hotel will never be complete without a swimming pool and of course Nobu has it for you. It is not a typical swimming pool though. It is an Eco Park that you can roam around and appreciate the tropical themed environment. It is truly a relaxing environment and a great place to release all stress and tension.

Nobu offers good environment and comfortable room but it will never be complete without food. A night in Nobu comes with a breakfast for two and the food is great! Premium dining at Nobu restaurant offers Japanese cuisines that are pleasing to the eyes and tongue.

            My friends and I did really have a great stay in Nobu hotel. We had enough rest and enjoyed each other’s company at a very good environment. It was indeed a great time and I would suggest that if you want to get away or take a break from the busy life in the metro, you should come and visit Nobu Hotel City of Dreams at  Asean Avenue corner Roxas Boulevard, Entertainment City, Parañaque 1701, Manila, Philippines.
