Dasol Hideaway: Things to Know Before You Go

Pangasinan never fails in terms of its different tourist spots, the off-the-beaten paths, particularly its beaches. If you are planning on a weekend beach getaway, Pangasinan must be an alternative if not main in your list. And believe it or not, most of its beautiful beaches are all found in the western side of the province. You might have already heard about Bolinao (or you might have visited it several times already) and its golden beach of Patar. Yes, that beach in Bolinao is really awesome. But have you already heard of Culebra Island (or Collibra Island as other people say it) in Dasol and saw its white sand beach? If not, you might as well consider this in your next trip. It is a GOOD competitor to what Patar Beach in Bolinao can offer.

How to Go to Baguio Tourist Attractions: Session Road to Mines View Park

How to go to Baguio Cathedral from Bus Terminal:

If you happened to ride on a Genesis Bus/Dagupan Bus/Saulog Bus and dropped off along Gov. Pack Road, all you have to do is to walk your way to Session Road (marker is the Police Station), cross the street until you see the Cathedral. Baguio Cathedral is near upper Session Road and Post Office Loop. If you rode on a Victory Liner Bus (air-con) and dropped off at Victory Liner terminal in Engineer’s Hill, it is better to ride a taxi to the church. Or you can walk your way from Utility Road to Session Road, walk straight until you reach the Circle (roundabout in Session Road), walk a bit until you reach the Cathedral.

The Mansion House, or simply The Mansion, is a popular tourist destination in Baguio because of its historical roots in the past.

It was devastated in 1945 and was rehabilitated two years after. Now, Baguio’s The Mansion is a rest house of the President of the Philippines.
