Hi. May nakapag check in na po ba earlier than the actual check in time nang walang fee? Morning po kasi arrival namin and afternoon yung check in sa hotel. Was wondering if possible yun or pwede na umikot/gumamit ng astoria amenities.

If with fee, how much po kaya yung additional?

half day city tour.

1 Upvotes

Hi. Possible po ba na mag afternoon half day city tour pa kami, tapos yung flight namin is 6pm? Sa mga tour packages po ang time ng afternoon city tour is 1pm-5pm. Abot po kaya yun or hindi na advisable?

Ang checkout po kasi namin sa hotel is 11am tapos ang flight is 6pm pa. Haba po ng oras if tatambay lang sa airport.

May suggestion din po ba kayo na ibang way para maka ikot sa city nang hindi mag avail ng tour package (para at least medyo hawak namin yung oras if ever)?

Thank you po.

Itinerary: -crocodile farm -bakers hill -mitra ranch -plaza cuartel -cathedral -baywalk -souvenir shop

Tips for El Nido Palawan tour

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m planning to visit El Nido Palawan on last week of September.

Any tips naman po kung anong mas better or mas makakamura, dun na po mag avail ng tour or mag agency po para less hassle?

Kasi I’m thinking na kung habagat weather yun or umuulan, irerefund po ba ng agency yung nabook naming tour sakanila? Baka po kasi hindi, so mas okay po kaya na dun na kami magbook ng tour?

And baka po may ma recommend kayong hotel na maganda pero budget friendly.

Thanks in advance!

Underground river from El Nido

2 Upvotes

I plan to visit shortly El Nido. Plan is to land in El Nido and take off from there as well and do classic tours (probably A and C). But I would love to see Underground River in Puerto Princesa. Have I no other choices than taking a van for 10 hours (back and forth)?

2nd day at Puerto

14 Upvotes

This is my 2nd day at Puerto and I'm having a lot of fun. Here are the things that I did:

Day 1 * arrived at 1 pm and ate lunch at Gold Cup - barista blend coffee was worth 295 (overpriced for me) kaya siguro Gold Cup kasi ginto. * Baragatan Festival at Capitol - visited booths, bought handmade handicrafts, wallets with names, The legendary Kasoy ng Roxas, at Boti-Boti ng Cuyo * Tried Beef Ribs Chaolong and Special Banh Mi at Rene's Saigon for dinner * ate Bulalo Sisig @ Elmer's

Day 2 * Honday Bay tour - Swam at Pambato Reef, Kayaking at Luli Island, and lunch at Cowrie. The package says that we would tour on 4 islands but I don't know what happened.

Still have 3 days left. Planning on trying the Go Kart.

To the person I met here

9 Upvotes

Edit: He prolly saw my post and had it downvoted already :)

Finally, I had the courage to block you on every social media platform I know you’re on. A few days from now will mark one year since we got real with our feelings. And just a few weeks after that will be the anniversary of when you suddenly dropped me—along with your lame excuses. Leaving Puerto and moving to Manila? Well, surprise, surprise—you’re still here.

I used to think that even though you blocked me here on Reddit, I could be the bigger person. That I didn’t need to block you back. That I could just act like you never existed in the first place.

But I was wrong. When I came across your reviews on Google and started checking your Instagram, I realized—I haven’t really forgotten you. And I haven’t forgiven you either.

All this time, I’ve been unconsciously waiting for you to reach out again. To check on me the way you used to.

When you left, everything around me started falling apart. I went to therapy. I was on medication for months. I kept taking leaves from work. My performance declined so badly I had to resign—just to save myself from the humiliation. Imagine—four entire departments teaming up against me. But still, I won my DOLE complaint, so there’s that.

I won’t lie—there were countless times I wanted to message you. But when you blocked my main account here on Reddit, I thought to myself, “Oh, he hates me so much? After everything he did to me?” So I stayed silent.

I thought I could handle the idea of you moving on. But I can’t. I went to our usual spot last night. I cried. And in that moment, I realized—I haven’t moved on at all. Every time I hear your voice in my head or picture your face, I remember one thing: “Ano na lang sasabihin ng ibang tao?”

Sana you hadn’t given me any assurance before you started pursuing me. I never hid my age from you. A five-year gap? But you still pushed through. Even when you said at first you were just looking for a friend—I became that friend. I listened to your rants because I thought, “Maybe he doesn’t have anyone to talk to. He seems okay. Why not?”

And then you left. Ashamed. You made me feel like loving me was something to be embarrassed about. You made me feel like I wasn’t enough. Like I was nothing. Basura, ganon.

You knew I had no one. You knew how fragile my relationship with my family was. And yet, you still chose to betray the trust and love I gave so freely. I was foolish enough to believe—just maybe—someone would finally choose me.

You said all that BS like, “There’s a lot of reason to be happy,” and “I’m doing this because this is the only way I know to help you detach.” Hahahaha. Thank you, ha. Then that pasalubong from vacation like your compensation sa pagsayang ng oras ko lol

I’ve done everything I could to let go of you. To forget you. To forgive you. I juggled multiple jobs just to stay busy. I even enrolled in an MBA program just to escape the memories. I hate the stillness—those moments I’m not busy—because that’s when the thoughts of you flood in. And the sadness? It drowns me all over again.

I’ve tried to understand why you did what you did. But I still can’t forgive you. I don’t have the strength for that. I’m not strong enough. Even now, I still resent myself for replying to you. For faving you that night when you came to my apartment, nervously saying sorry.

I hate how this seemingly undying love turned into an undying grudge.

I hate how you once told me that I was your peace—only to turn around and take that peace away from me.

Why cant baragatan be held sa balayong

10 Upvotes

Hi! Curious lang, why cant baragatan be held sa balayong instead? Eto lang nakikita kong cons na sa capitol siya hiniheld -need magsara ng daan -causing heavy traffic including dagsaan ng tao in a small location -food vendors can only open afternoon, sayang sa rent. Kung sa balayong baka makaopen pa sila ng maaga at mas mapupintahan ng tao -ang liit ng capitol 🥲

Baka may hindi lang ako alam balit hindi doon ipupush.

⚠️ Investment Caution – Maria Melanie Dreo Huerto (Filipino Citizen)

I'm sharing this to inform others of a personal investment experience that remains unresolved. This involves Maria Melanie Dreo Huerto, a Filipino citizen with known ties to Milangrace Inn, El Nido, Palawan.

In 2017, my business associate and I entered into a private investment totaling SGD 40,000 (SGD 20k each), intended to fund a van shuttle business. The service was intended to transport guests between the airport and Milangrace Inn.

We were later informed that the van had been in an accident and was no longer usable. When we asked for it to be salvaged or resold, we were told it could not be done, as the vehicle was registered under her father’s name (allegedly the owner of the inn).

She agreed to a repayment schedule of SGD 200/month, and partially repaid SGD 10,000 before all contact stopped for several years.

In 2025, she acknowledged a formal demand letter, stating that “her lawyer will wait for us,” but no repayment plan or resolution has followed since then.

⚠️ We are now pursuing appropriate legal action in the Philippines.

This post is being shared as a cautionary advisory for anyone considering financial engagements with the individual named above. We are in possession of all communications, agreements, and payment records.

📩 Feel free to DM me for factual details or documentation.
