Bogo City:The North's Hidden Paradise

Located a hundred kilometers away from Cebu City is the north's hidden paradise "Bogo City". It is amazingly a tourist paradise . This is the place where  diverse spots can be seen---a perfect place that is away from all kinds of pollutions and other aspects that could hamper your  desired enjoyment and relaxation.

You don't have to travel far! The city of Bogo is only a two-hour drive up north from Cebu City making it a wonderful day or weekend trip. There is just enough to do there plus, it is stress-free, as well. Driving through the well-paved roads surrounded by hectares of sugar cane fields in this clean and green city, you will be stunned to find some unexpected gems! You can find in this city the refreshing paradise that you are looking for---a place that suits you when you seek for peace and harmony. Admittedly,this city has been awarded as the most Clean and Green City for many years. This place is   the realm for superfluous panoramas! To name a few of it's panoramas ,they are the:
 Capitancillo Islet
It is  made famous for its lighthouse, marine and aquatic life. Huts have been built on this island, making it a great place for a picnic. It's relatively easy to     get there; you may hire a boat without any prior reservations but ensure to agree on a cost with the boat driver beforehand. You may choose to swim, as well if you're up for the challenge!

Shrine of Miraculous Medal
Shrine of the Lady of Miraculous Medal 
Climb up the more than hundred steps to work your way up to the top if you opt for another sight to see, The Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. But if you choose to take another road, (which takes you directly to Sogod), from Bogo, turn left towards Dakit and you will drive through another Bogo barangay called Guadalupe. Here, you can  found a house built on the 10th of April 1937, probably the only one that hasn't been torn down since World War I.
Tugbungan Mangrove Farm
Tugbungan Mangrove Eco-Park and Forest, a vast mangrove eco-reserve. Walking through the beautifully built wooden walkway surrounded by endless mangroves made such a wonderful outdoor experience. Be sure to wear the right footwear, though. This place is relatively tucked in, so ask around for directions and expect some bumpy roads getting there!


Nailon Beach Resort
   This is the most anticipated beach resort in our locality,well-known for its white sand and harmonic place. Admittedly, this beach resort is always the resting place by most of  our well-known actors and actresses in times when they are going to visit our city specially during City Fiesta. This place also serve as the catering place for special occasions like birthdays,weddings,etc. So never hesitate to visit this resort!


Those are only some of the hidden bounties of the city of Bogo!!! If you can really visit this place,you can discover and explore more of its panoramas that trigger this place to be called as the "North's Hidden Paradise." Revel the endowment of this newly-discovered city!

SUCCESS

I really dream of success.
It is my heart's destination,
My heart,s desire and my goal,
For my life's inspiration.

My family is my inspiration,
To strive hard and have determination.
I dedicate all my hardworks to them
Just to make them taste the success I aim.

Though sometimes I tend to falter
From  all the woes I encounter
But when I think about success,
I wipe away those weariness.

A failure is not an encumbrance.
It's not a sign for me to surrender.
I rise up higher with forbearance
And I think ,there's success after failure.

Like the grass shining with unshed dew,
And making the day so fresh and new,
I hope the abyss of my long quest
Is reaching my heart's desire
"SUCCESS."

Best Utterance

Gratefulness is the best utterance we can express. We should be grateful even in simple things. We have so much to be thankful with. Each of us is given an enormous blessing in each passing day.We are  given different abilities that make each one of us unique. We have our family,friends,and love ones whom we can share our triumphs and failures,joys and heartaches,struggles and success. We are provided almost all the basic things that we need. Though sometimes we tend to falter from all the predicaments that we encounter,yet there are still  many things that will serve as our stepping stones in arising from those predicaments.
 Saying "Thank you" even for a simple thing already means so much.
