After more than a month of lockdown in the city, a much-needed retreat was needed to get away from work and the recurring pandemic anxiety. I have previously visited the road to Balamban during my first week in Cebu, around end of June, during our road trip aka food-hopping then and was greeted with same green scenery going to Treehouse de Valentine which was very soothing for both the eyes and soul. You can opt to have brunch or lunch on the way because there are loads of restaurants with amazing view which is what we did exactly.

Cebu | Huna Huna Cliff Resort, Catmon
Welcoming us in the humble municipality of Catmon, just right at the border after Carmen, is this long-standing beach resort which existed some twenty years ago. The name Huna Huna Cliff Resort is derived from the Cebuano term, “huna huna”, which means thoughts, thinking, or to think. And indeed, the place exudes where one can ponder their thoughts and simply relax with how it is situated with the beautiful scenery of cliff hanging Spanish-Mediterranean architecture overlooking the Camotes Sea.

Cebu | Dive at Kuya Jom’s Crib, Catmon
Where do I begin? I have always loved the ocean and to be as close as it as much as possible. Because for me it is simply healing to look and hear the waves crashing. And although I know how to swim in safe spaces, I was never confident swimming in open waters. But I have always adored free divers and scuba divers alike and dreamed of one day experiencing either.

Where to Eat along Cebu Transcentral Highway (TCH)
It has been exactly a year and four months ago since the Philippines declared the first General Community Quarantine, also known as lockdown depending on the level of restrictions in an area. I packed my bags with only the essentials I needed from Metro Manila and went in a heartbeat to my home province – Negros Oriental. I have seen friends who have travelled locally every now and then between that period. And although, I am tempted to do the same, I didn’t do so and just went around to see more of my home province instead.

Big Hotel Cebu
Back to the place that we Visayan’s call ‘Dakbayan sa Sugbu’ which simply means the Cebu City is simply like a home closer to ‘home’ for me. After all, it is just one bus ride from Dumaguete, my home town, and where most of my friends are exploring careers and such after graduation.
