We were about 30 family members and it was hard to organize something for 30 people as everyone had a different agenda on their minds. We did our best to make it as fun and as harmonious as possible. Some of us just flew in from abroad, and was thriving on a foreign clock, and a couple of days later, we were whisked off to the islands. So we made sure we can catch up with our R & R (rest and recreation) in the islands. That means, taking our own hair stylist who was a transvestite(girl-boy) and her assistant and a blind masseur. It's too bad, we were not able to take our manicurist and cosmetologist. :) What better way to relax by the beach?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img src="http://www.mingsworld.com/images/dancebar.gif" /><br/> www.mingsworld.com camotes island cebu philippines <img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29795882-115692289625686683?l=camotesisland.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mingsworld.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05841495757344011094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29795882.post-1152860237137019292006-07-13T23:43:00.000-07:002006-08-30T00:18:43.310-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/1600/pacijan1t.jpg"><img style="align:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/320/pacijan1t.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><strong>Municipality of San Francisco</strong><br />Class:4th<br />Annual Income: (As of 1993) P8,345,150,42<br />No. of Barangays: 15<br />Total Land Area: 11,564 Has.<br />Distance from Cebu: 38 nautical miles northeast of Cebu island<br /><ul>Land Classification as of 1994:<br /><li>Arable Area: 7.946.5276 Has. </li><br /><li>Residential: 1.074.3491 Has. </li><br /><li>Commercial: 0.6979 Has. </li><br /><li>Industrial: 0.4405 Has.</li><br /></ul><br />Population: 39.115<br />(latest NCSA Survey-1995)<br />Labor Force: 19.915<br /><ul>Major tourism activities:<br /><li>Soli-soli Festival (March), </li><br /><li>Via Crucis (Lenten Season),</li><br /><li>Sunday market visit (weekly),</li><br /><li>beach activities (whole year round)</li><br /></ul><br />(source: DTI Website)<br /><br />Getting there from Cebu:<br />By motorized banca<br />Danao City to Consuelo, San francisco<br />6:00 am and 11:00 am daily<br />Mandaue City to Poro<br />1:00 pm daily<br /><br />By Ferry boat<br />Cebu City to Poro<br />12:00 noon and 9:00 pm daily (Pier 2)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img src="http://www.mingsworld.com/images/dancebar.gif" /><br/> www.mingsworld.com camotes island cebu philippines <img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29795882-115286023713701929?l=camotesisland.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mingsworld.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05841495757344011094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29795882.post-1150788433818235392006-06-20T00:19:00.000-07:002006-06-20T00:54:36.186-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/1600/rock_resort.0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/320/rock_resort.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Mangodlong Rock Resort<br />Heminsulan, San Francisco<br />Camotes, Cebu<br />www.camotesresorts.com.ph<br /><br />De Luxe Rooms<br />3 pax Php 1,700<br />Additional person<br />Php 150<br /><br /><ul>Aquasports facilities<br/><br /><li>snorkeling</li><br /><li>Boating</li><br /><li>Kayaking</li><br /><li>Windsurfing</li><br /><li>Volleyball</li><br /></ul><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/1600/volleyball.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/320/volleyball.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img src="http://www.mingsworld.com/images/dancebar.gif" /><br/> www.mingsworld.com camotes island cebu philippines <img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29795882-115078843381823539?l=camotesisland.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mingsworld.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05841495757344011094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29795882.post-1150440164699099592006-06-15T23:39:00.000-07:002006-06-15T23:42:44.706-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/1600/sunset.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4634/1599/320/sunset.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />There's nowhere in the world I'd rather be right now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img src="http://www.mingsworld.com/images/dancebar.gif" /><br/> www.mingsworld.com camotes island cebu philippines <img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29795882-115044016469909959?l=camotesisland.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mingsworld.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05841495757344011094noreply@blogger.com2
