Is this real life? or is this just a fantasy?

                 Amazing. If my eyes could just speak, then these would be the right words that it would say as I'm standing at the gate of Gloria's Fantasy Land (GFL) at Dapitan City. I was on a family vacation last December 30, 2013 and it was one of my unforgettable experience. I have never set a foot on such a wonderful theme park ever since my entire life, and I was so amazed that I am still in the Philippines. The way the park was made was world class, it's a must go location if you ever want to travel and have fun at Mindanao.

My brother on the Mechanical Rodeo.

                 A mechanical rodeo. Yes, you heard it right! Even though its mechanical but i can still give you a challenge. Try to ride it for a minute without falling! In my attempt it was only 32 seconds, how long will you last?

Fireworks every night.

                 A spectacular fireworks display lights up the night sky every evening at the theme park. This is one of the main reasons why it is best to visit the place at a late evening. 

The Swinger.

Bump cars.

                 Because I enjoyed the place so much, I only have a few photos of the rides. But there are a lot of rides at GFL, and each ride is worth trying. For more information about the rides you can check out this site: http://www.gloriasfantasyland.com/park-features/rides/

Horror house entrance.

                 GFL also has a horror house which they regard to as the Best horror house in asia. Unfortunately, i wasn't able to get in because the promo i availed didn't include the horror house. 

                 Gloria's Fantasy Land in Dapitan is a perfect place to spend with your family specially when you are with kids because of the unlimited fun that it would give to you and also the festive feeling of the place.

Of Bananas and Peace

               There are many reasons to visit the brilliant province of Lanao del Norte. One of those reasons is Tubod. Tubod capture serenity, sports and culture in one place and gives you to a different sort of experience. Its lovely and panoramic sceneries could easily be your stress reliever. Visit their Municipal hall and set foot in their very own Rizal Park, which will remind you of nature and serenity

        

                These photographs were taken by Angel Villarojo after the Rizal Day commemoration. The small hut shows their great love for bananas even after their festival was long done. This has become one of their trademarks as time passes by.

              Sports are clearly part of their culture, as one would experience firsthand the sports they pride themselves with. Tennis is just one of those sports events that they promote with young and promising players with the tutelage of their parents. This love for sports also extends to racing motorbikes. Motorbike racing has grown popular in this area after a motorbike race track was developed in Tubod. Foreigners and Filipinos alike visit Tubod to experience the thrill and adrenaline rush that motorbike racing brings to them. Tourists would then witness the hospitality and cheerfulness of the citizens as they experience the fun and adventure.

              Tubod is also home to the Mindanao Cultural Center that houses sports facility and a massive area that would fit hundreds and thousands of people. This center provides easy access to race track fields, huge swimming pools and an abundance of rooms for players during sports competitions or events.

                Experience a beauty and calmness in one fell sweep as you set foot at Tubod, Lanao del Norte!
