When in Laswitan

 Now, you see....

Now, you don't...

“Travel isn’t always pretty. 

It isn’t always comfortable. 

Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. 

But that’s okay. 

The journey changes you; it should change you.

 It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body.

 You take something with you. 

Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

 – Anthony Bourdain

Sto. Nino Church, Cebu

Everytime I visit Cebu, I'll make sure I can visit the Sto. Nino Church. 

It's my way of saying 'thank you" to the Omnipotent for guiding me (us) always on our journey (back and forth) Cebu-Surigao.
