*Super late na kase kami na nag adjust mahirap maiwan sa flight pero nakadating kami don 7pm pwede pa sana sa 8:50pm flight kaya lang may bayad na chance passenger 😞
Tips:
Wag iwanan ang mga importanteng gamit sa kahit sino like tour guide, nagtitinda na kung ano ano or driver lalo na sa Boracay.
Uso po ang tumawad dahil kung hinde tatagain ka sa presyo.
Mababait mga Bisaya at mga Locals doon wag mahiyang magtanong, maasikaso din sila at madaming gwapo, Chos! 😀
Disiplina sa oras para mapuntahan lahat ng gustong puntahn magandang mas maaga kesa late.
Try their local foods, masarap!
Madami din magagandanag Simabahn sa ILOILO if may time pa kayo along the hiway lang
Bring bonamine sa mga hinde sanay mag biyahe sa dagat lalo na sa Iloilo-Bacolod port, maalon.
You can ask me if you have questions po. Thank you 🙂

Thank you for reading my blog, Hope it helps. :)
Love you all!
