Let’s stop for awhile in wandering to white sand beaches and let us
give ourselves a chance to savor what highland has to offer this modern time. Highlands,
as expected, blow genuinely fresh and lung-friendly air.
Numerous well-developed
waterfalls, startling high ridges, foggy or Baguio-like environment, well-preserved
culture and traditions, plenty of agritourism related products, bone-chilling
springs, astounding landscapes and the like are the stuffs I used to expect
whenever I think of any mountainous area. However, reality has exceeded my
expectations as I take my finest leap in every nook and cranny of the place
dubbed as “Pineapple Capital of the World”, the BUKIDNON.
I was told that Bukidnon is
imbued with competitive inland resorts and absolutely natural wonders. A closer
look to the calm and undisturbed forest is somewhat a vitamin to our eyes and our
soul. Also, nature’s precious gifts such as springs are being utilized to
really give distinction of Bukidnon (knowing that it has plenty of cold
springs). One best example is the resort which was merited as the 1st
Runner-Up in Child-friendly Resort during 5th Mindanao Leaders and
Entrepreneur Awards 2016, the RR Family Spring Resort.
RR spring resort is situated is in
Tubigon, Maramag, Bukinon. The primary mode of transportation is the single
motor or locally known as “habal-habal”.
The entrance fee is only 50Php during daytime. Should you wish to have night
swimming, entrance fee is 700Php for the first 10 persons and 55Php/pax in excess hereof. You also have to pay for the environmental fee amounting to 5Php / pax.
Be chilled in RR and be amazed by
its sophisticated landscapes. The place is quite spacious and it has a space
for crying babies. I mean, every child will surely appreciate its vibrant
cartoon character sculptures. There are
many tempting swimming pools that you can choose from, pools that will totally
fit to your height requirements. Better try all pools so you can have something
to brag when you’ll go home :-) This
resort is something you’ll not feel reluctant to endorse.
The open stylish cottages are
well-maintained. Accommodation facilities are elegant. The restaurant and
function halls look so classy and modernized. The function halls are really perfect
for wedding reception. Where else can you find such recreational destination
with a cheaper entrance fee and better amenities? I’m running out of
superlatives to describe the place. And
because this resort is what everyone is eyeing for (especially during Holidays),
brace yourself for crowds all the way.
To cap off my travel escapade in
Bukidnon, we went to its famous peak, the Quezon Overview. There we see the
wider vista of the province. Indeed its breathtaking view is far beyond what I
could have ever imagined,
it seems like a mirage. What a cool discoveries! It’s PERFECT!
Add-ons to the captivating view
of Bukidnon include the Musuan Peak, it looks like Mayon Volcano. We’ve seen it while we're on
our way to Quezon Overview. I just couldn’t dismiss such admiration and even
begged my buddy to give me few minutes for picture taking.
