Whale Shark Watching in Oslob
Whale Shark Watching in Oslob, Cebu
One is the best thing activities you can do while relaxing would be to go on an early morning boat trip to the nearby town of Oslob, Cebu, and watch the baby whale sharks as they come so close you can almost touch them.
In the Philippines, Donsol in the Bicol region has been known to be the place to watch migratory whale sharks. Whale sharks in Donsol are called “Butanding”. In Oslob, whale sharks are called “Tuki”. The tuki feed off krill and plankton that are abundant in the area all year round, and therefore these baby whale sharks can be seen in Oslob all year round, too.

Sungka
Sungka is a fun and traditional Filipino game that I could play for hours! Sungka reminds me of my happy memories growing up. We would sit on the floor, just enjoying our quite time playing it. It reminds me of embracing the basic,of putting value to where we came from,of looking forward in the hope of reviving and conserving our rich culture and heritage to the next generation.
Kinakin
Kinakin house is compact and, though deceptively simple, its architecture is quite sophisticated. Built by clever mostisans without nails or hardware, it exemplifies the exactness of Ifugao construction. With the exemption of reed and cogon used in the roofs, the entire house uses heavy hand-hewn timber. Elevated to about shoulder height by four posts usually made of hard wood, the house, with periodic re-roofing, can last several generations.
Kinamot: Eating Bare Hands
It's not practice in every household, but some Filipinos enjoy eating with their bare hands. In Cebuano language, we called this "kinamot". I noticed that when you eat in bare hands, you'll eat a lot more than you eat using silverware, specially if you've got sticky rice and dried fish for viand. :)
