Bomb jokes not allowed in Phil airports

Just a travel advisory to tourists who are visiting the Philippines for the first time. The Philippines has implemented a law starting in 2006 to penalize bomb jokes. The latest violator was a 24 yr old Israeli caught joking that his shoes contained a bomb during final security check in Mactan Cebu International Airport.

Developing Resort to Watch

While doing some environmental scanning in the Island Province of Biliran, popularly known in the region as an Island Paradise, we came across a small beach resort still being developed. It is located in Brgy Bunga in the town of Cabucgayan some 32 kilometers from the provincial capital of Naval.

The local people called the place Ardian Beach Resort, perhaps in honor of someone who earlier developed the shore area as a beautiful place for picnic. Today it is being maintained and further enhanced by the incumbent Vice Mayor, Hon. Gemma G. Adobo and her family.

Like most of the resorts in the island, the sand is fine, the water is clean and the ambiance is so relaxing. The panoramic view of the nearby shoreline and landscape of both the Island Paradise and the island of Leyte is a natural beauty. The small resort has a bar which you can have a drink of beer, local wines, and other spirits. It has a swimming pool for spring water under development.

Generally, the place is a nice hideaway from the busy urban life.
