The Philippines: MOALBOAL, Cebu Summer Fun

Cebu is an island in the Central Visayas.  It is dubbed as the "Queen City of the South", being in the southern part of the archipelago.  But why queen? Read for yourself...

 

Thirty (30) kilometers or half-hour from Barili is the town of Moalboal, boasting of fresh produce from the sea, white beach and a diving paradise of Cebu

For our lunch, we bought fresh produce, both seafoods and meat at the local market and had all of these grilled in the market.  For our shrimps, we were very lucky to have a store owner, from whom we bought our drinks and spices from, who allowed us to cook in their kitchen.  Then we bought hanging rice (puso) to complete our meal.

We had lunch at Panagsama Beach, a long stretch of white sand beach where one has many options where to go, from day-use cottages to overnight beach resorts.



If you are a diving enthusiast, read this blog that a friend wrote about her encounters with sardines and thresher sharks in Moalboal.  And this for more about Moalboal.  Even a former president of the Philippines took time off her busy schedule to dive here!
