ShoeString Diaries: Iloilo

Warning: I will be tooting my horns in this post. If you can’t bear it, don’t read.

If I called you, emailed you or sent text messages about this, again, please endure. I have been waiting for this story to be published for months. Agony? Sort of..nah, I’m patient.

And with the waiting I’m still on cloud nine knowing that this is not my first publication. I have contributed articles for Mabuhay Magazine for their February – April 2011 issues. I said, I will be tooting my own horns..

For this month, my article is on SMILE Magazine, the in-flight magazine for Cebu Pacific Airlines. This is my first feature article but I was one of their “local travel guides” for their November 2010 issue.

Here is the cover

This is their anniversary issue. Ok, I love the spotlight now. Haha

Here is my piece..Its about traveling in Iloilo for 72 hours with a budget of 3,000 pesos for their “Shoestring Diaries” section. And I am their shoestring traveler for this month (I hope your ear drums are still intact from my blabbering). haha!

Blithe feeling surrounds me now. A piece about two things I love – history and Iloilo. I’m not originally from Iloilo but there is something about this place that mystified me. And now this is my home. I am proud to share one of the things that makes Iloilo, my palangga.

Come and visit the city of love, where I have found love and will continue to love..
