Hello April!
After a stressful week brought by Reyshimar Arguelles when he violated my intellectual property rights when he and the rest of the staff of CPU’s The Central Echo newspaper plagiarized ( read the story here), this is one planned trip that I truly deserve.. Can you guess where I am?
Not Just One: The Central Echo Plagiarism

Jaro Belfry: Imposing Structure in the City

Samal Island’s Hagimit Falls
When we speak of “island” we often envision beach and sand. Samal Island is gifted with unspoiled beaches for you to hang out all day with the lone company of a cold bottle of beer. It may not be as big as the other islands but nestled in its interior […]
