Bond in the comforts of the great outdoors with Bluewater Sumilon’s 3-Day Summer Camp

Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort is known for its beautiful white sand and azure waters. But what’s even more interesting is that the resort plays a huge role in preserving nature. With eco-initiatives, Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort aims to restore nature’s truest glory.

To further elevate that, they have come up with a fun-filled project that teaches kids and parents to become eco-warriors— the Bluewater Sumilon Summer Camp. 

Sugbo.ph was given an incredible chance to try out the 3-day summer camp ourselves, and here’s what we think.

Bringing the “Glam” in Glamping

The 3-day summer camp at Sumilon Island is not your usual outdoor camping because they offer “glamping.”

The Campers or Glampers get to stay in a boho-inspired glamping tent complete with mattresses, pillows, and a refrigerator. There is even a cooling system to further ensure a relaxing stay. But the best part is absolutely waking up to a beautiful beachfront view. The glamping tents are situated near the beach so campers can enjoy the faultless view of the sea.

The tent was spacious, and the mattresses were incredibly soft and great for sleeping. There was even complimentary caramel popcorn and Yema waiting for us.

A 3-Day Itinerary Filled with Nature-ific Activities

Don’t have an itinerary? Worry not because the 3-day summer camp has a complete 3-day itinerary for you and your kids. The itinerary includes various activities that kids and kids at heart will surely love. 

Kite Making, Snorkeling, Trekking, Kayaking, Coral Planting, and Fish Feeding, among others, were the activities team Sugbo.ph was able to try. One of the team’s favorite activities has got to be the Coral planting because we got to see the Bluewater Sumilon team in action as they restore marine life, one coral at a time. 

And the team’s second favorite activity was trekking. But, of course, it was no ordinary trek because we made our way to the Baluarte Lighthouse, which held so much history and secrets of the past.

We even witnessed the feeding of Blacktip reef sharks and went birdwatching. You can check out the full itinerary below:

And, of course, the summer camp is not complete without the camp master. Bluewater Summer Camp Master is Joselito “Boboi Costas,” an ecotourism and sustainable Tourism Expert. Sir Boboi was able to teach everyone the importance of being environmental stewards. 

One activity conducted by Sir Boboi that struck us the most was arranging waste materials from the first to the last to decompose. We saw how long plastics and other waste materials stay on Earth before fully decomposing. 

It was also fantastic to see kids playing such a significant role in helping out mother nature. 

Final Verdict

Five words, “We want to go back!”

The Bluewater Sumilon Summer Camp was indeed such an incredible experience. We weren’t there just to relax and swim but also to learn more about the beauty of nature and the importance of why we need to preserve it. The 3-day summer camp taught us lessons we never knew we needed. 

I guess it’s safe to say that three days were indeed too short. Time does fly when you are having fun, and at Bluewater Sumilon, we had tons of fun. The camp is also an excellent way for parents to bond with their kids and elevate their kids’ potential as eco-warriors.

What are you waiting for? Grab your camping bag and sunscreen, and book your slot today! There are two batches available. Batch 1 is on June 10 – 12, 2023 (9-11 years old), and Batch 2 is on July 25 – 27, 2023 (12-14 years old).

Get your dose of nostalgia with these 5 places in Cebu

We’ve been going back in time lately, haven’t we?

In a recent article, we covered some of our favorite candies as kids growing up in Cebu. It was a delightful and sweet trip down memory lane – but now, as we shift our focus towards the city where we enjoyed these treats itself, a different kind of longing emerges. 

In an ever-changing city that transforms each passing year, there are places that have vanished with only the remnants of a vibrant past being left by the tide of progress. 

Let us embark on a new journey of remembrance and rediscover some places we miss very much in Cebu, from the familiar haunts we used to frequent as kids to the iconic landmarks that shaped the city’s identity.

1. The New White Gold House

Along the route to SM City Cebu, there stands a captivating establishment that we always used to stare at whenever we passed by it.

Known as the New White Gold House, this Oriental fine dining restaurant has stood as a nostalgic site, catching the eyes of passersby and letting their imagination run. 

Step inside, and you would be transported back to the 70s, a trip to Imperial China. 

The building reflects Chinese interior design, with the culinary offerings being equally enchanting, with delectable dishes that tantalize the taste buds and transport guests to an authentic Chinese dining experience.

Over the years, the New White Gold House has been the backdrop for numerous wedding receptions, ceremonies, and joyous celebrations, solidifying its place in Cebu’s cultural landscape. 

It stands as a living testament to the enduring beauty and profound influence of Chinese culture in the heart of Cebu. 

2. Royal Concourse

Next on our list we have another eatery that was also a witness to several accounts of cherished memories.

Royal Concourse holds a special place in the hearts of Cebuanos. 

It stood as a family-friendly and go-to buffet due to its cheap price and good food. Back then, people would always make a mental note to get there early to catch their sumptuous crispy pata and pochero. It was the perfect venue for numerous events and has left an indelible mark on the community. 

As locals reminisce over old photos and share their heartfelt stories, the spirit of Royal Concourse lives on. 

Though its doors may be closed, the memories and experiences it provided will continue to be treasured, reminding us of a time when gathering around a table brought joy and togetherness to families in Cebu.

3. Luzon Lumber

Where One Central Hotel now stands, once stood the perfect place to buy pre-cut plywood for construction needs.

Luzon Lumber stands out for its rustic architecture that sticks out next to the modern establishment that is Elizabeth Mall.

As kids, we would always think that this place was a haunted house – but this did not stop us from checking out the comics and newspapers that were placed on stands near its entrance.

Turns out it was just a place to purchase woodworking materials. Simple, but cherished by many.

4. EMSU Hotel

There is a lone McDonald’s in Arlington Pond St. along Fuente Osmeña, that is below this creepy building filled with holes.

Standing idly on top of the lone tenant is what was supposed to be EMSU Hotel. It has a unique design that catches the attention of the people who make their way to the circle.

The building has been around for decades – why the construction stopped? Some say it’s a family feud, some say it’s an intra-corporate feud. But no one knows for sure.

I guess this building can only serve as a reminder of what could’ve been.

5. Sunburst – Legaspi Branch

After attending a mass in the Basilica, just around the church is a Sunburst branch that is tucked away in a little corner that many of us thought was always the perfect place to grab a bite.

Photo from Anton Sheker

Sunburst is beloved by Cebuanos for its savory chicken, so this is no surprise. 

With a scent so strong when you passed by, you just had to enter and give in to the enticing aroma and give up a few hundred pesos because you could already taste the food. 

First opened in 1976, the branch recently closed its doors after almost 50 years of service back in 2020. 

Oh how I miss eating lunch with my grandparents here. So many people must have had good memories here for sure.

Well, at least we can keep the memories alive in our heart no matter how much this city changes. 

We will find solace in nostalgia and look at the bright side – we will hold onto these memories, the bittersweet reminders of what once was, as we continue to embrace the fast-paced Cebu and create new moments that will be cherished by generations to come.

Sumilon Sand Bar in Oslob: Definitive Guide for a Day Tour

Sumilon Island is popular as a small sandbar island perfect for that exclusive beach escapade, very far away from the bustling and stress brought by the city life. With pristine white sand and crystal-clear blue water, the island has been a favorite spot for tourists both local and international.

With just a short boat ride away from the city of Oslob, getting to the island is indeed an exciting adventure. It is advised to research first about available local boat transfers in the area of Oslob or opt for the day-pass of Bluewater Resort which already includes the boat transfer services.

SNORKELING AND DIVING

Being an exclusive island, one of the coolest things you can do once you’re in Sumilon is to visit the marine life underwater. Either you bring your own snorkeling and diving gear or rent in the resort, snorkeling and diving is possible all around the sandbar.

The Marine Sanctuary is the best spot to snorkel around to sight different types of fishes, reefs, corals and many more. If you’re into diving, it is best to inquire Bluewater Resort to organize and diving activities where they are able to organize trips to up to 5 different sites.

SUMILON’S SHIFTING SANDBAR

For those who don’t know, one amazing fact of Sumilon sandbar is that it is always shifting, meaning that it moves and stretches at a direction constantly. Because of the monsoons, tropical rain and tide patterns cause the sandbar to shift.

With this shifting, the sand can reach up to the Southernmost tip. Tourists surely have a reason

SUMILON DAY PASS

Before going to the resort, if you are just planning to visit for a day in the island, it is highly suggested that you secure a day-pass for the island from Bluewater Sumilon Day Pass via Klook.

The day-pass entitles the buyer to use Bluewater’s facilities which includes a private beach, infinity pool, lagoon, restaurant and snorkeling trips.

Eligible Filipino Citizens Now Qualify for Visa-Free Travel to Canada

The Embassy of Canada to the Philippines has announced on its Twitter account that the Philippines has been added to the electronic travel authorization (eTA) program.

What does this mean? Filipino citizens with Canadian visas in the last ten years or those with valid United States non-immigrant visas can now apply for an eTA. The eTA can be used to travel to Canada by air instead of a visa. 

Visa-free air travel is a faster, easier, and cheaper option when visiting Canada for up to 6 months for business or leisure. However, travelers who are not eligible for eTA or people who travel by car, bus, train, and boat will have to show their visitor visa.

What is eTA?

eTA is a digital travel document that travelers need to present to be able to fly to Canada. These travelers are those who are exempted from presenting their visas.

To apply for eTA, you will need a valid passport, a credit card, an email address, and access to the internet. The fee for the application is CAN$7.

To know whether or not you can apply for eTA, you can visit Canada.ca/etA. You can also learn how to apply for eTA on the same link. 

According to the Minister of IRCC, Hon. Sean Fraser, including the Philippines in the eTA means more Filipinos can visit and enjoy Canada without the hassle of getting a visa. It will increase travel, tourism, and economic benefits.

Crystal blue spring water

The spring waters of Busay Spring and Cave are not only visually captivating but also boast mineral-rich and potable qualities.

The cave’s natural filtration system ensures that impurities are naturally removed, resulting in crystal-clear and safe waters.

The intricate formation of the cave

Once you venture into the cave, you can be enchanted by the mesmerizing formations of stalactites and stalagmites which we have mentioned before. 

Formed for over thousands of years, stalactites and stalagmites are stunning geological formations found within caves, and these are abundant in Busay Spring and Cave. 

Photo from Busay Spring And Cave Facebook Page

Stalactites hang gracefully from the cave ceilings, formed by mineral-rich water dripping down over thousands of years, creating icicle-like formations. 

Opposite from them, stalagmites rise majestically from the cave floor, growing upward as mineral deposits accumulate from the ground. 

As you explore the cave, you can’t help but be captivated by the awe-inspiring sight of stalactites and stalagmites, a testament to the passage of time and the remarkable forces of nature at work.

For those seeking a refreshing escape, take a dip in the crystal blue waters of Busay Spring. You can submerge yourself in the cool, pristine waters as you marvel at the sheer majesty of this underground paradise. 

Busay Spring and Cave are not just a feast for the eyes but also provide a unique glimpse into the wonders of the natural world. Embark on an adventure to this enchanting destination and discover the hidden treasures that await within its depths.
