Getting From Mactan Airport To Anywhere Else: A Guide

Getting From Mactan Airport To Anywhere Else: A Guide

Getting to a new and unfamiliar place may be, to many, an exciting and thrilling adventure but can also be a confusing and puzzling experience. So many questions fill up in your head, especially if you don’t have someone with you that is familiar with the place, and one of those questions would be, “how do I get from here to this place in my goals?” as travelling is always a constant movement and a constant flow.

Luckily, this guide is here to help you out.

White and Yellow Taxis

Taxis or cabs are always the standard go to vehicles when travelling as it can lead you to specific locations. Here in Cebu, there are two different-colored taxis: the white taxi and the yellow taxi.

The yellow taxi is also called an airport taxi because, as the name implies, it is available in the airport and is suitable to your needs, especially when your needs include tons and tons of baggage. The yellow taxi is capable of fitting in many bags and lead you to your hotel or vacation home as smoothly as it can. However, it is much pricier than the standard white taxis, having a mark up totaling to P70 starting fare, compared to the P40 of the white taxi.

The white taxi is the standard between the two and can be found anywhere else. There are a lot of them so availability is not an issue although it can be at times, especially during rush hours. Some of the taxis might refuse to go to a specific location possibly because of heavy and concentrated traffic jams to where you’re going, so always be sure to tell where you’re going to first. It starts up on P40.

The both of them are based on their meters and are available for 24 hours. If you’re confused about which one to pick, basically: if you have a lot of luggage and not too picky on prices, you can opt for yellow taxis. If you have a considerably small luggage and concerned on your budget, then pick the white ones.

Note that pregnant women, elderly, and guests with kids have a priority lane in the airport.

  • Fare To SM: P200 – P250 during normal traffic

MyBus

The MyBus is a fairly recent option for transportation but unlike the taxi, it cannot take you to a very specific address that you would like to go to. Instead, from the airport, you can take the MyBus to go to the SM City Cebu in the North Reclamation Area. To the unfamiliar, SM City Cebu is one of the many malls in Cebu and is very prominent and convenient for it has its own terminal which can then lead you to your destination. Although, if you’d like, the MyBus also stops at certain locations.

MyBus Stops (From Mactan Airport To SM City Cebu):

  • Island Central Mall
  • Maayo Medical Center and Hotel
  • City Times Square/Big Hotel
  • Mantawi International Drive Across Chong Hua Hospital
  • Mantawi International Drive Near MO2 Restobar
  • North Bus Terminal
  • Fare to SM City Cebu is P40

(fare could go less depending on the distance)

 The MyBus has a queue outside the airport so be sure to line up ahead. There are also other MyBus routes going to different places so be sure to check it out.

Yellow Multicab

If you want to feel the typical Cebuano experience or tight on budget (which is also a typical Cebuano experience), you can opt for the Yellow Multicabs found outside the airport. Be wary as multicabs are narrow vehicles so big luggages are not suitable as it will take up a lot of space. Again, note that this is not advisable if you are bringing a lot of things. Also be aware that these cabs follow routes, so expect a lot of transferring to other vehicles.

These cabs can go to

  • Marina Mall
  • Gaisano South
  • Opon Merkado
  • Fare – P8

 From Marina Mall you can go to Park Mall via other cabs but this time they are the normal and standard jeepney cabs here in Cebu. You can ride one with the placard on the cab’s windshield or signage on the vehicle that says “Parkmall” or you can ask around which cab goes to Parkmall. From Parkmall you can go to SM City Cebu via their jeepney port.

Budbod Kabog: Catmon’s Version of Suman

Filipinos have their own taste when it comes to desserts, with rice as one of the staple ingredients when making them. Puto, biko, budbod – you name it; all of these are all-time Filipino classics loved by all ages. In the northern part of Cebu, specifically in Catmon, a unique take in making budbod.

What makes this northern Cebuano delicacy is that instead of rice, the budbod kabog uses millet or locally known as kabog. This crop is very abundant in the mountains of Catmon, where residents of the area discovered that the small-seeded plant is edible and a perfect alternative for other grains.

Local folklore says that the kabog or the millet grass was discovered by a farmer inside a cave in Barangay Agsuwao in Catmon. He then took the millet seeds back home and cooked them but upon realizing that they were almost flavorless and had a coarse texture, he experimented and eventually came up with the budbod kabog recipe locals now enjoy.

Budbod kabog is so iconic in Catmon mainly because they also hold a festival for it, the Budbod Kabog Festival. True to its name, the festival honors how this savory sweet treat is made by performing an eight-step dance representing the processes of making the budbod kabog namely:

  • First Step – the “Kabhid” or the act of bending to plant the kabog seeds on the ground.
  • Second Step – the “Bugaw” or the act of shooing birds away before they consume the seeds that are to be harvested.
  • Third Step – the “Hakot” or the act of harvesting the seeds.
  • Fourth Step – the “Gi-ok” or the act of separating the grain from the stalk.
  • Fifth Step – the “Asod” or the act of pounding the shell from the grain.
  • Sixth Step – the “Alig-ig” or the act of separating the grain from the shell using an oblong container or the “hapag.”
  • Seventh Step – the “Pasiko” or the act of cooking the budbod kabog.
  • Eighth Step – the “Kilikiti” or the act of wrapping the delicacy in banana leaves.

HOW TO MAKE BUDBOD KABOG

The ingredients listed below can produce up to 10 pieces of budbod kabog, so feel free to adjust the ratio depending on how much you want.

  • 1 cup of kabog/millet, washed
  • 1&1/2c coconut milk
  • 1/2c coconut milk
  • 3/4c light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract(optional)

Prepare the 1 cup of kabog, already washed and place it in a bowl. Soak the kabog with water and leave it overnight. Then, once you can see that the kabog particles have become gooey, in a heating pan, place the one and a half cup of coconut milk then mixed with the soaked kabog. Make sure to stir the mixture together before cooking it in low heat for about 5 to 8 minutes. You will then notice that it starts to rise.

While in the pan, stir the cooked kabog to make sure that they are evenly cooked. In a separate pan, add the additional one-half cup of coconut milk, three-fourths cup of light brown sugar and the one-fourth teaspoon of salt. Cook under low heat and occasionally stir as soon as you see bubbles rising. Once it gets thick, add a half teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir. Then, add the cooked kabog to the pan with the syrup, cook in medium heat until the liquid evaporates.

Once that is done, prepare the wrapping for the budbod kabog. Banana leaves are the most popular packaging for this delicacy and make sure to expose it under heat before using it. Place the budbod kabog in the banana leaves, and roll it, similar how to make lumpia.

Lastly, add the packed budbod kabog into a steamer and cook under medium heat for about an hour. The budbod kabog is now ready to be served.

Notable Mayors of Cebu City & Their Works: A Brief History

Cebu City is a magnificent city rich with culture and history. In fact, it is actually the oldest city in the Philippines, being the first Spanish settlement and the nation’s first capital. Now, Cebu City is populated with skyscrapers left and right. You can have almost anything in the city as there are a lot of things readily available.

Want to have a party? Mango Avenue is right there for you. Want to go to the mall and ice skate? SM Seaside has their doors open for that. It even now has an oceanarium, making it a delight to live in.

However, this city did not just instantly turn into what it is now in a quick snap. It has been evolving slowly but surely with the help of its leaders, the mayors. Thus, it is appropriate to give credit where credit is due and appreciate what they have done for the city. Here are some of the most notable mayors throughout history.

Adventures of the Deep: Freediving in Moalboal

Freediving is the underwater equivalent of trekking and hiking.

It is a diving enthusiast’s way of appreciating and communing with the nature of marine gardens under the ocean and the sea creatures that live amongst the ocean flora.

Unlike its land equivalents, freediving requires a lot of patience, discipline, and practice because it involves diving without any equipment to preserve the order underwater and avoid scaring the fishes and stressing them out. Freediving is the rawest form of experiencing the deep blue and its wonders.

The most prominent freediving sites in Cebu are mostly found in Moalboal. This is due to the close proximity of Moalboal shores to many coral gardens and underwater habitats which can be witnessed even without complex diving equipment.

Here is a guide for you to start your diving adventures in Moalboal.

Why dive in Moalboal?

Sardine Run | Giachen’s World

As mentioned previously, Moalboal has an array of diving spots that require little effort to access. Aside from that, it is also where the famous Sardine Run can be witnessed. Just a few minutes of boat ride from the beach is the beautiful Pescador Island that boasts of steep walls and abundant shallows – the perfect spots for freedivers. To complete the diving experience, there are also a couple of marine protected sites along the coastline that are just a short ride away.

Pescador Island, Sardine Run in Panagsama Beach, Tangmo, Talisay, and Ronda Bay are diving spots that are close to one another. If you plan on diving for a few days, then it’s possible to explore all of them.

Pescador Island contains some dramatic drops with walls that extend into the deep. On the walls are a profusion of corals that are clinging on while hosting sea critters. There are many turtles that casually swim in these waters as well. Aggregations of corals that rise in small mountains over the white sand can also be seen near the shallow parts.

The coastal sites of Tangmo and Talisay are more reef rich and host an abundance of turtles. Just be careful though because there are also occasional snakes that swim in these waters.

Best time to freedive

Turtle’s Point | Olga Tsai

Weather conditions stay pretty constant in Moalboal all-year round. The only issue that will be encountered here is the stream of people coming in from November to May. June to October is the optimal season to visit Moalboal to avoid big crowds.

Where to stay?

Establishments in Moalboal have taken into consideration their fame as a diving destination and recognize the need for divers to look for affordable places to stay. The main diving area is the Panagsama Beach and there are a couple of seaside accommodations lining the beach. Some famous accommodations are the Savedra Beach Bungalows and Love’s Beach and Dive Resort. More than just providing rooms and beds, there are many that also provide diving equipment and services to the guests.
