#CavEAT: Cavinti Eco-Adventure Tour (First Day Wrap Up)

Wazzup Pilipinas!

To continue with our stories of our #CavEAT: Cavinti Eco-Adventure Tour, we head off towards our first destinations for the day on board a jeepney (the best way to tour the Philippines) after having a filling breakfast of hotdog, eggs, "dinuguan" (amazing  dish) and "puto," plus a short orientation from Ms. Nitzshell Dela Torre of the LGU Tourism Office of Cavinti held at the Bumbungan Eco-Park.. There was also a short stop at the Kalakal (Pandan Weaving Center) to get our "sambalilos" to protect us from the sun and rain before finally reaching the Pueblo El Salvador Eco Park.
The #CavEAT: Cavinti Eco-Adventure Tour is a Tourism Advocacy Campaign to help generate online buzz for the upcoming Cavinti Water Sports Olympics: 1st International Competition happening on February 8-14, 2015. Several activities were lined up for two days and surprisingly, even though there were a few hiccups along the way, we managed to do most of it as planned, plus an added bonus visit to the Japanese Garden.

Our visit at the Pueblo El Salvador Eco Park was a surprising pathway towards the majestic Cavinti Falls, otherwise known as the Pagsanjan Falls, but geographically should be called Cavinti Falls since its located in Cavinti, Laguna. But it wasn't easy getting there from our point of origin since we had to take several flights of metal stairs and ladders going down into the very bottom where the Cavinti Falls is located.

Tripda Philippines: To Ease Traffic Congestions During the Papal Visit

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas is among those that gets frustrated when caught in the traffic congested roads of Metro Manila. Many ways and means have been tried but aside from the crowded and often troubled MRT or LRT mass transportation, all the rest of the means to travel puts us in a situation that leaves us either stressed, furiously mad or both.

This predicament actually gets worst when there's a special gathering or activity happening at certain areas of our city. We would encounter blocked roads and rerouting of familiar paths that would add more worries and confusion to our already stressed minds, bodies and emotions.

Tripda Philippines, another company backed by Berlin-based and recently listed Rocket Internet, is on a mission to make traveling more fun here in the Philippines. Tripda matches car owners with spare seats in their cars with passengers going the same route so they can share the ride more comfortably, share the costs, minimize carbon footprint, minimize traffic and meet new people.

It's more fun in the country because Tripda and its carpooling operations encourages more people to share their ride especially during the Papal Visit in the country. This campaign also comes with a noble intention to provide donation of school kits to the children of the Virlanie Foundation, an organization that supports education and gives needs to homeless children.
