Masaya ako sa resulta at performance ko sa buong season kasi nakuha ko ang championship ng 2018 Honda Pilipinas Dream Cup.”

Sean Barcial

Nung Race 2, naging aggressive ako sa cornering ko and chicane, naging maganda ang laban namin nina Jakob at Kervie. Happy parin ako dahil malaki parin ang nakuha kong points.

Kervie Bergania:

”Masaya ako sa naging resulta ko this weekend. Naramdaman ko talaga na nag improve ang aking skills at napakita ko yun sa Race 1 and 2, consistent na ang aking takbo sa podium finish ko. Masasabi ko lang na malaking bagay na nakasali ako sa Dream Cup. Maraming Salamat Honda.”

Camayan Beach Resort and Ocean Adventure Experience!

Subic Bay's Camayan Beach Resort is one of those special places that make an impression that will last a lifetime. Camayan Beach Resort is located at the water's edge at the entrance of Subic Bay, it provides the perfect blend of peace, tranquility and beauty. An enjoyable and stress-free vacation. Managed by Ocean Adventure, so you’re guaranteed the same quality of service that you enjoy at our park. Relax in a comfortable cabana, enjoy good food and drinks, and swim or snorkel under the watchful eyes of our beach life guard.

Located amidst the exquisite and tranquil ocean and forest of Subic Bay, this beauty is something that I have been dreaming to go to from quite some time. I've read both good and bad reviews about it but my impression is still very good on this place due to the fact that subic is one of the places outside of Metro Manila that is a go to place for summer which have an array of both virgin forests and wonderful beach resorts in it. I like how the government is backing up and really preserving the natural beauty of the place.

My experience with my short stay was a lot of fun. I was able to experience to swim by the beach, really memorable because I was able to see fishes just swimming next to me, and they are almost in the shore, and If I did bring some bread I would also be lucky enough to feed them while I swim with them. Those marine life in it are really people friendly!

I like the fact that they are strictly maintaining the integrity of the place being a sanctuary for various amount of marine species. I got the chance of feeding the fishes from the deck of a restaurant there next to the sea and it is quite fun, relaxing and relieves stress for me, you can see all the fish trying to swarm around the white bread that we were throwing. There were other activities though that I wish I can try when I get back like non pro diving and riding the motorboat and feed the fishes from there.

During the afternoon, we were able to explore Ocean Adventure which  is a marine conservatory and adventure park  founded by animal behaviorists and trainers. Another fun and educational tour I can say. They usually have educational tours for students there but it will also be fun to tour around as a tourist. You get to see the variety of fishes in Ocean Discovery Aquarium were they showcase the variety of fish that is available there, although it is not all of if but it is pretty much enough for me. Aside from the educational tour there you can also have dolphine encounter, you can visit their store for souvenirs  and dine from the restaurants and the stalls in the park.

Don't miss the shows that they have because it is going to be the hightlight of your trip there. The dolphin show is really awesome! That was the first time I saw it in person and the dolphins were amazing! Doing tricks together with their trainers . Another good show to watch will be the Sea Lions. The story line with their trainers will really entertain you and this will make your tour whether be a date or with your family be worth your while.

Camayan Wharf, West Ilanin Forest Area Subic Bay Freeport Zone 2222, Philippines

The Alaska IronKids Race Series is just one of many sports development programs that Alaska conducts yearly to engage children to come out and play.

Tree Top Adventure Baguio - Experience The Extreme

Experience extreme adventure and extreme relaxation at Tree Top Adventure Baguio, the only motorized zipline in the Philippines and the only Team Building facility in Baguio. With seven outdoor activities and team building facilities, located within Camp John Hay, surrounded by pine trees and overlooking breathtaking views, Tree Top Adventure Baguio offers an adventure of a lifetime.

For the thrill seekers who want to experience extreme adventure, you might want to experience their Tree Drop in which you’ll be suspended 60 feet above the ground, mission impossible style and you’ll be falling as fast as 2 to 3 seconds. This Tree Top’s most extreme activity costs Php 150.00 only and this is one way to really quench your thirst for adrenaline rush. You might also want to try rides done in pairs: the Superman Ride and Silver Surfer. As the name implies, you’ll be ziplining, Superman Style, 200 meters long, 150 feet above the ground, but instead of doing it just forwards, you would also be ziplining backwards. Silver Surfer is a 60 degree diagonal motorized zipline in which you’ll be standing on a specialized platform and you’ll be gliding up and down for three cycles. Expect that there would be stops and swings for every cycle. For Php 300.00 and Php 200.00 respectively, you could experience what superheroes feel as they fly and glide through the air.

For those who want to experience extreme relaxation, you could try the Canopy and Funicular ride which costs Php350.00. The Canopy is similar to the concept of cable cars, but instead, you’ll be seated on cable chairs in which you’ll be transferring from one station to another until you complete all eight stations. When you reach the station four of the Canopy, you would walk for around 2 to 3 minutes to be able to reach the connecting ride of Canopy which is the Funicular ride. This ride is similar to the concept of elevator, but, instead of standing up, you’ll be seated. This is at least a way for you to conquer your fear of heights. But, if you really have extreme fear of heights, you could just avail the Trekking and Skywalk in which you would walk around Tree Top’s area and go up the skywalk area, or the viewing deck in which you could see the mountains of Itogon, Benguet, the so called, old Baguio before. You could stay at the Skywalk areas long as you want to take pictures and feel the cold breeze.

If your company plans to have a convention or seminar at Baguio, you might want to experience Tree Top's Team Building Activities which includes two high element activities (Tree Drop and Silver Surfer), five low element activities, boodle lunch and facilitators for just Php 800.00 per head only. The activities would really challenge each member and how they work with their workmates. Work and play, as the cliché says!

You might also want to try another branch of Tree Top Adventure Subic located at the JEST Area, Upper Mau Cubi Point Subic Bay Freeport Zone.
