Sagada Is Among Cordillera Towns Under Poll Watchlist

by MJ on April 5, 2010

Here’s a news story from the Manila Bulletin listing 21 Cordillera towns under the poll watchlist. Sagada is under category 2 because of some influence of rebel forces in some parts of the area.

It just came as a surprise to me because I didn’t know there were rebel groups near the area. In fact, I’ve always felt safe whenever I traveled to Sagada.

Sagada Caves: Inside the Sumaguing Cave Part 3

by MJ on January 6, 2010

At the lower part of the Sumaguing Cave are water basins that are very cold and sparkling clear. You will love wading through the shallow water as the cold water tingles your feet. The water is too clean that many times I was tempted to take a drink.

by admin on July 31, 2009

The water is very, very chilly! And if you think that rock’s surface look slippery, then you’re wrong. Go barefoot and you can feel the soles of your feet clinging to the rock.

April 12, 2009

I have just removed my sticky post about inviting people to email me regarding their Sagada inquiries. I made that post in January and since then I literally received dozens of emails asking various Sagada questions.

A Room at St. Joseph’s Inn

March 22, 2009

I stayed once at St. Joseph back in 2007 and I enjoyed it there completely. As it’s located on a hill, when you step outside of the inn, you will get a nice view of the town of Sagada including the mountains surrounding it. Although you can’t tell by the picture, when I stayed there [...]

Sagada Trip Budget

February 15, 2009

For the past couple of days, three people emailed me asking how much should their budget be if they are going for a two-day Sagada trip. I said P4,000 should be more than enough. I once survived on a P2,500 budget but that was because I traveled alone and I didn’t hire any guides when [...]

I Have Yet to See Lake Danum

February 1, 2009

In all my trips to Sagada, I have yet to visit Lake Danum. They say it is best to go there during sunset and watch the glimmering water and the fading sun beyond the mountains. Now that would be a lovely sight indeed. I don’t know but every time I go to Sagada, Lake Danum [...]
