Two weeks ago, I was invited by a college friend to visit their province somewhere in south of Cebu because they're having their Annual Fiesta. I was excited then since it's my first time to visit Aloguinsan and it's my time also to met my friends way back in
college years. Without any further discussions, I packed my things right away then.
We took a V-Hire from Citilink Cebu City going to Pinamungahan because the V-hire directly going to Aloguinsan was until 2 pm only. We left Cebu City around 7:00 pm and after two (2) hours of seating on and chatting with friends with different topics inside the van, we finally arrived in Pinamungahan. After we got off, we rode a single motorcycle that local folks called it “HABAL-HABAL” going to Aloguinsan that took us 10-15 minutes.We directly went to our friend's house and took our dinner since it's late already.
After freshen up, we went to disco where a lot of people dancing on a small squared place. They were bumping each other already. It's nice though because it's easy to know the local ladies on the area. After dancing, we decided to sing along in a Karaoke along the road and with a bottles of beer that completed the event.
Waking up the following morning was too hard. We supposedly decided to attend the 10 am mass but unfortunately we missed it. Instead we just went to church later in the afternoon, lighted a candles, offered our wishes and prayer. It was also the time we saw the municipality of Aloguinsan by day and I personally got impressed how beautiful the place was.
I love the park where it's over looking the beach and siting the island of Negros. The wind was so refreshing and inviting us to stay more in this place. We also went to Hidden Beach Resort that lived up to it's name... really hidden but it was very nice. It was really quite and have white sand shore that you could lay your camping tent.
For two days being there is not enough to fell the lay back lifestyle of Aloguinsan people but I am very sure that I'm going back there and experienced again the life that I really wanted.... simple and quite!
