I’m just passing through this world.” - Billy Graham

Upon entering Garin Farm, a long green vegetable tunnel will be your first sight. On the sides are different farm animals they take care of. Experiencing Garin Farm with my SFC Santolan-Greenpark Chapter family.

After a long tunnel of green vegetables, you can see a pond at the center of Garin Farm, wherein it offers activities such as zipline.

There is also doves' cage near the pond, so when all of them are flying, it was really fun to watch. After a not-so-long walk and sight-seeing.

You can also try the pilgrimage and experience heaven afterward. Gate to Garin Farm Pilgrimage. As you climb take time to stop and meditate on different scenes of  Christ’s life. Pray and feel God's holy presence.

Reaching the top was not that easy but a very satisfying moment for us, as we finally reached the inspiring Divine Mercy Cross and seeing the big image of the Divine Mercy was a great relief. One of the glimpses is when you enter a very dark room.

It recalls our challenges, dark times in life, and the moments when we don't know where's the light anymore.

Praise God! As the light appears and the tunnel takes you toward the light and into heaven. HEAVEN ON EARTH! The place is so bright that we could hardly open our eyes.

I had to shield my eyes from it until my eyes adjusted to the brightness. The light-filled me with the rapture of love, peace, and joy, it was so intense and so beautiful.

There are angels blowing their trumpets who stand beyond the gate of heaven as you can see the Throne of Light and Glory. Heaven is so beautiful, my heartfelt very peaceful.

" its just near by the beach...the room is so huge weve got a 2 queen size bed hahaha just for 2pax . "

" We stayed there on a 60% discount through Agoda and we were delighted with the place. Almost everything was good -- but there are a few things you should know. First, it was very hard to find. Our tricycle driver got lost a couple times -- and he knows the area well. then my lady had to get out of the tricycle and go scouting for about 20 minutes to mind the place. The address provided on Agoda is nothing more than a hint about the location. Second, the neighborhood looks like a construction zone. Be sure to keep your eyes on your feet at all times or run the risk of a faceplant. It is essential that you carry a flashlight at night to navigate the path. The third problem -- and the most important for me -- is the near total absence of Internet service. The Inn offers internet only to the extent required to advertise it honestly on Agoda. In practice, it simply does not work. If the Internet is important to you, then stay away. "

" Safe because it has a gate. Accessible in terms of location. Budget friendly. Two things to improve is that shower should/must have a hot and cold and put mini cabinet. Overall it was good. A must try. "

"Staffs are very helpful & had great time with all the people including Ms. Irene."

Outdoor Activities in Boracay Island

Most of the outdoor activities I do just sort of led into each other. I did a lot of hiking and backpacking, a friend took me climbing in Lantawan in Mararison Island. Normally I get my ideas for what to do and where to go from my community of friends and outdoor partners.

Island Hopping is a great family bonding or group of "barkadas". this tour may include pick up to your Hotel in Boracay, snorkeling gear, foods to eat (boodle fight), van service going to Tuburan Resort in mainland (Caticlan). If you want to book your affordable Island Hopping in Boracay you may contact me for the discounted rates. This tour may took 3-4 hours. Search me on Google
