Will Guimaras be the MTB bike paradise of the Philippines

Wheels of Happiness

Guimaras, the  Bike Paradise of the Philippines?

The high cost of travel would discourage most of the MTB and would gravitate to local sites.















As of now many in Rizal and Metro Manila would prefer the Bugarin ride in Pililla especially now that there are wind turbines there.

Weekend again at Panay Island

I was in Oton Iloilo again to  meet with several people, meet with several govt officials regarding our project in Oton Iloilo.   I landed at the Iloilo International Airport in Sta Barbara.  I flew in together with the chairman of St. Peter Life Plan who was welcomed "bongga" by their staff.

I was able to meet the govt  officials one before noontime, the other at 1:30.  I stayed at usual at Riverside Inn where the room costs only P455.00 for senior citizen (aircon, and with cable TV, single occupancy.

Secx Noe was in our office at about 9:30 this morning.   I was wondering why.  He said Master E texted him to check me out because I have not been with the group for the last 2 weeks.  Well I said, I had permission from Luis and I informed him I had teaching chores at Iloilo.

That is good to know he said.   I might be sick or whatever?

Thank you guys for checking out.  Thanks for your caring

                                  I was seated near the wing, winglet over there and blue skies

I was unable to join the ride yesterday January 12, 2013 because of teaching chore in Iloilo.  I would just like to share the view from the plane when I took for the said city last January 12 2013.  That is the best thing I could - to share.  Come and enjoy the pictures.

Unable to bike today, was in Iloilo City today, December 15, 2013

Iloilo City, Philippines, December 15, 2013

I was not able to join Recyclists today in the religious, customary bike to Simples Lugawan and Pisong Kape.  I was in Iloilo.  However in the hotel I stayed, I saw a lot of MTBs having their breakfast, and biking.  I asked around, and they said, they would be doing climbing in the mountains near Guimaras.

More and more young and old alike are catching the biking fever in Iloilo City

                                        Biking towards Circle Inn hotel direction

                                    I am surprised by the number of bikers.

                                     Are they going to the sea shore?

                                       They will bike in these mountains;  note the cross

                     Gorgeous view of the Guimaras Bay;  the MTBs will bike towards the mountain

                                        Fishing villages

                                       Showing off the catch for the day

                                      Latest hotel in town

                                        This place serves breakfast

                                      Red horse for breakfast

                                         Native chicken for sale

                                       Are they selling the rooster

                     Street food in Iloilo City market;  breakfast of rice and egg with coffee was P40.00 only

Iloilo, Phl, June 15, 2013

I made a photo study of the reflection of city skyline of Iloilo after last night's heavy rain.  It rains every afternoon in Iloilo.  The results are startling

                                  Reflection of a building on a puddle

                                   Reflection of a pink building and telco ads

                                 Reflection of panaflex signs.

                                       Building reflection
