Paradise Philippines Volcano Tourism

You know the old saying that if life gives you a lemon, make lemonaide?
Well, the Paradise Philippines is now planning to start a new trend: Volcano Tourism.

The hottest “tourist destination” in Luzon are the eco tourism groups visiting the devestation around Mt Pinatubo.

There are nature tours of the region, which stress the devastation and the natural recovery of the ecosystem, along with teaching about the traditional ways of the local people. Of course, swimming in the crater’s lake is also available for those healthy enough to climb to the top…

But if you like less “Mordor” like scenery, try hiking up the Mayon volcano instead.

Oblation Run in Paradise Philippines

by: anonymous

I got to watch the movie "Naked Mile" dubbed as part of the American Pie movie series. It is for this reason that I remembered that back in Paradise Philippines, we do have this U.P Oblation Run. For those who doesn't know, U.P stands for University of the Philippines. When you enter the portals of this government subsidized college institution, you will be greeted by this famous naked statue.


Yearly, members of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity run in their birthday suits with masks on their faces around U.P., more specifically around Palma Hall in tribute to the Oblation, the university emblem that signifies academic freedom. This annual event is constantly patronize not only by th U.P. students but also by the students from other colleges and universities in Paradise Philippines. It usually happens at noon for preparations are done in the morning. It would be consistently jam packed as a mixed crowd of students, media people, journalists and photographers gather to witness this event.


Whatever the crowd thinks of this awesome display of freedom, bravery, camaraderie, social gathering - it boils down to Philippine Tradition.
