Balai sa Baibai

"Balai sa Baibai is a play on the Bisayan translation of “house by the beach” coupled with the Thai concept of “Sabai-Sabai” which means to rest/relax/chill out. So, Balai sa Baibai means your home by the sea where you can sit back and relax. It is your extended family and home away from home in the Philippines." "Balai sa Baibai is located directly at one of the very rare sandy beaches on Camiguin with a breathtaking view over the Bohol Sea and the famous White Island.

Lakeview Le Jardin"

"Lakeview Le Jardin" When a storm passes by and shatters almost everything, it is easy to dismiss beauty and desire to enjoy the simplicity of life. When we were driving along Cebu City’s Trancentral Highway, a hopeful surprise greeted us in the form of this warm and cozy cafe in the mountains. Its wide mountain view that reaches Malubog Lake is like a yearning spirit of better days to come.  The storm winds were strong but it spared the garden which is as colorful as our hope for better tomorrow. This is not an escape from the city and the ravages of the typhoon as the nearby mountain trees are still devoid of foliage.

It is a place of comfort food and hopeful views, a pleasant cafe for you and the people that matters most. ...
