Yes, Almost a month ago, I went to Dipolog City for a two-day training. This was during the Zamboanga City siege, I know! katakot kaya? R and my family asked me 10x if I really need to go, or hindi daw ba makakacancel? R even asked me not to go, takot lang niya mawalan ng asawa haha! But the people in Dipolog assured us that Dipolog City is peaceful and nothing to worry about. And true enough we enjoyed our stay there almost, If only baby D did not get sick while I am away.
This is my second time to visit Dipolog, and this place is one of my favorite. Life is so simple. People are accommodating, the slow paced life made me relaxed and wanna stay chos! My first time here, we visited Dapitan and Dakak, will find time to post the photos, promise! But for this trip, we opted not to go out often, be better safe at the hotel ang drama namin. But, but since city life in Dipolog is so simple that their central market is just a few blocks from the hotel, dun nalang kami namasyal. I enjoyed! from someone na nag-iinarte na wet markets, I appreciate their market there. Hindi mabaho, wala masyadong tao, hindi maingay and sobrang fresh at mura ng bilihin. Sobrang nagsisi talaga ako at hindi ako namili ng maraming dried fish! I thought kasi kasing presyo lang sa manila haha bad. bad. Lemme show you the photos?? Sorry if walang captions ung iba, because this was almost a month ago, inatake na ako ng momnessia! (excuses!)
Public transportation is more on habal-habal.
Freshness! I think this is tuna.
Fresh dalagang bukid.
Ganyan kalaki mga fish, parang buto ng pigs mga bones nila.
Galunggongs!
Dried Fish for P70 per kilo (I thought pareho lang dito P120 per kilo pala)
Veggies are packed ready for kilawin!
Seaweeds! P20 per kilo.
Bananas!
Durian madness! we ate this by the sidewalk. sarap. (wag lang amuyin)
Our last night was spent out din naman. We went dinner to their famous dampa in Dapitan City. Yumminess the food. Mindanao and Visayas regions talaga are the best in fresh seafoods.
Restaurant by the bay. During day, you can have lunch by the boat cruising by the bay.
Native table settings.
We love the packaging of the spoon and fork. Muntik na maiuwi.
Spicy Crabs.!
This is heaven. Grilled banana split with vanilla ice cream.
Dipolog and Dapitan City are one of the simple yet beautiful places i've been. Must visit.
Looks like you had a great time in Dipolog. I miss rural living, the fresh air and the care free life! :) BTW, thanks for including me in your blogroll *hugs*
