Python Visit

Prony is a Philippine reticulated python that is self-developed and trained. It was captured in 1996 weighing 5kilos already with a length of 5feet. In 2005, it was over 280kilos with a length of 27feet and 34inches wide.

Unfortunately, as you could see from the photo above, the biggest and largest captivated snake died last year. This snake, that could only be found in Albuquerque is now preserved in this shrine.

If you decided to drop by here, your stop would still be worth it as they also shelter different kinds of animals and to replace Prony, they now have two snakes of different species. Their skin was so smooth Clyde can't stop touching them! :P

Also, this site won't be complete without the famous tarsiers of Bohol and to compensate the absence of live tarsiers, they have this big tarsier wall where you could pose as a tarsier yourself. I like this even better than the ones in the Tarsier Observatory!

The cutest tarsier of my life! :P

Tarsiers are famed for being the smallest monkey with large eyes. Mine has small slits for eyes! lol

Blood Compact Shrine

The Blood Compact Shrine is also known as the Sandugo Shrine. This is the first friendship treaty between the Filipinos and Spaniards in the year 1565 wherein Rajah Sikatuna and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi made a cut in their wrist and drank the drawn blood that was mixed together between the two leaders.

In Baclayon is where the oldest stone church in the Philippines could be found. Unfortunately, its been destroyed during the last major earthquake in Bohol and is now on going retrofitting and restoration.

Sunscreen and the City: Daylong’s Advocacy Towards Every Day Sun Protection

Living Protected From the Urban Sun

It has been almost a year since Daylong first introduced its campaign for daily, cellular sun protection, advocating that sunscreen should be part of everyday skincare regimen. The trusted makers of Cetaphil launched Daylong to provide clinically-proven protection against the sun, all the way to the cellular and DNA level. With a state-of-the-art formula that has a uniquely light texture and a smooth finish, this Swiss brand successfully conveys its message for daily, deep, and complete solar defense.

While the whole city bustles in preparation for summertime, and for days of basking under the beautiful sun on some of the most exquisite local beaches, Daylong has been working quietly – preparing for something bigger.

Staying true to its commitment of caring for the skin, whether the sun is out or not, Daylong conducted a study to reveal that the sun exposure in the city has the same intensity as at the beach. Using sun sensors that can detect UV radiation, Daylong has shown that the UV radiation in the city of Manila reaches the same level as on the beaches of Boracay.

“The concept of the study was to support our advocacy for daily sunscreen wear. Daylong is new in the game, but this is how we want to make an impact  – by undertaking a responsibility to provide daily sun care and protection that works even on a cellular level.” explains Jon Lee, Brand Manager of Daylong.

Daylong worked with five influential urbanites, whose schedules are immersed in city-living lifestyles. Each of them has a different role: student, blogger, runner, host and writer, and mother – but each shares the interest of balancing happy and successful lives.

These multi-faceted women are student and FOX Sports Asia courtside reporter, Janeena Chan; stylish mommy blogger who works on a 24-hour duty for 2 children, Jackie Go; the triathlete mom known as The Bull Runner who is a health and fitness inspiration to everyone, Jaymie Pizzaro; in-demand beauty blogger and owner of Catwalk Cosmetics and Wigs, Marj Sia; and lifestyle show writer and host, Marie Lozano.

Daylong produced a video where these five dynamic women show how they embody the lives we have today – always on-the-go, fulfilling duties simultaneously at home and at work or school, but always remaining protected from the sun.

Supporting this advocacy and in attendance was also Dr. Daisy Ismael, President of the Philippine Dermatological Society.
