We already closed Escapezone Travel and Tours as of May 2016 (videos of its documents including BIR receipts may still reflect in our youtube channel and other social media accounts). Thus we are now back in collaborating as a group of bloggers acting as middlemen. Quotes are properly noted.

Voucher = Receipt?
Speaking of voucher/s, please present it to your assigned group resource person. Meantime, since Escapezone is already closed. You may use your online transaction or deposit as your expense receipt or company receipt. As to the voucher, please be advised however that the whole amount may not reflect thereon.

The public market’s fresh fish comes from nearby fishing villages and are delivered as early as 6AM. Fish is cheaper here compared to Manila. Yellowfin Tuna meat can go as low as P120 per kilo (great for kilawin and sashimi) during the seasonal catch. Juvenile and other tuna species such as Skipjacks, Bonito and Yellowfin can go as low as P70 per kilo. Dorados, Snappers, Groupers, Shrimps and Squid are frequently available most especially in the morning.

Why are we not including Nagsasa Tour Guide?
At times there is no water in the falls and weather condition may not be feasible, unlike in anawangin. Hence, upon arrival at Nagsasa and everything is good to go then just ask the help of tour guide. Ask Kuya Joven ahead of time in case you will need a tourguide

Is there a need for tour guide in Anawangin?
There was back in a day where Anawangin is not that organized. Also there has been a concern with regard to the hiking area. Which we have decided to take out our tour guide to avoid disputations. The owners (katutubo) in which we are loyal sending guests with, shall watch for your safety. They will show the direction to the hiking area and may assist along the way but they are not tour guides.
