Crossing Misamis Occidental: Dipolog to Pagadian



Pagadian City - Dakak Beach Resort, Dapitan City, Zamboanga del No
Dakak
This was God's belated birthday gift to me - an unplanned but much dreamed about tour of the Philippine islands. On July 9, 2008, we boarded Philippine Airlines for an almost one and a half hour travel to Dipolog, the capital City of Zamboanga del Norte. After filling our grumbling stomach with seafood laden lunch at the "Kamayan ni Nanay" along the coastal road of Dapitan City, we took the 10 to 12 kilometers long and winding road to Dakak, a well developed beach resort with amenities like a swimming pool, casino, a golf course and well manicured landscaped gardens.

Growing up in rural Philippines in the 1950's

If by chance God is going to ask me to chronicle my life, it will not actually amount to something worth reading; but all the same, how I relate my life from my point of view is what really matters most to HIM.
