Snow in the Philippines? You’d better believe it. Our kids can finally experience real snow in Manila without traveling abroad. Snow World, located inside Star City, is a cold snowy environment with temperature of less than 15 degrees centigrade.

10. Museo Pambata
Museo Pambata is an interactive children’s museum that aims to teach kids through hands-on experience and interaction with its exhibits. Every Filipino child should visit this museum to learn our Filipino Heritage through displays that they can see, hear and feel.

Syoti’s Birthday
On your birthday, your mom and I decided to go out-of-town to celebrate your birthday. We wanted to go somewhere that we have not been to and have a chance to explore another city — like Davao. We were fortunate to get the zero fare of Cebu Pacific and to stay for free for four days at Crown Regency in Davao. We met with Tita Anna Vi, Tita Lani Ayala, and Tito Deq while we were in Davao.
