We
will stay here at Zaycoland Resort and Hotel in Kabankalan City. This will be
our home for three days, thanks to Mr. Tootsie and Pie Zayco for hosting our
stay and trip.
This
Saturday, there will be pool party inside Zaycoland at night, entrance fee is
PHP 50 and it’s a non stop pool party with live music DJs and some booze… I will
be there too to join the party and fun, but I will just spend the time
snorkeling around by the pool just to take away all the stress I got from
Manila.
