Pantabangan Dam Sport Fishing in Nueva Ecija

6 Comments |

After our spelunking adventure in Bulacan, we traveled further north to Nueva Ecija to try out sport fishing at the Pantabangan Dam.

The first time I saw it in our Lakbay Norte itinerary, I was like … sport fishing?!! that doesn’t seem to be as exciting as surfing, white water rafting, airsoft, paddle boarding, or even most items in the itinerary for that matter.

I was actually more excited about the long road travel to Nueva Ecija because I really needed the sleep. Exciting, right?

In the end, I was actually glad I had low expectations of visiting the Pantabangan Dam because the awesome experiences we had that afternoon really took me by surprise.

Lakbay Norte 3: Eight Days of Fun Adventures in North Philippines

40 Comments |

I had just returned to my empty hostel room in a small town in Southern Palawan when I got a call from the North Philippines Visitors Bureau. They broke the news that I was chosen as one of the lucky travel bloggers joining the 3rd edition of the Lakbay Norte media tour. I was overwhelmed with excitement but I had to keep it to myself … I was traveling solo and there wasn’t anyone around that could relate anyways. The timing couldn’t have been better. It was the perfect way to kick-start my 2012 season of traveling.

I found out later when I got the chance to go online that I was going to be stuck with five other amazing travel bloggers on the Lakbay Norte 3 tour … that’s 8 whole days across 11 provinces in North Philippines! I almost fainted at the thought of traveling with Gael from thepinaysolobackpacker, Ed from soloflighted, James from journeyingjames, Angel from lakwatsero, and Christian from lakad-pilipinas.
