I was once a resident of Bacolod during my college days and has moved to Manila in 2012. I found your blogs very interesting, Im just curious if you’re also interested about financial literacy like bloggers Fitz Villafuerte and Bo Sanchez.

September 20, 2016 at 7:13 amHi Neo, I am very much into financial literacy 🙂 I’ve taken it upon myself to be smart with money. I do have some content lined up for that topic but that’s like the next phase of the blog 🙂 Thanks for dropping by!

January 12, 2017 at 10:00 pmNaghire po ba kayo ng private car or sumakay rin kayo ng ceres bus? Hindi po ba kami mahihirapan umuwi if in case sasakay lang kami ng bus?

January 14, 2017 at 12:44 amHi, thanks for dropping by. Please check the new Jomax Peak rates on their Facebook page. We went by our own car but I don’t think it would be difficult when you go by bus. You just have to leave early 🙂 A private car is more convenient but you have to be sure that the car is in top shape. Taas kasi 🙂 Enjoy Jomax Peak!

February 10, 2017 at 6:40 pmHeya Joemel, thanks for dropping by. You will love it there, promise! I think there’s a separate pay for the sunny shade, but please check their Facebook. I am working on an updated info post for this place. As for the vios, as far as I know the road is not bumpy. It would be best to give them a call to really confirm if a Vios is ok 🙂

March 7, 2017 at 5:57 pmHi! Do you have any idea why they would require a minimum of 5 for each group? My friends and I are thrilled to visit this place, but we’re only 3. 🙁
Mea P.
March 8, 2017 at 12:35 amI think it is alright if you three go there as long as you pay for 5 people. Please double check this with Jomax Peak to be sure 🙂
