ReplyDeleteHello Sir! Ask ko lng po sna kung posibble po n makasamba ako sa Cagbalete? May place of worship po ba ang Iglesia Ni Cristo dun? thanks sir and more power to your blog!
ReplyDeletehi there,
Deletehndi ako sigurado kung merong simbahan ng INC sa Cagbalete Island.. pero merong malaking INC church sa bayan ng Mauban (matatanaw sa Pier ng Mauban).
will be going there this weekend. problem ko rin yung pagsamba. meron nga po sa Mauban, malapit lang sa port. available pa kaya ngayon ang public boat?
DeleteI've been searching blog about Hagdan-Hagdan falls in Balay-Balay, Mauban Quezon. Gano kaya ito kalayo from town proper? Baka kasi kaya isingit sa IT namin sa Dec/Jan.
ReplyDeleteTIA
Hi, ask ko lang if you have a contact number to where you guys stayed while in Mauban, the Fiesta Royale Apartelle. I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. Just wanted to check for their rates. Thank you :)
