| Edison Gumapac loves to shop! The souvenir shop at Marilou
Resort/Dumaluan Beach Resort in Panglao offers different kinds of
chocolates. |
Edison Gumapac went to Panglao town on Saturday to escape from the city due to 12-hour power interruption in Bohol province.
"I want to relax here because it's hot and humid at home," said Edison, an educator.
Other residents sought air-conditioned environment like mall to cool down.
In Tagbilaran City, some business establishments used portable generators to cope with the power outage.
However, some small shops, most of them power-dependent, closed for the day.
In an advisory, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) said there was a 12-hour power outage on Saturday for
line stringing activity and annual preventive maintenance works.
After
"The Doctor Is In" (hosted by Dr. Doloreich Dumaluan), Edison, Helen
Castano and I enjoyed the white sand beach at Marilou /Dumaluan Beach
Resort. Other media friends-Dave Responte (dyTR), Rey Tutas (dyRD),
Allen Doydora (dyRD), Rene Daling (dyRD), Angel Guimalan and Kit Bagaipo
went home.
We also tried the "ganggangan" (sauna) with the supervision of Anthony Ceniza.
"Ganggangan"
is the new place for relaxation in Panglao. It can be more than
relaxing. It can be a place to cleanse body and soul for P250/30
minutes.
At the Marilou Souvenir Shop, you
can buy chocolate, nuts, and, sundry. So once you enter the shop, it
feels more like picking up groceries (oh, S&R and Landers!) than
entering a souvenir shop. They have different kinds of chocolates and
nuts.
"They have wines and spirits, too," gushed Edison.
Well, he shops till he drops.
