Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
A former officemate of Tutubi emailed him the schedule of the upcoming Aliwan Fiesta to be held on April 23-25 in Manila, something he missed these past few years but expects to miss again this year due to personal reasons. The Aliwan Festival 2009 schedule of activities:
April 23, 2009 (Thursday)

Do visit the official website of Aliwan Fiesta for the updated schedules and latest news. Tutubi intends to try his luck someday in the photography contest...after improving his really mediocre photography skills of course. Note the parade route and festival venue from Quirino Grandstand up to CCP complex in Pasay City
