Forevermore in Search of Twin Strawberry

Inspired by the tv series of “Forevermore” by Xander and Agnes cute love team pair, we decided to go to La Trinidad, Benguet, Strawberry Farm to search for the twin strawberry.

As they say, if you find this twin strawberry, you have to eat the half of that strawberry with your lovey dove so you’ll stay forever. I’m so carried away on this recently ended tv series. So…… here we go!

Sad to say, this is the only one I got!
A juicy, sweet strawberry.


Now, there’s really no forever! I don’t believe in forever anyway….. Walang forever as some say!
These are our harvest. Just kidding :)

I mean their harvest.
Why not ours?
Because……. If you’re the one who will harvest their strawberry crops, you’ll gonna pay a hefty amount of Php 350!
Why so costly considering I’m the one who will pick up those strawberries, they minimize somewhat on the labor cost.
No dear! It is only your way of thinking.
The truth is…….. strawberry picking in La Trinidad, Benguet is costly because you are just a neophyte, no knowledge on how to pick strawberries properly and you may damage their plots and crops. Costly because that Php 350 covers all!
Since we are practical tourists, we asked those stall owners if we could make pictures of picking strawberries and taste some of it. A two or three is not bad.
To do so, all you need is a good and competitive negotiating power that after taking some pictures, you will buy some of their strawberry products.

Presto! We have our strawberry picking souvenirs!
And we only pay Php 240 for the 2 kilos of strawberries. (Php 120/kilos when we went there).
Isn’t that is so economical and practical?
Don’t forget to have a free taste of their wine strawberries.
I had 2 shots!

Remember this road?

Yes, it is where Agnes throws cabbage to Xander when he attempted to run.
How I missed the pair!
There was this time I really missed Xander and the whole cast of “Forevermore” and once again, I watched the whole 150 episodes here: http://tfc.tv/
And as always, I was once again get thrilled, pissed off to Cate and get in love to Xander and Agnes for this 7 days free trial.
Goodbye Forevermore.
Walang forever! No forever indeed…….!

Anyways, here’s how to get in the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad, Benguet, Baguio.

Take jeepney route via La Trinidad, Camp Dangwa, Buyagan, Tublay and Cruz.
Estimated walk from the main road is I think 20 meters away.
You can take a taxi I you want a city tour for Php 300/hour.
You can contact this driver who assisted us to make this tour possible:
Bobot Lorenzana
Contact Numbers: 09183264453/09219123474

Getting a city tour taxi is not advisable for me because of the traffic in the area.
I think in Km 3, La Trinidad? I’m not so sure here.

We paid Php 550 for our city tour from Lefern Hotel to La Trinidad.

We reached only two tourist spot in Baguio: Bell Church and Strawberry Farm.

Bakasyunan Resort in Tanay, Rizal

One of the finest resort in Rizal for people who have active lifestyles!

This bakasyunan resort is not too far from Metro Manila.
I think, it is 2 hours journey only from the van terminal in Star Mall, Shaw Boulevard, Edsa and an hour or so if you have car.
I don’t know how much is the entrance fee here for we only booked ourselves for an overnight stay accommodation for Php 2,000 for 2.
We have room price list in our page in facebook as well as some pictures in:
https://www.facebook.com/DifferentPlacestoExplore
“Bakasyunan Resort brings you close to nature with its breathtaking surroundings that gives you a great view of the mountains and lets you breathe in fresh, cool and clean air.”
Yes, this is very true and once you’re there, you won’t wish anymore to go back to your place again! Lol!
You will surely enjoy here.
Everything you will need in life is all here.
Sorry that I was too exaggerated for I really love the place.
What’s in here?
So many!
Like zipline, wall climbing, rappelling, billiard, table tennis, dart, freedom wall just in case you’re angry to your neighbour or you hated them much, you can throw a manmade shit here.

That so cooooool especially if you are jealous too, shout it out and throw something there.
Going back, there’s also maze.
To those who love driving and tired of walking, the ATV big is for you.

There’s horseback riding too and airsoft.
And for those peg is singing, don’t worry, there’s videoke.
What else you can ask for on this Bakasyunan Resort?
No more I guess!
Why bakasyunan?
I think because instead of cottages, it’s their individual houses you will occupy. All are air-conditioned.

During our overnight stay here, the place is so peaceful and you’ll going to have a nice sleep.
No need to worry about foods, there’s restaurant there.

If you have a good taste for food, don’t expect too much on the taste, its average only.
That’s my own rate only. Sorry. I know to others, we have different taste buds.
Anyway, you can bring your own food there but subject to corkage fee.
Their restaurant:

By the way, from Star Mall, Shaw Boulevard, Edsa, van fare is Php 70/pax.
From Tanay terminal, jeep fare is Php 28/pax going to Bakasyunan Resort which is along the highway only.
Simply ask the jeepney driver to drop you in Bakasyunan Resort.
If you will ride in a tricycle, the fare ranges from Php 30 – 50/pax.
If you have good negotiating power about the fare, Php 30 is enough and this is both fair for you and the driver. (We pay 30 pesos only). See you soon again in our next adventure.
Have a nice summer vacation everyone.
Take care!
