"At Enchanted Kingdom, they firmly believe that their real mission is to share God’s happiness and build God’s EK- Eternal Kingdom. EK is where families bond together, students and teachers learn and enjoy at the same time and companies foster camaraderie as they conduct their team buildings and outings. 

They provide the venue not only for entertainment but edu-tainment,
retail-tainment, IT-tainment and  evangeli-tainment as well.  Dreams come true at Enchanted Kingdom, which their guests label the "Disneyland of the Philippines". Lifetime memories, families’ shared experiences begin in Enchanted Kingdom.
  
As the magic comes from deep within a child’s heart, they hope that  EK’s magic will stay with you and live on forever.  As their theme song goes "everyday, everyday the Magic is here" so we thank God, Almighty for every  magic, every miracle that happens in our lives.

So come on over and experience the magic of Enchanted Kingdom at Sta Rosa, Laguna, Philippines. The magic will stay with you forever!"


This is my family's history at Enchanted Kingdom.
Truly as the magic comes from deep within a child’s heart, the Enchanted Kingdom's magic will stay and live on forever.

Calauan Laguna, Isdaan


 Isdaan sa Calauan (Floating Themed Park Resto)
    Calauan, Laguna
    Direction: From Manila, SLEX exit to Calamba. Go straight to Los Banos. from Los Banos there's a crossing for Calauan town proper,Sta Cruz and Bay, Laguna. Go straight to Sta Cruz way instead, then on the right side will be the Isdaan just 1 Km away from the crossing. Barangay Bangyas is the first Barangay at Calauan, Laguna that way.


The newly opened restaurant gives work to the population of 70,000. Brgy. Hanggan main means of living is gardening, one from the 17 Barangays of this 3rd class municipality. The business gives work and could help the community to be known in the whole Philippines as the biggest Floating Restaurant in Laguna.  -empoweredgrace.blogspot


First in Laguna and located at Barangay Hanggan, Calauan is the newly opened “Isdaan” Floating Resto- Fun Park. A sister company of Barrio Fiesta and owned by the Ongpauco’s.

Lot’s of attraction in this 3 hectares place at “Isdaan”

Gigantic statues of Monkeys, Crocodiles, Fishes and Mermaids are all around






The floating Nipa huts are everywhere catering from 10 people to 30 each. For more like an outdoor dine in, there’s that biggest Monkey and lot’s of Coi area for you.

Affordable prices of Filipino cuisine and nice ambiance are the catch if one will drop by here,
with singing cooks and waiters serenading you.



The “Tacsiapo” is where one could release his anger with the minimum purchase of 25 pesos, you could remove your anger by throwing the plate to the wall.


The area is like a themed park, from angry birds to US president Obama and wife

Solo, Mabini, Batangas

Solo, Mabini, Batangas Anilao is popular with divers and snorkelers. The waters surrounding the area are teeming with marine life, plenty of corals and amazing diversity of fishes.



The northwest shore of the Calumpang Peninsula, from Anilao to Bagalangit, is lined with local resorts that cater primarily to local tourists. Although the beach at Anilao is not recommended for swimming, thatched bamboo rafts, rustic cabins and picnic cabanas are available for rental at local resorts. From these resorts, you can also rent a boat for island hopping and visit the diving spots, coves, and islands like the Sombrero and Maricaban islands. With its niche popularity among divers, Anilao is no longer as difficult for visitors to get to as in the past. It is accessible by sea or land. From Manila, one can typically get to Anilao by taking a bus bound for Batangas City (Buendia terminal) and asking the conductor for drop off at the Mabini/Bauan jeepney terminal. By request, a Mabini jeepney driver will then take passengers to the Mabini dock area. From the Mabini docks, visitors can hire a driver to any one of the resorts. The beauty that this place is known for lies not above the water, but underwater. When you visit this place for the first time and plan to go swimming, at least bring a dive mask or rent one. You would be glad you did. It would also be important to note that this place called Anilao, which has been known to be a world class dive destination, is actually just a barangay of Mabini town of Batangas. The dives sites and resorts are actually scattered all over the several barangays of Mabini (Solo, Bagalangit, San Tedoro, etc) and across to the island of Maricaban. Anilao is the name that caught up in the divng community because, years ago, Anilao was the only jump-off point to the dive sites. -wikipedia, waypoint narrative King Solomon Dive Resort

San Jose, Anilao, Mabini Batangas

Anilao, Mabini Batangas 
Mabini is a 1st class municipality in the Province of Batangas, Philippines. It is located on the Calumpang Peninisula between Batangas Bay to the east and Balayan Bay to the west. It is named after Apolinario Mabini, a Filipino revolutionary hero. Anilao is popular with budget divers and snorkelers. There are several diving centers where trips can be arranged to diving spots in Balayan Bay near Cape Bagalangit and near Sombrero and Maricaban Islands. Although the beach at Anilao is not recommended for swimming, thatched bamboo rafts can be rented with tables and benches at the Anilao Beach Resort and other resorts. BISA BAYSIDE





One of the very few beach like along Mabini. This place is not that impressive so I won’t recommend it unless you have a really tight budget and do not intend to stay overnight nor rent rooms. Though, It's still nice to just sit, relax, sip a cup of coffee and watch the sunset.
