Uragay Spring in Brgy. Corte, Carmen

Uragay Mountain Spring Resort is located in Barangay Corte, Carmen, Cebu. It is one of the places of interest in Carmen. The water is very fresh which made this Mountain Spring a good place for summer.

Municipality of Carmen is 40 kilometers from Cebu City. Accessible by riding buses. Brgy. Corte is bukid-bukid so you need to hike or ride habal-habal in order to reach Uragay Spring.

Ooops!... don't forget your entrance fee Php 30.00 and parking fee Php 15.00.

Carmen Town Plaza at Night near Christmas

First week of December the town of Carmen, Cebu started decorating their plaza.

Many people usually gather every Friday, Saturday and Sunday together with their families, love ones and friends. Carmen plaza is also a good place in meeting text mates, textmates, txtmates and txtm8s (hehe). Before, I don't know now because I seldom go there, there was a free disco located in the center of the plaza every Saturday night. It's for all and it's free. Curfew for youths aging 18 years old below will be at 9:00pm. Well you can beg the officer to extend up to 10:00pm especially if there are special occasions. Safer and more secured than the previous years! There are policemen standing beside the corner of the dance area. Patrol car roving around.

And ohh! when I take these pictures someone came to me, very hospitable... i think an employee assigned to entertain the viewers of the plaza... she talks to me and ask some questions... then I got shy so I went away from her... hehe... sorry maam.

Carmen Town Plaza in the Morning

This is Carmen Town Plaza in the early morning!

This was taken about 2008 December 8, 9:00am in the morning. It's very cloudy and about to rain. Carmen Town plaza still shows its beauty. Many people usually gather every Friday, Saturday and Sunday together with their families, love ones and friends. Carmen plaza is also a good place in meeting text mates, textmates, txtmates and txtm8s (hehe). Before, I don't know now, because I seldom go there, there was a free disco located in the center of the plaza every saturday night. It's for all and it's free. Curfew for youths aging 18 years old below will be at 9:00pm. Well you can beg the officer to extend up to 10:00pm especially if there are special occasions. Safer and more secured than the previous years! There are policemen standing beside the corner of the dance area. Patrol car roving around. However, be careful dating, urinating, walking or even sitting in the dark places especially where you are far away from many people. There are reports (although few) of robberies in the area.

Carmen Town plaza is well maintained. Plants are sprinkled every morning. Clean and Green.
