What beckons on the other side of Mayon?
It begins soon as one lands on Albay Airport and gets a glimpse of Mayon Volcano, which keeps watch like a minaret on the long and winding road to Misibis Bay. The peak momentarily fades into an undulating terrain and gradually pans out to an estate perched on some desert island, acquainting one to Albay’s other wonder. Misibis Bay Resort conjures up at once a rewarding sense of discovery. The elaborate house of cards is a stark contrast to its rustic environs, the only extravagance in this side of the planet that, had not been for it, wouldn’t have ever existed. Luxury home décor from big brands like Dior and Hermès deck the horizontal resort’s high-ceiling grand lobby and the rooms that come alive either with the view of the garden, the pool or the sunset over the water. Misibis Bay Resort is quickly becoming a popular luxury wedding destination. Standing on a hilltop draped with the postcard-perfect Albay Gulf and Mayon Volcano is the Stella Maris Chapel, witness to many “I dos.” The resort has created several wedding packages for every requirement. Soon to rise within the resort is a new all-glass chapel. Misibis Bay’s all-day dining outlet Spice Market is where Asian dishes become elevated, accented with native and locally’griwn ingredients from Bicol. One can laze on in sweet life with a drink or three at Sula Bar. Satisfy your lust for adventure with a list that will keep your sea legs busy throughout the day including windsurfing and kayaking, as well as snorkeling for those who want to commune with giant clams. A jet ski package gives guests a chance to drive the limited-edition 1800cc Yamaha WaveRunner (only five units were released in the country in March. Two are in Misibis Bay), equipped with speakers on full blast. Cap the thrilling day in a sanctuary for unwinding and recreation. The Essenses Spa combines massage techniques with the ancient Filipino traditional art of healing, hilot, kneading your muscles with a first-class line of oils from Europe until you doze off in luxury.

Bagunas begins building dream house for parents
Bryan Bagunas is planning something big for his hard-earned money. While his peers are occupied with their business ventures with the resumption of volleyball events still up in the air because of the health crisis, the national team stalwart is busy with his own project. “As of now wala pa akong binabalak na negosyo kasi magpapatayo ako ng bahay ng parents ko,” Bagunas told ABS-CBN Sports. The former UAAP Most Valuable Player saved some of his earnings as an import for Oita Miyoshi Weiss Adler in the Japan V. Premier League to buy a lot and eventually build a house for his parents in Batangas. “Kakabili ko lang ng lot dun then papatatyuan ko naman sila ng bahay. Yun muna ang unahin ko as of now,” said the 2019 Southeast Asian Games silver medalist and two-time UAAP champion. The pride of Balayan, Batangas bought a 430 sq. meter property where he plans to construct his parents’ house. As of now his parents are still planning on the design and size of the house. “Depende pa sa kanila kung anong gusto nilang design. Sila na mamili para naman sa kanila ‘yun. Ireregalo ko sa kanila,” said Bagunas. He added that once the house design is settled, they can then proceed with the construction. “Hindi pa nasisimulan bale pinag-aaralan pa lang ng tatay ko. Kasi ang tatay ko marunong ding gumawa ng bahay,” said Bagunas. Bagunas is set to fly back to Japan in September to resume training with the Weiss Adler. On Wednesday, Bagunas signed with Spikers’ Turf club team Go for Gold. He cleared that the there’s no conflict of schedule with his league commitments here and in Japan. .....»»
