Day 3 of our Kalilangan 2010 experience began with a magnificent early lunch at Mt. Sabrina in Tambler Hills, GenSan.

I have very simple tastes when it comes to accommodations. Each time I have to stay in a hotel, my requirements are simple: I want an affordable and clean room with an equally clean toilet and bath — that’s it.
