Father the Explorer

Welcome to my blog fellow explorers!  I love exploring new places  as I do my ministry in promoting vocations to religious life and in giving retreats anywhere in the country. Sometimes I would like to believe that my second vocation, next to priesthood, is to explore the awesome beauty of the world. Yes, I am a priest. Call me Father the Explorer. 

While many people see priests as people living inside the confines of seminaries and parishes, some priests are tasked to go out to recruit new seminary aspirants. We call ourselves vocation promoters or directors (or direcTOURS)! Journey with me, and as you explore these places yourselves one day, I pray you will be able to explore the vocation what God calls you to be.

So is your backpack ready? The map? Let's go! Vamonos!

One of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Philippines, Batad Rice Terraces can be reached 30-40 minutes by a private/public ride from Banaue, and an exciting 30 minutes combination of uphill and downhill trek.
