Parola De LABUAN Do's and Don't (Zamboanga City)


I tried to go up but then my fear of height creeps in like I want to throw up as I am going up. So that's the best shot I can offer you but its a great place and its getting crowded already. On our way back I saw people bringing their babies and some are wearing scrub suits and casual wear after the rain and Hell, its slippery. So wear whatever you please.

How to Go To Parola De Labuan

From Integrated Bus Terminal:

1. Ride any jeep going town proper

2. You can ask people around where is the Labuan Terminal or

3. From Town Proper go to OK Bazaar Department Store then walk your way to City Radio beside it, the terminal.

4. EASIEST: Ask the people around.

FARE as of November 2, 2016 is 40 pesos per way.

Note: Present your student ID to the checker to avail discount not when the bus is already away from the terminal.

From Town Proper

1. Just follow step 2 to 4

AT LABUAN

Alight at the BIEL TERMINAL and you can ride a habal habal going to the PAROLA. I am not sure how much the fare.

REMEMBER


1. Entrance fee 5pesos prior to going to the Parola. Its private property.

2. At Parola pay 10 pesos for maintenance.

3. LABUAN is a safe place and they are already used to people coming but best to go to the POLICE first and registered.

4. WEAR APPROPRIATE Hiking attire. BEST to go there during DRY SEASON. The trail can be slippery during rainy season. My sister and nephew fell along the trail.

5. Its bit stiff going to PAROLA as of this writing but the care taker said they are already planning to put stairs.

6. Snacks are available.

The famous Parola de Labuan and the Bridge of Limpapa Zamboanga City

Have you seen the post circulating around social media in Zamboanga city? The white  Parola (lighthouse) and the ever famous bridge of Limpapa circulating around Facebook lately --ofcourse you have. Halos lahat ng friends ko sa FB me iconic post sa infamous landscape that is located in the west costal area, the last barangay of Zamboanga City.

   



What's with all the hype and where did it all start? I have no clue but for sure, am going there to experience Labuan and its bounty.

My God gives us good weather this coming Sunday, October 30, 2016. It will be the first ever (as far as I Know) guided tour that we have coordinated with the local police and the locals in support for promoting its famous landmark and beauties.

The Plan is we will be visiting new potential tourist attraction around Latap, Masalag, and of course the 2 famous sites.

Will Update this blog ASAP!!!!
