Me and my friends planned a night swimming and a day tour in Boso-Boso, Antipolo City. We heard that the resort there named, Boso-Boso Highlands Resort and Convention Center is good so we set the date and finalized what we needed to bring.
We leave in Cainta, Rizal at exactly 6pm. Since we do not know how to get there because it's too far, we rode a jeep from Cainta to Sta.Lucia East Grand Mall thinking that we should take another jeep there signed "Paenaan". But all Paenaan jeeps are all full! Some strangers suggested that we should rode to Cogeo and from there we can rode to Paenaan but we cannot get one since we are many. My friend's boyfriend suggested that we should go to Marikina Market because there's a Paenaan terminal there, so we rode to Marikina Market in front of Sta.Lucia. In Marikina, there's no more Paenaan so we rode in Cogeo jeep but it takes us a lot of time to get in Cogeo because we have to fal in line first before we can rode, we need to do that cause Cogeo jeeps are very few.
Fare Guide:
Cainta - Sta.Lucia 12php
Sta.Lucia - Marikina 8.50php
Marikina - Cogeo 23-25php
Cogeo - Boso-Boso 20php
We arrived at Cogeo 8:30pm. From there, we rode jeep signed "Paenaan" and asked the driver to drop us to the Boso-Boso Highlands Resort and Convention Center. 9pm when we get there. We didn't enjoy much of the view since it's evening but many people said the sight there is breathtaking.
Resort Rates:
Be aware of the corkage fees:
I can say that Boso-Boso Resort is really good especially if you want a bond with your friends. There's very few people who visited. Maybe because it's far from the city. The cottages, services and pools are all good especially the slide! Whoa! That slide is just awesome! Truly a long ride for slide. The ambiance is so natural of nature. Recommended for camping's and team buildings. But for the restrooms, it's clean but it does not looked as it is.

We left the resort at exactly 7:30am because we had our picture taking for an hour. Outside, an empty jeep is waiting for passengers going to Cogeo but we thrifted him to rode us to the famous Boso-Boso Church and he accepted our offer so we rode a jeep from the resort to the church. But the normal way is to ride a jeep and ask to drop to the terminal of tricycles to the church, then ride a tricycle.
Arriving at the church feels like home. It felt like its my province long time ago and it feels it's good to be back. The little town where the church belong is a very simple. They like people who don't know the technology and modernization of the city. No wonder the church is preserved as it is. Some people appreciate beautiful churches but others like me appreciate churches more when the history of it still preserves, no matter how old it may look. It felt like i belong to its history and i feel the contentment.

| Inside Boso-Boso Church is not with so long aisle but with a great altar. You can still smell the old bricks and woods used to construct the church but you will observe the cleanliness inside. |

After we pray and appreciate the holiness of the church, we got to bought some breads and biscuits to eat before going home and still we got the jeep earlier to service us to Cogeo. Isn't it great? :)
