It was during our visit to DDD Habitat in Lorega, Kitaotao, Bukidnon that we got to visit this coffee shop in the middle of nowhere.

After we tried going around the places near Kitaotao we request our habal-habal driver to drop us off in Seagull Coffee Shop and we’ll just walk going back to DDD Habitat.

When we got there we immediately looked for a coffee that we could order and some food to go with it. I ordered for a Hot Peppermint Coffee (131 Pesos), Special Suman with Tsokolate (65 Pesos) and since I was in a mood to eat something a bit salty on bread I also ordered a Clubhouse Sandwich (95 Pesos).

This is Part 2 of my experience in DDD Habitat Inc. at Lorega, Kitaotao, Bukidnon. If you haven’t read the first part, you can visit it here.

Going around Lorega

Since we had May 31 exclusively for resting and chatting to each other, we’ve decided that our second day (June 1, 2014) would be dedicated to go around. Unfortunately, after asking a lot of people on what to do in Lorega, we’ve managed to know about 2 things to do in Lorega. Visit the Welcome Davao Eagle and go swimming in Seagull Resort.

The day ahead we’ve been talking to people and have been asking them if there’s a habal-habal that we could rent. Unfortunately, they didn’t give us a concrete answer on who will be taking us around, so we contacted Kuya Nori (the one who’s taking care of us at DDD Habitat) to find us one and he was the only one who gave us a concrete answer to our question and at 1:33 PM of June 1 we were able to start out tour around Lorega and those near it.

1:33 PM We talked to Kuya Buboy (habal-habal driver) and told him to take us around. We asked for the price unfortunately, it was his first time to tour around tourists in the area so to make the long story short, we decided to agree on the price after the tour.

This is the first part of my 2 part write-up about DDD Habitat Inc. Please wait for the second part as I’m still writing it.

The goal of this travel was to escape from the stress of work and social responsibilities and to simply relax and just get disconnected. And DDD Habitat Inc. in Lorega, Kitaotao, Bukidnon, the coolness of the place and being close to nature was just the ambience on our trip last May 30-June 2, 2014.

So after 17 hours and 35 minutes of travel from Iligan City to Cagayan de Oro City (where we had to stop for the night) then to Lorega we were finally there at 9:02 AM. This part of our travel will be discussed in detail on another post.

Note: On this post when the word ‘quarantine’ is used, it means a bus stop where vehicles are checked to prevent the spread of diseases on livestocks. So please do not panic when you read that we are in a quarantine area. We were not detained. We were happily relaxing there. 🙂

The Short Walk to DDD Habitat

We were supposed to arrive at Lorega Quarantine at around 1:00 AM of May 31, 2014 but decided to stay a night at Cagayan de Oro due to strong rains and tiredness. The real reason why we did not continue is that we do not know how to get from Lorega Quarantine to DDD Habitat. Do we have to ride a habal-habal or should we walk? For how long? What if it was raining… hard?

The truth was we weren’t really well researched around the place.

Lorega Quarantine. All Rural Transit Buses stops here to drop off and pick up passengers, and to give them time to discharge bodily fluids.

When we got to Lorega Quarantine, we met Kuya Nori (the caretaker) at one of the stores there. He was friendly and we were glad that it was him that we were meeting with. We asked where DDD Habitat was and he just pointed somewhere at the back of the store and he said that it was just a short walk. And after a quick picture taking of the Lorega Quarantine and a short pit stop at the Comfort Room (CR) for 3 Pesos/person we were all set to go.
