This is our 2nd trip to Cebu in the Philippines for 7 days from October 30 - November 5, 2007. Four years ago, we went there to attend the wedding of our house assistant, Elvy who has worked with us for over 15 years. This year we flew with her to Tacloban to attend her 3 years old daughter birthday and to see both her parents here and the father of her husband in Matalom - the native birthplace of both of them respectively. We were at 5 different beaches, 2 in Tacloban, 2 in Matalom and 1 in Cebu. We sunbathed and  swam in the  extremely clear water in all these beaches. Cheers
