OBONG SPRING
The Obong Spring is a fresh water spring which emanates near the beach. Because of steady outpour of water, a pool of freshwater meets the sea especially when the tide is high and the water become brackish. So, that’s the explanation behind such mystery.
The spring is located in Dalaguete, Cebu. From Cebu City, you still have to pass scenic towns that is worthy of visit like Argao, Carcar, San Fernando, Naga, Minglanilla and Talisay. Obong Spring rests in the southernmost or the last barangay before reaching Alcoy. Obong Spring signboard can be seen before the sign, Alcoy Ahead.
The spring is in the humble municipality of Dalaguete, where Dalakit trees are found. One local legend narrates how the town got its name. Accordingly, Spaniard soldiers passed the place where a woman took her bath. The visitors asked the name of the place. The woman got the wrong idea, thinking they were asking the name of the tree where Spaniards were standing, she answered “Dalakit” and eventually recorded as “Dalaguete.
Amazing enough, the big and almost a century-old dalakit tree is still remained standing near the Obong Spring. Other small springs gush forth from other dalakit trees. Its waters are naturally cold and refreshing. It is one of the best getaways during summer where the heat of the sun is excruciating.
The locals named the place as “Tubigan”. Unlike other resorts where the spring waters are accumulated and turned into a pool, this one is a natural pool. Dressing rooms are erected and lifeguards are on strict vigilance. Cottages are also available.
Dakung Bato
The most anticipated date of our team, September 11, 2012 was the last team building for this year. We booked a room in Dakong Bato at Dalaguete, Cebu months before the event. We had tight budget so we had lists of our expenses. After our night shift duty, we traveled approximately 2 hours from Cebu City to Dakong Bato via Aircon Bus for P105. We went to the reception area upon arrival to settle the payments. Room for 8 occupancy is P4,500 and additional P250 per person for exceeding the specified occupancy. You might think that the charges were unbelievably high, I had a second thought after knowing the charges. Once you’re in the resort, you’ll forget the cost. It felt like you own a private resort with an amazing ambiance. I’ll explain this further with Pictures of place.
Actually, there were 4 Double Deck Beds and 2 master bed but since we were too many, we had to pay extra for the others to be accommodated. The rest of us slept in the second floor. The room is equip of Air-conditioner, ceiling fan, bath room with hot and cold shower, telephone and Television set.
Right after our arrival, everyone went swimming. We were the only guest that time so it feels like we own the whole resort. We did so many slides and exhibitions since most of us were frustrated gymnast. The depth of the pool is 5 feet. So, for those frustrated swimmers like ME, you don’t have to worry.
How to get there:
Get a bus from South Bus Terminal going to Dalaguete. Bus is available every 15 minutes.TIPS:
If you’re planning to go there, make sure you have enough money because it’s not affordable there. They also offer day use of swimming pool and beach for P100 entrance fee.
