I’m so excited to be able to share this news with you! As a biologist, I’m thrilled that the Philippines finally has its own oceanarium.
The state-of-the-art Manila Ocean Park had its soft opening last week, on February 29. It’s gorgeous and truly world-class! Let’s take a tour, via Mel & Joey:

Here’s another sneak peak of Manila Ocean Park as reported by Mel Tiangco of Mel and Joey.

The oceanarium is just the first phase of construction which will eventually include a hotel and mall, and open marine habitats. Already, it has the following sections open to visitors:
1. Agos (Flow) - a rainforest motiff complete with 8 tanks of freshwater fishes.
2. Bahura (The Reef) - exihibition of artificial corals in 48 tanks
3. Laot (Fishing Ground) - features big fish and Eagle-spotted rays in a long tank.
4. Kalaliman (The Deep) - showcases marine animals found in the deepest parts of Philippine waters.
5. Buhay na Karagatan (Living Ocean) - the main attraction of the oceanarium is a 25-meter long walkway tunnel with 220-degree curved acrylic walls similarly seen in Ocean Park Hong Kong, Singapore’s Underwater World in Sentosa, Siam’s Ocean World in Bangkok, Thailand and Kuala Lumpur’s Aquaria in Malaysia. The difference between MOP’s is a 220-degree curved tunnel as compared to the standard 180-degree curved tunnels seen in other Asian countries.
6. Overhang Tank - variety of rays fly over while you’re under this unique Overhang Tank.
7. Pating (Shark) - features several species of shark.
Let’s finish the tour with this second segment from Mel & Joey:
Isn’t it great!!? This is a definite must-see in Manila! The Manila Ocean Park is located behind the Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park (Luneta).
Check out this information page for entrance fees, operating hours and phone numbers to the Park.

I feel blessed for everything that I had, I am having and will be having and all the things I have been through for the past years, be it happy or bad times, I am still grateful for I have successfully surpassed all the challenges/trials in life.
I am now ready to embark another year of life and that made me feel excited. But I must admit that despite the happiness I feel at the moment, there is this promise I have made years before that when I reached the age of 25...hmmmm....oh well, I'm only 23 so I still have 2 years to achieve that greatest dream in life. (I crossed my fingers to that thought) Wish me luck, guys!
Time check: 2:03 p.m. - I am supposed to celebrate my birthday, alright. But I have to finish tons of workloads (backlogs, darn!). This is also my supposed to be rest day but I just can't rest. The company compelled us to work tomorrow instead of Saturday, next week arrrggghhhh! So I have to finish everything before tomorrow, or else, oh my! it's my birthday so I shouldn't be thinking of any depressing thoughts for now...
I have to rush myself and get through with these keywords so that later this afternoon, it's a celebration, horayyy!!! hahaha! It's not gonna be a bongacious one. I'll be out with my Prince Bendyk and with his dad of course, hehehe!
And tomorrow...
I guess, it'll be a real party lolz! My friends at the office keep bragging about having a birthday party in our cubicle. And it's a good idea, how's that?! (wink!) Alright, wish will be granted if that'll make me happy and my friends as well.
I better start now...gotta go, friends!
