To see your history book come alive is a magical feeling especially if you’ve fallen in love with the place at first sight. Such is the case with my trip to Dapitan City in Zamboanga del Norte, one of the special places in the country that will pass as a candidate for the best destinations to retire to. While most cities are shrouded by soaring commercial buildings, gigantic factories and shopping malls, Dapitan remains raw, calm and very inviting despite the attention it is getting. This unruffled city is draped by mountains cloaked in thick green wilderness, rugged coastlines and historical attractions.
