National Museum of the Philippines in Butuan City

Oh yeah, there is one in Butuan City, and when I was there was the only time I've heard about it too. I was actually excited to travel to Butuan because I got fascinated by hearing people say good things about the place, however, my excitement seemed to fade judging by the 10 hours of ride that took place in reaching the location. Overwhelmed at the ride, I was too tired to even appreciate the location on our way there. We haven't had the chance to roam around the city in the 3 training days that we were there but I was able to go with our driver to fetch my boss in Buenavista, Agusan del Norte on the first morning so I had to say a glimpse on the streets of Butuan was okay. Streets are clean, not a lot of traffic, and there are industrial places seemingly evolving in the place, making it a little commercialized.  But I didn't know there was a museum then, until our last day when we had the chance to really go about Butuan City.

Trapped in Butuan City!

No, I wasn't trapped in the whole wide Butuan City, but only in Almont Inland Hotel where we were hosted for a 5-day training on Basic Employment Services. It was the first morning in Butuan and after we returned back to our room for freshening up, I went to the bath, and after I attempted to go out that I realized I was trapped. The doorknob wouldn't turn and even if I have tried every turning, it wouldn't budge a thing. Good thing that my roommates were still in the room and heard my effort of trying to get the knob to turn that they called for the maintenance of the hotel. I can see from the inside that the hinges are also firmly locked that I could not remove them easily, and the best way they could open me free is to destroy the lock of the knob from the outside. It was a 20 minute hysteria for me, not because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get out because I believe my friends could get me out of there before...
