For former ABS-CBN actress Sandara Park, now known as Dara of the popular Korean girl group 2NE1, it is more fun in the Philippines.

Dara, along with group-mates – CL, Bom and Minzy – arrived in the country Feb. 1 for a brief vacation, Push.com.ph. reported.

Through the online picture journal me2day, the singer posted on her page, Feb. 1, a photo of herself riding a motorcycle (a red bike like that of an arcade game) and calls herself “Rider Dara.�

“Hey! Get on! Rider Dara, enjoying a good time in Manila with the members! Getting to Manila from Seoul takes about 3 hours; although it isn’t too far, it’s a place I miss and the distance is too far to come visit often. The girls are taking lots of pictures for me… I may reveal them soon,� Dara wrote.

2NE1 performed before Filipino fans a year ago. Although pure Korean, the former “Star Circle Quest� finalist and “Pambansang Krung-Krung� considers the Philippines her second home.

Posts from Twitter revealed that the Korean girls, known for their hits “Fire,� “Lollipop,� “I Don’t Care� among others, are in Legaspi, Albay.

After their vacation in the Philippines, Dara and the gang head for Japan for promotional activities, added the same Push.com.ph report.
