<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Most of the tourists goes to Dalaguete to climb the popular and picturesque Osmena Peak. However, unknown to many, the place has also caves waiting to be visited. One of these is the <b>Dingayop Cave</b> in Brgy. Obo, also known as the <b>Eagle's Cave</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> For me, the challenging part was the long walk to the cave. My advice is to wear comfy, non-slip foot wear since the pathway was not paved and in some parts, there were no defined footpaths. We had to hold on to the roots and barks of the trees to prevent from slipping down. Upon nearing the cave, our guide had to tie a rope from one tree to another so we can have something to hold on to since the pathway was really narrow and on the other side was a cliff leading to the waterfalls.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"> Dingayop Cave is really worth it. It is one of the most beautiful caves that I've been into </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">due to its numerous and large stalactites & stalagmites. Most of its rock formations are still intact since it is not yet often visited and exploited. My advice is to go there before it becomes popular and while it is still in its raw beauty, not yet much touched by careless tourists. Just bring with you a lot of air especially in the lengthy walk to and from the cave. Whew!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> P.S. If you want a guide and it is highly suggested that you should get one, contact Erwin Zamora at 09486468129. In our case, we paid him and his other companion a total of 600 pesos for guiding the three of us. But if there are more members in your group, it is greatly advised that you pay them higher than that because assisting a bigger group is no easy task. We personally experienced the exhaustive walking to and from the caves which is really quite a distance. Some parts are really steep and slippery and our guides have to tie ropes around the trees so we can have something to hold on to and to hoist ourselves up the slope. Plus the cave was not yet developed by the Department of Tourism, so it could really be dangerous inside due to the presence of snakes. In fact, when we went there, our face almost got hit by bats who got surprised by the light from the flashlights.</span></div>

Mosquito Fever<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Just recently, around the 3<sup>rd</sup>
week of November 2016, my dear daughter was diagnosed with Dengue Fever. I
really panicked at that point. Just a week before that, my husband told me that
his officemate’s ten-year old son died from Dengue followed by the latter’s 12-year
old cousin. When we went to the doctor, she told us that she believed this year’s dengue is
so far the worst for the City of Cebu. Many were afflicted with the fever, and more number of
deaths recorded compared to previous years. She even told us that she knew of a 24-year old patient who died.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> We immediately had Willow admitted in the hospital. I am not an emotional person and I don’t get affected easily, but at that point, I couldn’t help but cry. And cried hard, I did. It was so scary. My 5-year old daughter is the sweet, gentle type, and I was thinking that if some older boys (such as the 10-year old and 24-year old) were not able to make it, then how much more a frail, 5-year old girl?</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> After a stressful and scary week,
I really thanked God and my family for all their help throughout Willow’s
recovery. However, it is not yet over. That occurrence compelled me to reflect
and learn from the experience. As parents, we have been negligent. Prior to
Willow’s dengue fever, many kids from our neighborhood had already been
hospitalized due to dengue. Although we ensured that all stagnant waters were
replaced regularly to prevent mosquitoes from breeding there, I now realized
that it wasn’t enough. She may be safe in our home, but this protection did not cover those times when she went out to play with some of our neighbors’
kids. And it’s not like we can keep her trapped in our house forever. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> One can never go wrong in
investing in preventive measures. This is why we have decided to keep a supply

the dangers posed by mosquito bites. Even when at home, I still apply <b>OFF! Lotion</b> on them since some m</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">osquitoes still manage to come inside our house despite various safeguards.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />

no amount of money can top that. ^_^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The foremost I can say about Club Fort Med is that it gave me a good impression which didn't quite last. Upon entering the place, it was quite picturesque but in my personal experience, not worth it. While we were waiting near the entrance, we had to cover our noses and scrambled for fresh air. There was a pile of garbage dumped on the other side of the road fronting the gates!

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>How to get there:</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Club Fort Med is located in Boljoon, Cebu and is just beside the road. The most practical way of going there that I can think of is to go to the South Bus Terminal and ride a bus heading to Southern Cebu and tell the conductor to drop you at the resort. It's a 3-hour ride and fare is 120 pesos for non-aircon buses and around P128 for the airconditioned ones. However, if you're in a big group, you can also opt to hire a van for a whole day (usually costing 3,000.00 pesos or more) to bring you there and to tour you to other nearby places as well such as the famous whale-shark watching in Oslob, and churches. You can also choose to chase waterfalls near the area. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Many tourists I know visit only Vigan City (capital city of Ilocos Sur) and Laoag City (capital city of Ilocos Norte) during their stay in the Ilocos Region. However, there are so much more in the region to see. For this post, I will be focusing on the more popular places that the northern portion of Ilocos Norte </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(as encircled in the map) </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">has to offer. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="color: purple;">Bantay Abot Cave</b></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.2px;"> Bantay means "hill or mountain", and Abot means "hole". Thus, a mountain with a hole. When we arrived there, the wind was really blowing strong. I guess it was because we are already facing the open sea specifically, the West Philippines Sea. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 20.8px;"> This reminds me of the famous <a href="http://freespiritedvixen.blogspot.com/search/label/white%20Island%2FSandbar" target="_blank"><b>White Island / Sandbar in Camiguin.</b></a> It is also composed of a long stretch of sand which narrows and change shape during high tide. During the time of our visit, it was C-shaped. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 20.8px;"> I'm not really sure if this is name of the island that we went to eat our lunch. But there are several huts in this place in contrast to the other islands that we previously visited. Several tourists are also staying in the island's beach resort. However, I didn't find its beach attractive for swimming because there were lots of stones and the wind at that time was really blowing strong. </span></div>

And only after the climb downwards did we get the "halfway" part. We had to cover quite a distance from the cave's exit towards the foot of the mountain. There were several steep parts, we had to go down a number of huge pointed rocks, and pass thru a narrow cave-like passage.</div>

As such, we had to ride a much smaller boat to send us to the shore. We can't help but notice the piles of shells along the beach and on top are groups of townsfolk collecting the flesh from the scallops, clams, wasi-wasi, and other kinds of mollusks. What a waste of shells! Hopefully, someone could think of exporting them to other provinces and even countries to be used as decorations and others handicrafts .</span></span><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 25.2px;"> Due to the structures by the beach, the shoreline area is now much narrower. However, one can just go to the farther end of the beach to enjoy wider shorelines and whiter sand. There are also other great places for swimming on the other sides of the island. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 25.2px;"> </span></div>

However, most of the corals were destroyed due to the notorious Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda which struck in 2013, which also claimed thousands of lives and brought destruction to everything in its path. According to the folks, it would take more than 10 years to partially recover and rejuvenate these corals.</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mactan-Cebu Airport is the international and national gateway to Cebu island. It is the second-busiest airport in the Philippines, there are many domestic and international destinations served. Cebu is approximately 150km south of Malapascua.</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are 2 bus companies, Ceres and Rough Riders, that run to/from Maya (the port at the very north of Cebu Island where you will catch the ferry to Malapascua) from the North Bus Terminal in Cebu (located in Mandaue, approximately 7kms from the airport). The journey takes 3.5-5 hours, and buses run every 30minutes. There are many stops along the way to pick up locals often travelling very short distances. Video and a/c 190PHP, non a/c 163PHP. Some buses will even have wifi. Ceres Tours AC buses at 7am, 9am and 11am. Vans are faster, cost 180PHP. But usually they leave only when fully loaded and if not packed to the top, they make circles through suburbs picking additional passengers- so expect rather pressed journey. If time is short or you just don't want the hassle of the buses, it is possible to hire a taxi or private car from Cebu to Maya, as well as arrange a pick-up with one of the resorts. Price for private car transfer from Cebu/Airport/Hotel to Maya, about 2500PHP one way.</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are two boats that leave <a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Masbate" style="background: none; text-decoration: none;" title="Masbate">Masbate</a> Island daily at 12pm (February 2014) bound for Polambato Port just north of Bogo, a town approximately 40km south of Maya. Montenegro Lines leave Cataingan on the west of Masbate, while Super Shuttle Ferry leaves from Cawayan on the east. Both ports are approximately 1.5hours from Masbate city. The ferry crossings take approximately 6hours. Fare is 365PHP from Cataingan, 380PHP (economy) from Cawayan. From Polambato port take a habal-habal (25PHP) or tricycle to the highway and flag down any of the many northbound buses from Cebu (40PHP, 1hour to Maya). Masbate Island can be reached by ferry to Masbate City from Pilar, twenty minutes from <a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Donsol" style="background: none; text-decoration: none;" title="Donsol">Donsol</a> on <a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Luzon" style="background: none; text-decoration: none;" title="Luzon">Luzon</a>. It is a good idea to leave Donsol very early in the morning to catch the first boat to Masbate from Pilar, as there isn't much in the way of accommodation or other tourist services at Cawayan or Cataingan. Bear in mind that the last ferry leaves from Maya at 4:30pm, so plan to overnight in Bogo or Maya, unless you want to charter a private boat across to Malapascua.</span></div>

Public boats (bancas) go across roughly hourly between 06:30 until 16:30. It takes about 1/2 hour and a public boat costs <b>100PHP</b> (current as of Feb 2016. use common sense - be sure to agree the price before getting on). Be aware that the ferries don't exactly run to a schedule, they leave when they have enough cargo or people, so aim to arrive earlier rather than later. They may also offer a 'private boat' to you for 1500PHP, telling you there isn't a public boat but this normally isn't the case if you arrive within the public boat operating hours. Be aware you may need smaller transfer boats at low tide which are 20 php per person. If you arrive after the public boat operating hours and would rather not pay the private boat fee then there is very reasonable accommodation at the beginning of the pier (pretty much the only building on the right). Ask for Dilbert/Ninapha or the Monicit Lodging House.</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Crossing can be rather wet in choppy water and bancas have very little shelter from the elements. You may want to bring a rain coat or rain poncho from home, or buy one from a local department store for about 280 php. When arriving/departing from Malapascua shores be prepared to either jump into the shallow waters or walk down a rickety plank.</span></div>

Some may be willing to give you a lift - expect to pay a fee of 10PHP for short ride, and 20-30PHP from south to north. To rent a motorbike for a whole day 1000PHP. Local fishermen can also take you from A to B in their boat. To hire a boat and captain for 4hours is approximately 800PHP.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"Paoay Lake is locally called dakkel danum. What makes Paoay Lake Legendary? It is because of the interesting and enchanting history narrated by forefathers and passed upon to the present , including the other stories or observations that happened in the lake narrated by te residents nearby.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">According to such legendary account, Paoay Lake was formed as a punishment to the early settlers thereat who used to be immensely religious but turned wicked and preoccupied by material things later. Their wicked acts earned the ire of their gods, thus submerged the place , turning it into a body of water, while the people were made into fishes with their fancy adornments, such as jewelries, still attached with them. These stories say that, seated in Paoay Lake’s location was a group of three villages called Gumura, Siduma and Sintapuli. The first two villages were much like those communities, Sodom and Gumorrah, which according to the Holy Bible, were submerged in water as a form of punishment by God to the People who turned wicked.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Other sources suggest that the lake was a result of gigantic geological displacement that hit the Ilocos area in January 1641. A shattering earthquake preceded by loud thunders and lightning, swallowed down the place, then burst back into the sky, thus left a body of water. Later studies theorized that Paoay Lake was formed geologically as a result of formation of the earth’s crust during the Miocene Epoch 2 million years ago.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Paoay Lake is surrounded by the five barangays of Paoay: Suba in the north, Nanguyudan and Pasil in the east, Sungadan in the south, and Nagbacalan in the west. The Paoay Lake Protected Landscape has an area of 386.0 hectares."</span></blockquote>

Technically, the money used for the lavish "gift" was from public funds and thus, was subsequently sequestered by the government after the end of the Marcos dictatorship. Lesson learned is, of course, it's okay to give gifts, just make sure you buy it from your own pocket.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> While in power, the Marcos administration was accused of large scale authoritarian corruption, political repression, nepotism, and human rights violations, and after the assassination of a primary political opponent, Benigno Aquino, Jr., in 1983, public outrage led to the famous People Power Revolution in February 1986. Marcos was forced from power and he fled, seeking exile in Hawaii. - <a href="http://www.philippinetrails.com/malacanang-of-the-north.html" target="_blank"><b>Philippine Trails</b></a></span></div>

One can just imagine how many were kept in her many residences all over the Philippines and abroad. A word was even coined after her, that is "Imeldific" which means ostentatious and extravagant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The Snake Island is called as such because especially during low tides, a snake-like formation of sand appears which connects the island to the mainland. It was high tide though when we went there but the connecting part is still visible since it comprises the shallow part between the islands. We also trekked towards the peak of the hill to have a better view of the magnificent scenery below.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 15.36px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Pinasil Island is much visited because of its Cathedral Cave which is called as such because of its dome like structure resembling that of a cathedral. Although we did not enter the cave, it can actually be accessed by the use of smaller boats. Watch out though for bats and sea snakes which are said to abound the area.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> We paid only Php1,500 (for the van with driver) for a half day tour of Puerto Princesa. Since our group had around 10 members, it only cost Php150 per person. The tour was already inclusive of the ffg places:</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Baywalk in Puerto Princesa is somewhat a cross between the<b><span style="color: magenta;"> Burnham Park in Baguio</span></b> and the <span style="color: magenta;"><b>Baywalk in Roxas Boulevard facing Manila Bay</b></span>. Like the Burnham Park, there are lots of bicycles and pedicabs for rent, and people are allowed to tour around the place using these bikes. And just similar to the Baywalk in Manila Park, both consist of a seaside promenade overlooking a bay.</span></div>

The starting point in going there is to go to the <a href="https://www.google.com.ph/maps/place/South+Bus+Terminal/@10.2979608,123.8934272,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x33a9995628f45193:0x8a4c57adb404bb3a" target="_blank">South Bus Terminal</a> where buses towards Samboan abound. There is at least one trip for every 20 minutes interval. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Samboan is known for it many waterfalls among which are the ffg:</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>1. Aguinid Falls</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> One heck of an experience! Had I known the limestones were that steep and that we had to do many rock climbing without the safety of a rappel, I wouldn't have dared visit this place. We thought it was just another typical waterfall where we only have to trek our way throughout its 5 levels. But no! It was risking life and limb, and as per the guides of that place, yes there had been numerous accidents. Oh golly!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> My advice though is not to come here especially during holy week as the crowd can really stress you out. Aguinid is the most popular waterfall in the place because of its added challenge, a taste of canyoneering, and its accessibility. </span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>2. Binalayan Falls a.k.a. Triple Drop Falls or Hidden Falls</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> This is just near Aguinid Falls and so it's like hitting 2 birds with one stone. It basically derived its name "Triple Drop" from the fact that its waters fall in 3 separate columns or drops. It's not as impactful and as challenging as the other waterfalls but it has its own simple and quaint ambience.</span></div>

Not so deep, just right for swimming. I especially like its cool and clean waters plus the fact that there were just a few people during our visit unlike that of Aguinid Falls. The road leading here has already been developed already it can be quite steep at times. We rode a habal-habal motorcycle </span>in our case.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> This is the last falls that we visited in Samboan since we were already short of time and my companions still had a plane to catch. You can just ask a habal-habal driver to bring you here and this is just near the poblacion area. I guess the reason why it called "Balay'g Sawa" or Nest of Snakes in english is because of the hanging branches and vines which and the thick canopy layer of trees surrounding the area which makes it a really conducive habitat for snakes and who knows what else. </span></div>

Samboan's effort for nature's protection is proven by this marine sanctuary's existence for almost two decades already. You can visit the fish sanctuary or dive for a fee where you can experience the most preserved marine ecosystem where sharks often visit, dolphins play, whales often traverse and all kinds of fish visit the shallowest part of the foreshore unprovoked by man. Aside from Colase, other coastal barangays including San Sebastian (Bato), Dalahikan, Tangbo, Bonbon, Suba and Poblacion offer the same experience generally."</span></span><br />

Its water is brackish. It is unique in the sense that here is where a certain kind of bird - the "manolong" - dives into its salty waters and stays under for a long time in order to escape the hunters. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Tour A includes the ffg spots:</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Warning: El Nido is so much more than what you see in the photos. So yeah, a picture paints a thousand words but it will never do justice to the actual feeling of seeing the actual El Nido scenery with its natural ambiance and picturesque scenery. I may not have a 20-20 vision, but I'm sure thankful for not being blind!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>1. Seven Commandos Beach</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"> <span style="color: black;">This is usually the last stop for Tour A but our guides decided that it's best if we make this our first to avoid the crowd. And sure enough, we had the beach to ourselves. The resort with its customized cottage-like hotels were nice too but as they say, it was priced in dollars. So, we just satisfied ourselves with the beauty of the clear waters and white sand. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> We just cruised around the Big Lagoon and we're not given time to take a dip. My guess is that it could be dangerous especially since many boats are coming to and fro. The rock formations were astounding although we had a hard time catching up on our pics as the boat was constantly moving albeit slowly. Perhaps, they're not allowed to park? </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> There is a big rock formation on the other side of Shimizu Island. Since it was just a short swim away, we swam towards it to snorkel. I don't know what happened but the corals in the front area were quite dead. It could be from trampling, anchors, dynamite fishing, or the corals could have been taken away to be sold. Such a sad state. So we decided to swim around the other side of the big rock hoping to see corals in good condition. And there were! But the current on the other side was really strong as it was already facing the ocean and since were swimming against the current, it took us quite a while and with great effort in swimming thru the circumference of the rock. But it was nice experience especially for my mom who was a first-timer at snorkeling and swimming in deep waters.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> "El Nido is a municipality situated at the northwestern tip
of the province of Palawan, Philippines. It is 430 kilometers southwest of
Manila, and 238 kilometers northwest of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan's capital.
El Nido is bordered by the Linapacan Strait in the North, the Sulu Sea in the
east, and the South China Sea in the west.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Municipality of El Nido is composed of 18 barangays
(villages) covering a total land area of 50,000 hectares. Its population of
27,000 people is a combination of native Palaweños, with a heavy presence of
migrants from other parts of the Philippines. The world's largest pearl was
discovered by a Filipino diver in a giant Tridacna (mollusk) under the Palawan
Sea in 1934. Known as the "Pearl of Lao-Tzu", the gem weighs 14
pounds and measures 9 1/2 inches long and 5 1/2 inches in diameter. As of May
1984, it was valued at US$42 million. It is believed to be 600 years old.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is the scenic landscape, crystal clear waters, and
relative isolation that attracts and fascinates most travelers to El Nido. The 45
islands and islets and the surrounding sea present endless opportunities for
adventure, nature appreciation, and even just simple amusements. El
Nido's majestic limestone cliffs are estimated to be 250 million years old. They
stand guard over clear waters, with 200species of tropical fishes, more than
100 species of corals, and three species of endangered sea turtles. El Nido's
forests are host to more than 100 species of birds, a large number of which are
endemic to Palawan. " <a href="https://www.blogger.com/(http://www.philippinecountry.com//philippine_beach/elnido.html)">(http://www.philippinecountry.com//philippine_beach/elnido.html)</a></span></span></div>

It was Sir Rod, the owner of Tatay Miloy's Inn who contacted the vehicle owner for us and we paid only 500 pesos/pax as the rent was for 7,000/van. So from the airport, we were fetched by the minibus and the driver took us to Robinsons in Puerto Princesa, Palawan so we can buy groceries, eat our lunch, and withdraw from the ATM. Take note, there are still no ATM in El Nido so you have to bring sufficient pocket money for your accommodation, travel packages, meals, and souvenirs.</span></span></span></div>

Do not expect malls, fastfoods, ATMs and other places you usually see in cities. Remember, people come here for its natural rock formations, crystalline waters, beautiful islands, and all things God-given. If you want to look for man-made structures, this is not the place! </span></span></span></div>

If you have both the time and budget though, don't just limit yourselves to these 3 tours as there are also Tours D, & E which covers some of the best beaches, diving spots, and waterfalls in El Nido.</span></span></span></div>

The electric fan was not used though as the aircon was already sufficient. There were 4 of us in our room with 2 double-sharing beds, with one rest room per bedroom. For those of us who stayed in the non-aircon room, they only paid 200 pesos each per day. </span></span></div>

In our case, we ask Sir Rod to cook our <b>breakfast</b> for us and we only had to pay him 100 pesos for his labor and gas consumption. We bought canned goods, noodles, rice, and other food items beforehand in Robinsons Palawan, and it was a good decision because the goods in El nido were more costly. I guess it's because the vendors still had to buy them from Puerto Princesa and they had to recover the cost. </span></span></span></div>

Ju-Kua, a member of the Chinese Royal Family, Trade Commissioner and
Superintendent of Customs of the Port of Chuan How wrote about the island,
Pa-Lao-Yu or Land of Beautiful Harbors in his book Chu Fan Chai.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In 1954, the town was finally given its present name, El
Nido, after the edible nests of swiftlets, collocalia fuciphaga, found in the
crevices of its limestone cliffs. These nests, "nido" in Spanish, the
main ingredient for the gourmet nido soup, are being sold at approximately US$
3,000 per kilogram.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Because El Nido was quite remote from most of the inhabited
islands in the Philippines, its pristine beauty was hidden to the world until
1979 when a sea accident happened in Bacuit Bay. As the story goes, "a
tuna line disabled a dive boat's propeller in the middle of the night forcing
it to drop anchor in an inlet. The following morning, the divers woke up to an
amazing scenery of skyscraping dark cliffs, thick green forest, white
sandbeach, sparkling water and, rising above it, a series of magnificently
sculpted jade islands." (<a href="http://www.elnidophilippines.com/history.php">http://www.elnidophilippines.com/history.php</a>)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> There was a brief lecture about the center, some trivia about crocodiles were also shared, as well as the descriptions on the exhibits. The preserved crocodile skin and skeleton shown in the picture belonged to a 17 ft crocodile caught in Barangay Rio Tuba also in Palawan. He was the largest crocodile known in the Philippines during his time. Of course, we all know that as of date, it is <b>Lolong</b> who holds the title of the <i>Largest Crocodile in Captivity </i>measuring 20 ft and 3 inches long, and weighing 2,370 lbs (1,075 kgs). Sadly, Lolong, who was caught in a creek in Agusan del Sur also died last February 10, 2013.</span></div>

The remarkable thing about this prison is that there are no walls to contain the prisoners and barely a fence to mark its boundary. Given its low security, escape attempts are relatively rare. This may be due to the fact that the inmates are allowed to govern and police themselves to a large extent, but also because many of the inmate’s family’s choose to live at the prison too; giving up jobs and houses and moving the entire family to be near their loved one.</span></span></span></span></div>

The goods were affordable and tourists are greatly encouraged to buy some as this constitutes as their livelihood. At least they're not begging.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"> Since we only hired a van, and didn't book with a travel agency for our Puerto Princesa tour, there was no one to guide us to the place and to explain to us several things. We just toured around the place, without anymore stopping to check on some sites inside the penal colony. Here are some pictures we took during our trip.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> We
paid only Php1,500 (for the van with driver) for a half day tour of
Puerto Princesa. Since our group had around 10 members, it only cost
Php150 per person. The tour was already inclusive of the ffg places:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Our first stop was the Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden and Tribal Village. We paid 30 pesos per person for the entrance fees. We weren't really excited at first as we thought that this will be just another butterfly sanctuary similar to those present in other places. But boy, were we wrong!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> This is the Palawan Bearcat According to the <a href="http://www.pcsd.ph/photo_gallery/fauna/bearcat.htm" target="_blank">Palawan Council for Sustainable Development, t</a>he Palawan bearcat is also known as the Malay civet cat. It derive its
name from the tiny sac or gland near its tail that contains civet, a
valuable odorous substance used as a base for the world's most expensive
perfumes. It is a nocturnal animal with a long husky tail, tufted ears, small
eyes, naked soles and palms, a small pointed face and elongated body.<br /><br />
It is grayish in color and feeds on fruits and meat. Its habitat is in
the deep forest, but it also ventures to more open locations, especially
when looking for food.
A curious combination of stealth and charm with its deceivingly cuddly
appearance, natives warn that it is quite vicious when cornered.</span></div>

The guide told us that each tribal family stays in the village for 2 weeks, then another family takes their place. Donations are greatly appreciated since this will be for the benefit of tribal family who depends primarily on hunting and a little farming for their sustenance.</span></div>

It was such a fun adventure especially since some of us were first timers and not good swimmers. <span style="font-size: small;">Nevertheless,</span> we felt safe since there was almost a 1:1 ratio between the snorkelers and the guides. The only regret we had was that we forgot to bring an underwater camera with us and so weren't able to take pictures of the beautiful and colorful corals and fishes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"> And thus, I greatly advise those who are planning to visit Bojo River, to also snorkel in the<span style="color: purple;"> <span style="color: black;">Bonbon</span></span> marine sanctuary. I recommend this even to first timers not only because of the lifevests but also because of their highly trained and experienced guides. I've tried snorkeling in Boracay before but it wasn't really a pleasant experience since we were left to fend for ourselves, and the corals were unhealthy and many were even dead. So unlike the situation in the Bonbon Marine Sanctuary where a variety of corals abound, plus we were also provided with complete gears (including flippers!) and a briefing on how to wear them properly.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><br /><span style="color: purple;"><b>But Wait, There's More!</b></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"> After the Bojo River Cruise and The Bonbon Marine Sanctuary Snorkeling, we were treated to a very sumptuous native lunch. We also tasted for the first time their specialty drink made from camote. It was reddish in color and really good! We thought it was ice tea until we were informed that it was not. Wow, that was really creative and resourceful!</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"> Honestly speaking, I got quite full and sleepy afterwards. On the other hand, my companions were busy learning weaving since it was part of their itinerary to teach us how to do it<span style="color: purple;">.</span> They were fast learners too. ^_^</span> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Mantigue Island was the last place to visit in our Camiguin itinerary, but definitely not the least! For me, it was the highlight of our Camiguin trip. We went there at around 2:30 pm and we had to travel for 20 minutes from the mainland to the island. We paid 550 pesos for the boat which can carry a maximum of 6 persons as well as 20 pesos for environmental fees. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you don't have any snorkeling gear with you, a small hut in the area also offers snorkel and fins rental. Mantigue Island boasts of their marine sanctuary which is really a perfect site for snorkeling. You can even rent a glass boat for 300 pesos (max of 6 pax capacity) to see the marine treasures underneath.Below are a glimpse of the surrounding views while waiting at the boat terminal.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Welcome to Mantigue Island! Admittedly, Mantigue is not as popular as the <a href="http://freespiritedvixen.blogspot.com/2014/06/camiguin-day-2.html" target="_blank">White Island/Sandbar</a> on the other side of Camiguin but I'd always choose the latter over the former anytime. I mean, White Island is unique in its own sense since seldom can one find an isolated stretch of pure sand in the middle of the ocean. But Mantigue Island has its own beautiful offerings too. The sand was really fine and to me, it seems as powdery as that of Boracay's. Well, I can't really tell for sure since the last time I visited Boracay was 2 years ago. But it was really paradise for us. I always value the notion of exclusiveness in a place. Beauty and privacy at the same time. <b><u><br /></u></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Mantigue Island has a lot to offer. From diving spots, to marine
sanctuaries, to swimming with turtles and other marine creatures, to
just dipping in the crystal clear waters far from the noise and
pollution of civilization. And just like most of the tourist spots in
the Philippines, international quality at a very affordable local rate.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: small;">The mode of transportation in Camiguin is usually the "Motorela". It's a customized vehicle which is mainly a motorcyle with a built-in body to carry 8-10 (sometimes 12!) passengers. Two additional wheels are attached at the rear portion of the vehicle. Minimum fare is 8 pesos and increases along with the distance.In Mambajao, there are two routes for Motrelas, the WESTBOUND ROUTE & the EASTBOUND ROUTE. We took the Westbound Route from our inn towards our next destination.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: small;"> As one can observe, there is also the "front seat" portion which can accommodate up to three persons, with the driver in the middle. Some have even built-in seats where one can sit directly at the back of the driver.</span></span></div>

didn't really consider it as a tourist spot since in my own opinion,
there's nothing unique about it. There are just so many old houses in
Camiguin. The house was not even developed as an attraction. : (</span></span></span></span></span></div>

The driver told us that there are also antiques inside, but we inferred that perhaps it was not really a very popular destination which is why the house is not regularly opened to the public, and so you can only go inside on prior booking.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">From our observation, the place is quite underfunded (sorry!). But there are several huge pigs, some ducks, and of course, the reason for our visit, the ostriches! The entrance fee's really quite petty, and so if you're one of those wealthy-have-some-money-to-spare tourists, we really recommend that you donate.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Below is an itemized schedule of expenses that we have incurred for our 2 days stay in Camiguin. Since there were only four of us, we were not able to maximize the 6-person max capacity of the boats. In other words, the total cost could be lower for a group of 6. The list is exclusive of meals, however. </span></span><br />
