Potipot Island, Zamabales

Pagmulat ng mata,
Langit nakatawa
Sa potipot,
Sa potipot
Tayo nang magpunta
Tuklasin sa potipot
Ang tuwa, ang saya

Doon sa potipot
Tayo na, tayo na
Mga bata sa potibot
Maliksi, masigla. (2x)

hahahaha!


I choose Zamables as my destination for my birthdate celebration as I have read so much about it on the net and heard a lot from my OL friends..

first stop: POTIPOT ISLAND



I've heard this island once and after that i cant stop thingking of it... i checked it on google earth and just kept of googling until i got what info was available on the topic.. then i planned and headed off to the unknown.

Its a big risk, ive never been there, much less ever in zambales but i took the chance...


The island is amazing. It was a thrill to land on it and see, first hand, what I only read on the net.
The water was so calm that you can just lie back and float peacefully.

There's no other visitor in the island, its only US.

Expect to see nothing but the beach, sand, trees, dead trunks, coconut trees, some unknown trees standing almost reaching the sand which makes the island more romantic...

No decent CR, so dont pee if youre not use to pee on public communal, no bathroom so just take a bath back at your resort or use the POSO.

We've noticed some contractors there, I think they cutting some trees and theyre making some table and benches or i dont really know.

bottom line, if you want to relax and swim in peace (no crowds!), it's definitely a good spot to visit. :)

Aquria, Playa Calatagan

Image
It's a long weekend na naman, kaya we have decided to lay down on the sand under the sun. My skin is still tanned and havent been recovered from yesterday's outing with my family in Lipa and yet again we have this biglaang lakad. We went to Aquaria last Sunday as we thought that we would be able to enjoy the solemnity of the place but I was wrong. Forgot that since it's a long weekend, a lot of people will be on leave as well and will rush to the beach for the last few weeks of summer. We didnt bring a car for I wanted to learn how to commute to Calatagan  (sometimes it better if youre lost - that's my fav tagline) and I also thought that it is just a piece of cake since we will be coming from Batangas. BUT I WAS WRONG! PLEASE WAG NIO KAMI GAYANIN! hahaha! Since we came from Batangas, we had a hard time looking for a route going to Calatagan. Unlike those that will be coming from Manila, I think there's a direct route going to Calatagan. As per my res...

TAAL BASILICA

Image
hmmm... Im from Batangas  that's why I always have the chance to go to the Asia's oldest church which is St. Martin de Tours of Taal... but one day my boyfie and I decided to climb at the Tore of Taal church.. at first I didnt like my bf's idea since Im really afraid of heights but we still decided to try it just for the heck of adventure.. twas creepy, I mean the way up.. coz its too old, too dark and the old stonewalls look like weak and will break anytime! I heard some bats as well and the smell wasn't that nice.. but definitely the view from top was indeed breath taking! You can see the entire city of Taal, the market and the Municipality. Its kinda windy as well so its not really advisable to stay that long since it doesnt have fences. Before you can go there, you need to visit the main office so they could have you assisted by their guards or sakristan since it's not really safe. Then a little donation wont hurt your pocket, I guess. We gave 50 pes...

Come Again in Camiguin - Countryside Tour

Image
Hiyaaahh!! It's ber month and Im back on backpacking and beaching mode! Oh yeah, nobody cant stop me from exploring every niche of the PI.. :p   This time, I went to Northern Mindanao with my solemate and his friends. First, we went CDO for the white water rafting - see next blog. The morning after, we went straight to Camiguin. From Cagayan de Oro, we went to Agora Market Terminal to catch the first trip to  Balingoan Bus Terminal. From Balingoan terminal we took a tricycle (10pesos each)  to the ferry terminal bound to Port of Benoni in Camiguin. Fare is 170 PHP / Terminal fee is 2.50pesos and travel time is 1 hour - 1 and 45mins (depends if it is a fast craft or not)  The 5am ferry that we took was not! We arrived  Port of Benoni at 6:45am :(  Recap: Cagayan de Oro  to  Agora Market Terminal (Bus bound to Butuan) Bus to Balingonan Bus Terminal    Ferry to Port of Benoni Camiguin Sunris...
