  • Balabac, Palawan may be known for its beautiful islands, but you don’t need to brave the sea to see something beautiful. A couple of sights are in Balabac Island itself and all you need is a motorcycle. Yes guys, I’m back on the road again for half a day to check out Melville Lighthouse and…

  • I’ve said a few posts ago, that I fell in love in Onuk Island. That orange sky that welcomed me was a sight I can never forget. The lazy afternoons and moonlit nights, the first time I sleep on the sound of waves rather than music. And the best of all, staying in an island…

  • Candaraman Island, Balabac It’s my fourth day in Onok Island and I had enough of relaxing. I asked Kuya Totoh days before if I could go island hopping. It should’ve been done earlier but the weather is not cooperating, so this delay is pretty late since I need to leave the day after tomorrow. In…

  • I ran out of words to say, or maybe, I can’t put into words all that I wanted to share. My days in Onok are just so full of ‘firsts’ and it’ll be a pain in the eyes to read all that. So let me share these series of photos. Basically, how I spent the…

  • Today I discovered the other side of Onok Island. The part comprising of trees and tranquility. The part where I wished I stayed longer, because being alone in here makes me feel a lot more of myself. My morning started with the other guests’ voices. Chattering and shouting, indications of overjoy and excitement. Though I…

  • My excitement may be the only thing keeping my energy now. I woke up from a short but better than nothing sleep. I traveled for more than 12 hours just to get here. Eleven hours after my arrival, Onok Island still doesn’t fail to amaze me. What more, I get to enjoy this island all…

  • It was Friday at 3 in the afternoon when I came to Balabac. The sight was normal as other provinces except that there’s a mountain in the middle. The residential area surrounds the ring of rock like bits of pieces. On the open area in the port, a skinny man welcomed me with his red…

  • When 2017 came, I’m still undecided where to go after landing in Puerto Princesa Palawan. I bought this ticket last year and initially planned to go back to El Nido. But then, this post came up about an unknown paradise to many. I don’t remember how I stumbled upon this picture, but getting my eyes…

  • It’s our last day in Coron and what better way to end it up than seeing the whole of this town? We need to go up! Unless you have a drone or helicopter then Mt. Tapyas is the way to go! Mt. Tapyas places second on the highest mountain in Coron, following Mt. Darala. It…

  • My First Diving Experience

    I was out of ideas when I sat down at the front desk, choosing between the tour packages. We’ve been island hopping and snorkeling for the last 2 days and our remaining tour of Malcapuya beaches is not available. I circled around the walls of that small shop, until the banner for Diving packages caught…
