Your Guide going to San Vicente, Palawan

-
Traveling these days is truly quite tiresome and inconvenient especially when you don't have the complete information of your chosen destination. So, for those who want to go to San Vicente, Palawan, here's a guide for you on how to have a fulfilling experience in this unspoiled paradise.

1. Check flights and gateways.
   You have to check the gateways (either El Nido or Puerto Princesa City  Airport) if inbound flights for tourists are available. Sometimes, they have restrictions, depending on their CoViD-19 case situation. 

2. Coordinate with the LGU.
   Coordination with the LGU, which is your gateway, is very important, since your arrival at the airport is the official start of your vacation. ☺️ So, see to it that you have coordinated them well about the requirements needed. Nasa huli ang pagsisisi. 🙄

3. Visit San Vicente's website (sanvicentepalawan.gov.ph/tourism) for the requirements. 
   If you have questions regarding its protocols, drop a message to the town's tourism's FB Page (Office of the Municipal Tourism-San Vicente, Palawan) or you may call them at 09178544481 or 09994001454. Your questions will be definitely answered. 👍🏻

4. Seek requirements. 
  Be sure to prepare your requirements on time especially the RT-PCR or Antigen Test. Many tourists couldn't fly because of that. :( Sayang! 

5. Coordinate with your chosen accommodation.
Once you have booked an accommodation, see to it that you have communicated with them from time to time, because there maybe sudden few changes of the protocols that are missed to be relayed. Wag puro asa.😏

6. Double or even triple check your requirements before the flight. 
Sometimes, we get too excited to travel that we tend to forget the important things we need to bring. Aminin...:) 

7. Be a responsible traveler. 
   San Vicente has a pledge designed for all travelers to be filled out and followed. This way, the town hopes to relay awareness on how to be a responsible traveler. Sana ikaw din, responsable.😉

Inandeng River

The name Inandeng is from the name of two sitios in Barangay New Agutaya, San Vicente, Palawan, where Inandeng River traverses; Inarayan and Landing. It is 2.5km long, navigatable by smalls boats and kayaks, but only 1.9km is most often navigated by the locals, particularly the fishermen in the bgy.  The end of the river meets the Long Beach, the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines.  What attract me the most about the river are the mangrove area which is believed to be one of the big help in the barangay especially during the super typhoon Odette and the coconut trees that added beauty along the wider area of the river.  Sadly, a lot of the mangrove trees in the area were devastated during the super typhoon, probably the really old ones. However, it is fortunate enough that there's enough left for the people to adore while navigating the river. The LGU-San Vicente has already a plan to develop a River Cruise in the site, where every tourist can enjoy the river and...

Bato ni Ningning

                  📸 Chuck Maquiso Trivia:  In 2015, while I was on my recovery period after my surgery, I only stayed at home for months. During those days, I got nothing else to do but read books, watch movies and for the longest time, watch TV shows.  Because of the daytime series, "Ning2x," on ABS-CBN that time, I started to wonder where they filmed the pilot episodes of the show especially the site where there's a huge rock on the top of the knoll. I found the view really lovely!  Unexpectedly,  after a year and 7 months when I could travel again, I visited my friend/colleague in San Vicente whom I hadn't seen for a long time. She told me that we were going somewhere where it was one of the shooting locations of a television show. That's all! No other clues! hahaha   Can you imagine how I felt when I saw the place I dreamed of seeing but not knowing its location? hehehe It felt so surreal! I was overjoyed. ?...

Puting Bato @Lutopan, Toledo City, Cebu

Mountain climbing is something I got interested in when I first overcame my fear of heights. But our climb to Puting Bato was an unexpected one, that we were not able to wear even a proper footwear. 👣The ascent After about a 25-minute trek from the national highway, this was still pretty okay for the knees. 👌    But then..... Surprisingly!  Still thinking of backing out or not? 😂        Go go go! 💪      We (only 3 of us) never thought the climb would be like that.       No retreat, no surrender!             💪 😅      Finally reached the peak!        Down below 👇  When you're on top, you can see the mining industry in the area, Carmen Copper Corporation (CCC).        Relaxing on top while          ...
