El Nido (Tour D)

-
Tour D is the least chosen tours in El Nido which in fact it is the nearest. Hehehe But this is definitely one of my favorites in their tours.  So, since this is not often chosen by tourists, expect that you might be in a private tour. If you're alone or just having one company, you might be lucky if there's another group that would welcome you in the group.😁 Like, us (my friends (couple) and I) when we had this tour, we only joined in the big family that was supposed to have the tour in private. In short, mga sampid lang kaming tatlo sa bangka. Hahaha

Well, here's what Tour D looks like. :) 

#1 Small Lagoon 
This lagoon is just pretty close to Big Lagoon, but as I'd mentioned in my previous blog, you can't visit anymore the two lagoons at the same time for "carrying capacity" purposes particularly when there are so many tourists.
My favorite part of the lagoon. 👇 Hehehe 
It was low tide when we got there. So the water wasn't really deep. 

#2 Helicopter Island
As I had also mentioned in my previous blog, this is included in Tour C.

Right at the tip of the island is the tunnel that connects to Cadlao Island where you can also enjoy many beaches and my favorite Cadlao Lagoon.

#3 Pasandigan Beach
We didn't go for a swim here. We just relaxed and enjoyed the food (lunch) before heading Cadlao Lagoon. 😋

#4 Cadlao Lagoon
My favorite! 😍😎
This is the lagoon where we enjoyed a lot. As you can observe, there's a part where the sea ground is visible and it's sandy. 
Look how clear the water is and how pretty the rocks are ! 😍 Walling photo is perfect here, but I didn't try, I'm not good at that.😂 

#5 Paradise Beach
It's also a fine-white-sand beach where swimming and sunbathing are perfect. But I was pretty tired when we got here, so I just tried to go up a bit on the wooden steps made for everyone to see a better view of the surrounding areas. 
P. S. 
There are still so many beautiful places in El Nido especially the islands and I'm glad I have had the chance to see some of them. Definitely, I love them! But I totally DISLIKE the town proper. It's super crowded. Parang, masyadong siniseryoso nila dun ang build build program .😆😔 The view of the area is totally an eyesore. Sobrang dikit ang mga structures; accommodations, shops, banks, etc. Ang sakit sa ulo! The worst is, there's even a cemetery very close to the beach. 😆😁  I asked if it is still used, and it is, since there are skulls and bones and whatsoever that aren't transferred yet. Huhu I hope, the local government of El Nido shall do something better to keep the town proper a safer and a healthier place to live in and to visit to. 🙂

Until then...stay safe and healthy! 🙏 ❤️

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          ...
