San Vicente, Palawan (Northern part)

-
Reaching the northern part of San Vicente is pretty an adventure. Daring you are the bumpy roads, slippery roads particularly during rainy season and the distance itself since it takes an hour or more from the town proper. However, despite the challenging facts, it's not a doubt that the northern part of the municipality is worth the challenge.
First stop: Isla Bai-Bai 
This is also known as Secret Beach located below Bato ni Ning2x. 

Second stop: Bato ni Ning2x
Beaches of Bgy. Sto. Niño and Alimanguan and Imuruan Island are visibly perfect on top. 
Trivia: It is called Bato ni Ning2x after it became one of the shooting locations of the TV series Ning2x.☺️

Third stop: San Vic View Point
This is just few meters away from Bato ni Ning2x. The site is wider and perfect for camping. 🏕️

Fourth stop: Tandol Beach, New Canipo
It is one of the undeveloped beaches in San Vicente. I love the place and it has a lot of bukos. Hahaha 

Fifth stop: New Canipo beach (one of the best spots for sunset watching) 
I've heard that many locals have set up their tents at this beach and stay overnight. 

Sixth stop: Binga Beach
One of my favorite beaches in town I've ever been to! 

Seventh stop: Imuruan Island
It only takes about 20 minutes to reach the island from Binga or New Canipo. However, tourist boats aren't yet available in the area so, we just asked someone to take us there and rented the boat. Haha

Eighth stop: Lapus-lapus
 Sunset viewing at Lapos-lapos 😍

Mode of transportation: Rent a motorbike (more or less PHP800/day)

*It is also accessible via Abongan, Taytay. From there, you'll reach Bgy. Binga first in about 40 minutes from Abongan junction.

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          ...
