Bato ni Ningning

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. 😊 

So, you already have the idea how it got its name, Bato ni Ningning.😃 




How to get to Bato ni Ning2x?

From Poblacion (town proper)

Option 1:

You may hire an e-trike for PHP1,500.00 (good for 5pax). That's the maximum capacity of an e-trike. 

Option 2:

You may rent a motorbike for more or less PHP750.00 (good for 24hrs). It is also advisable so it's easier to get around town.

Option 3:

Let your accommodation arrange it for you. Some accommodations offer a service using their pick-up vehicles.

Notes: 
- Bgy. Poblacion to Bgy. Sto. Niño (where Bato ni Ningning is situated) is approximately 24kms.

- Some parts of the roads are not yet concrete particularly from Bgy. Alimanguan to Bgy. Sto. Niño proper, so expect a pretty bumpy ride. Don't worry, it's just quite bumpy, but not scary and dangerous at all. 


Entrance Fee: PHP25.00/pax

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...

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          ...
