Exploring Caramoan. An undiscovered wilderness
June 12, 2007
I was into catatonia writing the proposal for this project; not because such experience with an exotic island will set exciting new heights, but more so, I knew there’s something I need to introduce to that place.
After Dr. Flor approved the proposal, I have not wasted a single time researching on the whereabouts of the place. In walkabout inquiries, many have discouraged us because the place is allegedly infiltrated by the left. History attests to military encounters with these groups that are common in towns of Caramoan, Garchitorena, Lagonoy, and Sabang. Evidence to this is the increased military visibility in the area. Yet, this did not deter me in pursuing the plan.

Together with Majo, my cousin and Henry, who owns the videocam, we set forth to Caramoan 5am. We brought with us a video camcorder, digital camera, and an SLR camera. Camping gears like tents, flashlights and mosquito repellant lotions are a necessity. As we were told, neither ATM outlets nor Rural Banks are available in the area, so we brought enough cash but with extra caution!
