From pristine white beaches, to exotic species and the local's wisdom, this blog will unravel the unique mysteries of Philippine paradise incomparable elsewhere. This will feature testimonies about our explorations and travels including tips on how to get there.

This is my own personal tribute and gratitude of interacting with nature's sheer beauty and in meeting the local inhabitants of the place. It is worth mentioning that each one of us should have the responsibility of preserving the natural state of these sanctuaries that continue to hold us spellbound.

We were scheduled for a whole-day island hopping to explore the 298 hectares National Park. We woke up 4am since its good to work early on while the fog is still down. We rented a pumpboat good for 3 to 5 passengers. These pumpboats do not have covers so we can get a good view of the tall limestone mountains.

From then on, we were prepared for the most dreaded thing – the sunburn. The weather was calm in the morning but the rain heavily poured down in the afternoon. Although we were not prepared to get wet, we were not spared by the downpour of rain. Thanks to the durability of Sony handycam. It can withstand extreme weather conditions. We were able to cover 5 islands fronting Gota Beach including the eastern portion of the National Park.

This includes Bag-ieng Island, Matukad Island, Tayak Beach, Tayak Lagoon, Cagbalinad Island, Langkipaw Tablet Rock and Naglahos Island. Features of these islands are captured through photographs. Among the islands, it was Cagbalinad Island that holds us stunned. Water is so clean where corals carpet the entire coast of the island. We were so lucky the water was still that allows us to capture in film the beauty of this coral formations revealed here for the first time.
