Dubbed as an “island of no return”, this magnificent islands bordered by bigger islands of Luzon in the north, Samar in the east, Masbate in the west and Tagapul-an in the south. Now I know why they call it like that. One of my former colleagues found the love of her life on the island. It was a rewarding...
A province with 5 towns truly gifted with fertile soil producing the best mango in the world, abundant marine resources, natural and dramatic landscapes, friendly and inviting people. This sums up our travels in some parts of Guimaras. There's more to explore!
Living in Iloilo for almost 5 years, Guimaras has been part of our life. I missed this island...
Day 1
I just had my work suspension that time so I had the chance to roam around and visit any place I’ve never been. Got all the time in the world. Few hours after I posted my Limasawa itinerary at the couchsurfing website, I got a reply from a member named Michael of Negros Oriental. His group is also...
Two years ago, I had dreamt of exploring this laidback island. Unfortunately, I missed the boat at Banica port so I decided to just go there some other time. It was after 2 years that I grabbed an opportunity to fulfill this dream. I'm persistent and don’t easily give up. This was my second attempt to cross this island...
I had been to this island several times but still didn’t write something. So far my favorite among all the scattered islands around Biliran province due to accessibility and affordability especially when traveling with a group. A few years ago, when I set foot into this paradise, there were no structures standing except those big boulders perfectly sitting on...
Finally, after 4 years, I had the chance to revisit these pristine islands with a big group of friends from Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, and Manila. Big changes had occurred especially in Digyo Island. It was in 2009 when I first set foot to this group of islands. Followed every after 4 years in 2013 and in 2017. Derived...
Homonhon plays a significant role in Philippine history. The first island where Ferdinand Magellan set foot on March 16, 1521, while rediscovering the country for Spain. This 20-kilometer long island under the municipality of Guiuan in Eastern Samar Province has 8 barangays survived by chromite mining and mostly fishing. I am forever grateful with the invitation of my very good friend Ms. Rina who...
You'll probably ask me why this is my number one island? Suluan's location makes it vulnerable to frequent exposure from numerous typhoons every year. The resilience of the people living in the community, the uncomplicated island life, the raw beauty of the island, and hospitality are just a few of my reasons why I considered Suluan as my number one island in...

It is one of the least populated island municipality in the province. Derived its name from the word “Acapulco”, an old trading post in Mexico. Their ancestors used to call Capul as Abak. Their unique language called "Inabaknon" is...
“It is not how much we have, how much we spend, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness”
It’s a talk of the town. A place where a tourist or traveler should spend a night. After hopping from Limasawa Island, I decided to jump into this tiny island located in the municipality of Matalom. Few kilometers away from Maasin...
