2nd Time Around: Cagbalete Island - For Low Budget Travelers.


For P1,010 only? How Could I Refuse? 








YANG-IN SANDBAR


After a month, we can't help but go back to this Island because of its majestic beauty. We were planning to go to a different place but we ended up here because we wanted our friends to experience the overflowing happiness that we felt when we saw the Island. This time, we visited Dona Choleng Resort then we tried snorkeling and we also visited Yang-In Sandbar. It was amazing.

HAGIS KIDS OF CAGBALETE


Please do not forget to bring pasalubong para sa kiddos form Mauban Port.
Sumasalubong sila sa public boat sabay sigaw ng "ATE HAGIS!"
Larong pang swimming pool na mag-uunahan sila mag hanap sa
ilalim ng dagat. I saw their happy faces nung naghagis ako.. but then I realized
kung gaano kadelikado 'yung ginagawa nila para sa maliit na halaga. 
Kahit piso okay sa kanila. Medyo not so clean
ang tubig dito sa area na ito tapos dumidilat sila sa tubig. Masakit sa mata, baka magka-infection. :(
