EL NIDO- Must Know

Arrived at Puerto Princesa International Airport from a super turbulence up in the air for an hour. (Manila- Puerto Princesa) Galit na galit ang habagat sa himpapawid so all we needed to do was pray and pray and thank God we landed safely. Kudos to Air Asia for a smooth ride up there kahit wala man lang kayong pa mani or 3 in 1 coffee man lang keri na rin!

This is my second time here at Puerto Princesa and was kinda shocked because the airport now looks different. It is indeed clean. Kita nyo si ate diba? Ke aga aga talagang walis tingting ang breakfast nya making sure all tourists will feel welcome here!

Uunahan ko na kayo ha. Inulan kami sa EL NIDO kaya wag kang masyadong gahaman sa pag eexpect ng magagandang pictures. Ang kapal mo naman para iprovide ko lahat ng magagandang scenery? Ni wala kang idea sa na experience ko kaya kumalma ka lang dyan.

Good Morning Palawenos!

Bat ang hot ko? 😂

Dont be confused beh. I am not going to tour Puerto Princesa. I am going to El Nido. But before we explore the beauty of that island I wanted to let you know that Puerto Princesa is the premiere gateway to get there. I am not sure if there are any other gateways tho. Wag mo akong tanungin dahil ito lang ang alam ko.

If you are a solo traveler at bigla mo lang naisip to get to El Nido then thats not a problem! May mga bubungad na sayo sa airport palang na nag aalok ng serbisyo nila so all you need to do is ASK. Wag kang outcast teh! Wag kang feeling rich kid at kutis porcelana! Tanong tanong din. Walang mangyayari sa pagiging snob mo. 

This is a 5 hour van/ bus ride from the airport. Quite a long journey isnt it? This video will show you how the biyahe would be. Kung takot ka sa mabilis na biyahe then I suggest you just stay at Puerto Princesa at namnamin mo na lang ang Underground River.

Zigzag road ang labanan dito. Kung pwede lang itali ko ang sarili ko sa upuan ko para hindi ako gumewang gewang ginawa ko na. 

There are 2 stop overs in between. One for lunch and one for restroom. If you are a joiner or solo traveler then pray for your comfort-ability meaning yung mga kasabay mo sa van ang ipag pray over mo wag yung driver, dahil yung ibang kasabay ko parang megaphone ang bunganga sa lakas magkwentuhan. Kakapal ng fes! Sarap pag bibigwasan! Hindi marunong makiramdam! Anyways- ayokong masira ang araw ko sa ipagpasa karma na lang natin sila.

Wait beh. Saan bang parte ng Palawan ang El Nido kasi?

O ito na nga- nakakahiya naman sayong hindi ko idetalye diba? If you can see those red circles na binilugan ko. Those are the famous tourist spots of Palawan. Thing is, I already went to Coron few years back and the gateway obviously is Busuanga. Wag na namang shunga shunga at baka san ka mapadpad.

Balabac is where my next destination is- God willing maybe next year summer? Kung meron kayong alam na tour for Balabac next year then what are you waiting for? Isama nyo ako dyan besh! Wag selfish! or better gagawa ako ng Group Chat and lets plan next year mga summer or before that? Comment your name or pm me lang if you want to join. I can organize this! push! Hindi to drawing kaya wag kang ano dyan!

Hinahanap ko talaga ang famous Amanpulo sa mapa pero hindi sya nagpapakita. Dahil siguro pang yayamanin lang yun ganern? Bawal yagit? On a serious note- I hope to visit Balabac anytime soon!

Did you know that Palawan is the largest province of the Philippines? Alam ko lakampake shinashare ko lang.

After a 5 hour bumpy ride, Ive finally reached El Nido Proper. Itong mga traysikols talaga ang sasalubong sayo. They are everywhere! I guess 50 pesos is the minimum fare and still depends kung san mo gusto rumampa at mag maasim.

You will not feel lost at this area which means andito na sa El Nido proper ang lahat ng kailangan mo. There are drugstores here, souvenir shops na nagkalat, jusko may salon pa dito mamsh ano pa bang inaarte mo? Push mo na yang pag papa famous mo bago ka mag island hopping! Meron ding mga spakol! You name it! May mga pa ihaw din sila dito during night time at kung ano ano pang hanash ng El Nido talaga, so gow na dito for relaxation!

There are ALOT of hostels in the area and its up to you on where do you want to check in. And because I am not after fancy hostels, I've chosen El Centro Bay Inn which is just 2 steps away from the port. Oh yes! 2 steps lang talaga! Hiyang hiya ang mga iba kong kasamahan sa island hopping na they are riding traysikol pa to get to the port. Sabi ko naman just do your research thoroughly at wag puros pagmamayabang ang alam! You are here to enjoy El Nido and not mag maasim. Dont expect a super gandang accommodation dahil hindi mangyayari yun. Expect the worst. Anyways here is the contact number of the hostel:

El Centro Bay Inn, El Nido Palawan
+639175013288

Si ate na kaakbay ko ang pinaka mabait na receptionist na nakilala ko! (Number one pa rin syempre yung receptionist sa Siargao) Isipin mong halos lahat na ata ng kakapalan ng muka ko sinakyan nya? Free extra rice, free waterproof bag, free water, free coffee at dahil dyan may free hipo sya talaga saken mamaya! :P 

Oh before I forget- Brown out sa El Nido from 4am-6pm. Ang saklap besh dahil paypay ang labanan! According sa mga hanash nila- may inaayos daw na poste or whatnot sa buong El Nido. Medyo nakaka haggard lang but as if we have a choice? May generator man hindi kaya ang aircon at fan. Kaya lang ata ung ilaw sa CR so magtiis.

This is how it looks like when you start your island hopping for tour A..Daming afam teh! Manawa ka left and right! Back and forth! Front and back! Gustong gusto mo to diba? 

This is at 930AM at kalma pa ang dagat sa mga panahong ito but you have to understand that September ngayon besh so dont expect a sunny weather. Thing is, hindi kagandahan ang weather sa EL Nido when I got here. Sept 1-4 2018! Ang lakas maka panira ng ulan talaga! Ang lakas maka yagit ng weather! Ang lakas maka kaba ng hangin at alon sa karagatan.

So alam na ha? Magbaon ng tibay ng loob at kapal ng muka when you go here during BER months. Mag pray na sana magpakita si Sunshine Cruz.

Kaway kaway sa mga andito during those dates!

The pics on this album just like any blogs I made from the past are randomly uploaded. In short, hindi sunod sunod.

This is at Small Lagoon. You can do snorkel here if you want or kayaking kung pasok sa budgey mo. Kayaking is at 200 per person for an hour na. Ayaw pa ba? Sapat lang na ipang story story mo sa IG mo tutal gusto mo laging ikaw ang sikat.

There are floating stores here! I mean si kuya na nagkakayak is selling buko juice, sodas, beers, name it!

P.S- Wag mo ng bilangin ang bilbil. 2 layers nga yan kapag gutom and 5 layers kapag busog. Bakit ka ba?

No need for a detailed caption dahil nakaka umay!

The view is vey self explanatory! No need for edit. Photo editors are useless here like snapseed, cymera, light room etc. Ibulsa nyo muna ang pag eedit edit ng pic because EL Nido doesnt need those apps.

By the way- the small lagoon isnt where I was located. Gets? Okay tagalugin ko. Hindi yan ang small lagoon. Andun pa sa dulong part. Okay na ho?

You need to make kayak pa banda dun sa dulo to where the lagoon is. I dont' have an underwater camera at ayokong mag bida bida doon with my cellphone that isnt water proof, only water resistant. Please know the difference naman at wag na namang adik adik.

Water Proof- Pwedeng ilubog sa tubig.
Water Resistant- Pwedeng matalsikan ng tubig.

Clear?

Kung merong small lagoon- Abay papatalo ba ang Big Lagoon?

This is at Big Lagoon- obvious ba? Para sa mga level one monkey ang brain cells this is bigger compare to small lagoon. Lol

Anyways- the bangka cannot park on where Im at because bato bato na dyan. Sa medyo dulong part doon ka mag bida bida dahil sobrang lalim dun. Thats the reason why you need to rent a kayak board for you to explore this magnificent spot! No joke! Of all islands in El Nido- this is a must visit! You can stay here for an hour and do your "pamatay pose" just like what I did.

P.S- if you dont know how to swim then make sure your life vest is intact because ang kayak board tumataob. Please dont bring your gadgets as much as possible if those arent water proof. You might regret. Also, if your weight isnt ideal like obese 8 per se, juskolord! maawa kayo sa kayak board baka mawarak. So stay na lang sa bangka para iwas hassle.

To be honest- hindi ko na alam kung saan ito. Sa dami ng islands sa tour wag kang mag expect na isa isahin ko pa para sayo. Nahihibang ka ba?

This spot is astonishing! Gusto mo yung astonishing? Wag mo ng izoom ang kilikili ko dahil maitim nga yan. Focus tayo sa napaka laking rock formation sa likod ko.

Did I mention that United Nations can also happen in El Nido? Oh yes! Since I am a joiner talagang ipinag pray over ko ang makakasabay ko sa island hopping. At hindi naman ako nabigo! Good thing that the group I joined ay walang mga sapi. Walang epal! Walang mga yagit!

Though there are some na parang suminghot na sunog na goma but it is okay! As long na kaya mo pang sakyan gow!

The reason I took photos of them was because they are indeed nice! Long story but these are the models from Spain and Argentina! At papakabog ba ang inyong yours truly from the Philippines?? Of course not! Labanan ng FLAGS dito besh! Gow for the gold tayo syempre!

P.S- Oh wag pasimpleng malandi ha? Wag nyo ng izoom zoom ang mga afam. Yang kamanyakan nyo ha. Ibulsa muna ang kababuyan. Thanks!

This is at Serenity beach. Period!

There are no people here nung pumunta kami. Probably because of the not so good weather. Dito kami hinangin ng todo at akala ko last chance ko ng masilayan ang El Nido. Sa sobrang lakas ng hangin muntik ng tumaob ang boat! Pero dahil nga may lahi tayong "famewhore" wapakels! just to get a good shot like this.

From the word itself "Paradise" this is at Paradise Beach. This is where we took our lunch under tour A. Dito rin kami binagyo while eating. Imagine a table in the island with food tapos babagyuhin? Besh! Unahan kami sa pag silong sa mga bato bato just to save our meals! Nag trunks talaga ako dito bakit ka ba? Nilagyan ko ng medyas ung bandang anis para kunwari daks.

There are good spots in here where you can take selfies. Dito kayo mag lamyerda all the way. The good thing about all islands in El Nido- may signal teh! LTE and 4G combined! This is a good opportunity for you to make landi all throughout the day! Gustong gusto mo yan diba? Just like my advice when I was at Siargao- i download ang Tinder, Scout, Meet me and Grinder dahil sandamukal ang afam dito. Afam goals besh daleeeee!

Wag ng maraming hanash! Panoorin nyo na lang ang hanash ko about "Secret Lagoon" and how I uncover the secret. Muka talaga akong ulikba dito dahil nga may sapi ang hangin ng habagat. Anlakas maka haggard beh! Ang mga pores ko lahat bukas. Pwedeng pumasok yung langgam. 

Napapansin nyo ba yang itim itim sa life vest ko? ay mamsh! wit ka choice kundi sootin yan. Parang taong libag ata ang huling gumamit nan at naiwan ang bakas sa lifevest! Medyo yucky no? and yes from eye bags to eye luggages ang peg ko dito dahil wala pa akong borlog at lakampake okay?

Click HD and max volume wag shunga.

P.S- Cute pa rin ako sabi ni Mama

Ipush natin ang dadbod dadbod na yan at pagkagat kagat sa shades para sa alindog shot!

By the way, I've helped alot of people by our detox juices. Visit my website at saguiafinsdelights.comand let us know how can we help you achieve that healthy body you always craved for! Thank you besh for making saguiafinsdelights your choice of a healthy drink since 2014!

Hindi ito promotion. Totoo lang talaga to. Mas natural pa ang juices namin kaysa sa muka mo. Hope you can try!

Just like in any other groups that I had joined, hindi talaga mawawala ang mga "photo bombers" but this one is entirely different. This is a "close up" photo bomber as if she was my subject? Thing is, I am trying to get a good shot of the rock formation in front of me. When suddenly- si ate IBINUYANGYANG ang lubot nyang with "wedgie" in front of my face! So kapaaaaal!

I really wonder kung panty ba yan or panyo or whatnot pero hayaan na natin sya! May pa ganchilyo din syang soot soot. Iba din si kumare natin ano ho? This is a free country diba nga?

One thing that intrigued me bigtime was yung "wedgie" nya was kanina pa yan like hours ago pa. Di ba nya ramdam at ayaw nya talagang ayusin? I dont know!

Enjoying the view here at Secret Lagoon when suddenly naihi ako (full force)

Nagmamalinis ka na naman! What do you expect? Where do you want to pee? Sa Restroom? Yang kaartehan mo sinasabi ko sayo ha.

Okay before I discuss details of this spot. I wanted to tell you that this is not included in any tours of El Nido.

This is a DIY or do-it-yourself itinerary teh.

This is at Taraw Cliff. This is the perfect view of El Nido, Palawan. The trek will be for 45 minutes (one way) and still depends on your capability. If you have fear of heights, anxiety attack, heart problem, mukang maligno, amoy kulob then this is a NO NO for you. This is a very challenging climb, the treks are almost vertical, not to mention the sharps and pointed rocks that really add more diffuculty! Besh! This is a NO NO for a first timer. Hindi sa oa but this is a buwis buhay climb! Wag matigas ang bunbunan! Wag pa bida! Wag pasikat!

Avoid trekking on your own. There are tour guides in standby and the fee is at 500 petot. Avoid trekking kapag maulan dahil hindi ka makaka akyat sa dulas at baka ikamatay mo pa.

This kinda made me feel emotional when I've reached the top and kudos to our tour guides who always have the adrenaline to take good shots.

Just like my friend na nag bibida bida doon sa batuhan. Kita nyo ang effort ng mga tour guides natin ano ho? Share a "tipaklong" or tip in other words. Wag makapal ang muka!

The canopy experience is different from Taraw Cliff. The Canopy is the pabebe version as there are stairs built to get to the top. While Taraw Cliff is cliff. Gets?

Wala ng batong support yan sa likod sa please take extra precaution kung gusto nyong mang inggit ng kaibigan or kamag anak sa shot na gusto nyong i achieve.

According to our tour guide. Taraw Cliff has been closed down for months as there was a tour guide na nacomatose when he tried to save the life of an afam who fell off during the climb. Too bad. I pray for his speedy recovery!

For adrenaline junkies just like me, Wag nyo akong tularan that I dont have gears. Gloves and helmest are must wear but since this is a biglaang lakad then I just prayed to God to guide me which he perfectly did  Thank you Lord!

Nakakahiya naman sayo kung pati mga tours hindi ko ma ishare diba? So ito na! Just zoom it and see what islands you want to visit. Kung adik na adik kang makita ang lahat ng yan then choose all of them at manawa ka sa kaka island hopping. Puntahan mo lahat yan hanggang gumapang ka pauwi.

The rates depends on the season. Majority of the tours in EL NIDO are partnered with hotels or your accommodation. Bahala ka sa buhay mo what you want. You can simply ask around because people there are very accommodating naman. You can simply join any group. You will not be left out as there are people who just joined groups just like that. Lets not complicate things. Okay?

Unlike my Jomalig Blog. You will not feel anxious about those smokes. Those smokes are from "liempo barbecue" Hindi uso ang GASUL dito sa mga bangka. Ihaw Ihaw lang ang labanan dito so dont be scared na may sasabog along the way. Wag negatron. Wag tungaw.

May mga kasamahan lang talaga tayo na lingon ng lingon sa usok sa bangka, malamang komang nagiihaw sila kuya para pangkain natin diba? Pag nagtratravel dapat kalma lang lagi. Hindi yung parang praning.

Sige nga bilangin nyo nga lahat ng bangka?

Taraw Cliff is just paradise. Dito ko lang nalasap ang ngiting tagumpay. The good thing about this trip is may pa bundok ka na, may pa beach ka pa. Combo indeed!

In a nutshell, mahirap talaga to get here. Sa mga mountaineers yakang yaka nyo na to! Pero puro assault dito beh ha. Assault na puros batong patulis. So ingat! Laabaaann!

If you availed any tours that Ive posted on the pic uploaded prior then this is the lunch food waiting for you. Wag kang feeling sosyal dito sa El Nido mamsh kapag nag iisland hopping dahil baka iitsa ka nila kuya tour guide sa laot sa kaartehan mo. May kasabay lang talaga kaming naghanap pa ng pasta at pizza, ang sarap lang talagang jombagin ni ate.

Besh- because afams are not really familiar with our foods just like the "ensaladang talong" and "toyo with vinegar with kamatis and sibuyas combined" then this is your chance to shine! Meaning- ubusin mo ang mga fudang na yan! Dito mo pairalin ang pagka patay gutom mo. Gow lang! Isabaw mo ang toyo sa kanin mo geh walang pipigil sayo.

In our experience- Afam didnt eat the ensaladang talong at yung pa alimango nila. So alam na? Kaing patay gutom it is! Wag din namang magpahalata sa pagka halimaw mo. Eat discreetly. Nguyain ang food ng 24 times. Wag timawa.

To be honest- Mukang konti lang ang pagkain when you look at it. Pero ang tagal maubos nan infairness.

There are still alot of things that I didnt tackle about EL NIDO. But thank you to all the people Ive met here. Especially Marc and Nina that added flavor to our trip. 

Thank you to our funny tour guides named Dan, Christoper and so on. You guys made this trip even worth it. 

People here are very nice as well! Filipinos and Foreigners have one heart here at EL NIDO and that is to explore the beauty of this magnificent PLACE! Pinapatay ang killjoy at maarte sa lugar na to so sana umayos.

P.S- Tour guides added me here at facebook. If you want to avail their tours simply pm me and I can redirect you to them.

Yes I am proud to be Iglesia Ni Cristo

Okay so ganito. Yes, I am an active member of INC and as much as possible, I actually don’t like to post anything about my faith in social media. I don’t know, but my personal connection with our Almighty God and me being a member of INC don’t have anything to do with Facebook, IG, Twitter and the like. I don’t feel like sharing it because I avoid drama over these platforms, lalo na yung mga nag aaway sa comment sections? Please! we know that these sites have been overused by people, some are trying to prove themselves yada yada etc. Unfortunately, there are also some people who based people’s character pa nga as what they see in social media sites. Wow! I almost forget. Iba na nga pala ang mga tao ngayon. But here I am atleast sharing my .30 percent of my faith.


Anyhoo- Earlier today, March 30, 2019- I was one lucky kapatid who witnessed the teaching of our Beloved Executive Minister and yes! Pinangasiwaan nya ang pagsamba namin sa aming locale which was only advised us few days before the said date. At first, hindi ako makapaniwala. Its really a mixed emotion because majority of the time, I only see him during video links streaming (if you’re a kapatid, you will definitely understand) and I haven’t met Ka Eduardo in person yet so indeed I was so excited. I prayed that God will be with us during the entire pagsamba which he perfectly did as always!

Fast Forward- After that mabiyayang pagsamba, the long wait is over! Myself found me shaking hands with him upfront (teary eyed) That feeling! And seeing Ka Eduardo’s smile is such priceless! I am indeed happy that not only I was able to met him in person pero nakasugo din ako sa tupad for finance on that very special day so maaga ako nakapasok sa loob ng kapilya, I felt sorry to some brethren, especially those that came from other locale who haven’t got the chance na makapasok. Security measures in the area din is super strict.

For us INC kasi, we don’t always get the chance to see our pamamahala in person. Infact, I haven’t even met our late beloved executive minister Ka Erdie. I remember, When he passed away in 2009, I was in INC compound at Central but have not gotten the chance na makapasok sa Templo because of thousands of people. Nonetheless, the fact that I was there, paying respect, I think that’s enough.

So whats my point? When you heard about us INC in social media, online blogs or anything you read especially that are against US, please don’t be one sided or judge us quickly based on what you have read or probably even saw. I respect all your opinions and bash, infact, we are super used to it. Think about your friends who are INC as well. How would they feel if you said something wrong about INC? In the same manner that this also applies to us INC to not attack these people. At the end of the day, we know the teachings. We can always have a decent talk over religion if need be but not that way.

Also, I hate the connotation sometimes that we INC members are all banal. We are not! just like ordinary people, we are humans, we commit mistakes of course, we are super far from being perfect. The reason why until now that we are inside INC is beacause God wants us to be. Despite sa mga kasalanan natin, we really aint worth of this privilege. Totoo rin naman talaga na wala sa INC ang problema. Nasa INDIVIDUAL na kaanib. So bakit ka matitisod?

Anyways- I am not here to be so melodramatic about my faith. But I’m here to atleast share what I wanted to share. I’m sharing you this link as well- this is so far one of my favorite hyms na minsan lang talaga sya awitin. Its uploaded on you tube. I always feel super blessed listening to this so you may want to listen to this too.

JOMALIG- Must Know

Arrived at Real Quezon province port from 4 hours drive from Manila. This port is the only gateway to get to Jomalig Island. We were here since 3am at maryosep! Hindi ako na inform na sobrang daming tao sa port na ito (well atleast this day bec it's a weekend) Magbaon kayo ng maraming pasensya pag andito na kayo. Parang may fiesta at liga sa dami ng tao mga besh. 

Note that this port also caters other islands at hindi ko alam kung saan ang iba okay?

We were supposed to leave by 4am and guess what? Weve left at exacty 9am! Kulang na lang mag super sayan ako sa inis at gusto kong itumba ang mga salarin kung bakit kami late nakaalis. So lets leave it there.

P.S- Daig pa ng Port na to ang mga airport natin sa Pilipinas. Coast guards here are super strict. We need to undergo alot of security checks, making sure na naka soot ang life vest mo, muka kang tao, walang maligno at kung ano ano pang hanash ng coast guards.Okay na rin for our safety.

Hindi yan ang bangka namin! ano parang adik lang? Malamang yung bangka namin kung saan ko kinunan ang pic. Wag namang shunga shunga oh. Yung mga bangka papuntang Jomalig mas maliit dyan so wag kang mag hallucinate.

By the way, Sa mga nagbabalak magdala ng sasakyan ni wag nyo ng tangkaing ituloy dahil baka ito pa ang maging mitsa ng hindi mo pagtuloy sa Jomalig. Kung may parking man laging puno unless gusto mong ipark sa bundok. If I were you its a big NO! para iwas hassle na rin. I've never regretted na hindi ako nagdala ng sasakyan. Stress free indeed!

How to commute going to Real, Quezon? Jot it down mga kabagis! 

Hanapin ang Raymond Transportation sa bus terminal sa Legarda Manila- They have daily trips there, I am not sure with the time. Pati pa oras ako?? and thats it!

Saan nga ba ang Jomalig kasi? This map will show you where exactly this island is, and besh dont be so relaxed as the journey going here is not a joke. 

This is a 5 hour boat ride from Real Quezon Province. Oo! Narinig nyo ng tama! 5 hours boat ride one way! Kung meron kang sakit sa puso, anxiety attack, masukahin, mukang sabog then this trip is a no no for you. 

The boat will pass by the Pacific Ocean at talaga namang ang alon hindi ka sasantuhin. Papakin nyo na ang bonamin, advil, biogesic, lahat na ng gamot sa hilo lunukin nyo na bago kayo sumakay ng bangka. Ipaligo nyo na rin ang white flower at efficasent oil much better.

Siguraduhin mong nanalangin ka na sa maykapal bago makipag sapalaran sa malalakas na alon. Gusto natin to diba? diba?? so magtiis kaa!

We were just 10minutes after we left Real Quezon port but the waves are kinda malakas na. So paano pa sa gitna mga papsh and mamsh? Salamat sa tutubi na gumabay saken while capturing this video. Hindi ko alam san yan nanggaling but it is very timing that he made dapo to my hand.

4 hours and 50 minutes journey starts now! 😂(sarap ko sapakin sa taglish ko talaga)

P.S- Uunahan ko na kayo- malakas ang alon lalo na pag andun na kayo sa pinaka gitnang part. Wala kayong makikitang mga isla sa parteng yun, tanging karagatan lang ang matatanaw nyo. Wag kayong magpanggap na tulog dahil alam ko deep inside takot kayo at nakikiramdam. Ingat mga besh. Pray ha bago umalis!

Lets pray for all brave souls who passed away last December 2017 on their way to Polilio Island (Polilio is only 2 hours boat ride from Real Quezon Province) Unfortunately, lumubog ang boat because of big waves. Rest in Peace mga kapatid!

Just so you know, the boat has patio, balcony, terrace or whatever you call it (both sides) If waves are not malakas, you can stay here at mag muni muni. Kausapin nyo na rin ang karagatan ng Pacifico kung hindi ka makatulog sa byahe. Wag nyo ng tangkaing magpapicture at umawra dito dahil mem! talaga namang isang maling hakbang mo lunod ka. So kalma na lang at magnilay nilay.

Along the way, ang alon pumapasok sa loob so we needed to close our boat windows kung gusto pa namin mabuhay which we politely did.

Wear your life vest mga mamsh and papsh the whole trip, Kahit na yung ibang life vest amoy taguro, alam mo yung amoy kulob? Tiisin nyo na lang! wag ng magpakasosyal at walang lugar sa Pacific Ocean ang mga ganyang pag uugali.

May pakain sa bangka dito besh oh yes! May pa lunch sila mayor! Medyo kabado lang ako dahil may stove sa bangka at may gasul. Susme! talaga namang pinag pray over ko ang gasul na kumalma lang the whole trip.

As I was saying. This boat is just so mysterious! lol This boat can fit 80 people including our baggages. Hindi ko rin alam talaga kung paaano at bakit magkakasya ang 80 people dito as this looks smaller, pero gayunpaman nagkasya kami. Magic it is!

The boat has a loft area where I guess 30 people can also fit. The people who stayed up there were all nakahiga. Bawal tumayo besh, kailangan mong humiga lang at hayaan mong ipag hele ka ng mga alon ng dagat Pacifico.

This picture will show you how to get up there and how to get down as well. Hindi uso ang hagdan dito mem! Drum ang labanan dito, so kung naiihi ka along the way you need to pass by this drum to get where the bathroom is. One wrong move and you're dead at nag aantay ang mga pating sayo. Kung kinakailangang mag rappel gawin mo. There are sharks here! Peksman. Mamatay ka man!

Aleluyaaaaaa! Salamat Lord! After almost 6 hours boat ride nakarating na kami sa isla ng Jomalig, at talaga namang hahalikan mo ang buhangin dahil naitawid namin ang mga alon na galit na galit. Yung muka ko dito biglang manas, sa lakas ba naman ng hangin for 5 hours what do you expect? para akong pinasakan ng siopao sa pisngi.

It should be 5 hours travel lang pero along the way may nasiraan na dalawang bangka and oh my holy macaroni! kami ang humila sa dalawang bangkang sira ang makina. Muntanga talaga!

Yung kaba ko, pakiramdam ko yung kaluluwa ko parang nabaliw. Papaano mahihila ng isang bangkang may otchentang pasahero ang dalawa pang bangkang may tag otchentang pasahero sige nga? Ano kami titanic? Halos tawagin ko si Lord ng one hundred times at napa life vest kami lahat sa takot. Mabuti na lang those boats are being guided over Polilio Island at mag isa na lang kaming gumora sa Jomalig.

Hindi sa pag aano ha syempre labs ko din sila kaya lang mas labs ko buhay ko. Sayang ako if lalamunin lang ng dagat 😂

I feel sorry for those people who were on those boats pero kailangan na naming mauna. So kita kits na lang sa Jomalig mga parekoy! 😍

P.S- Jomalig pronounce as ho-ma-lig wag shunga ha.

The usual island hopping can be done via boat or via habal habal, and of course we chose to do this way dahil mahal pa namin ang mga buhay namin para lunukin ng Pacific Ocean. 

The view while on your way is superb. It looks like mini Batanes. Napaka relaxing. amoy puno, amoy sariwa, amoy singit, amoy probinsya at amoy kili kili ni kuya habal driver 😂

This is our first stop at Canaway! This place is just so wonderful that you will forget those negative vibes while we were on our way going here. The sand is gold white and the water is blue on this side.

I didnt edit this pic, at hindi ko rin kasalanan kung maganda ang camera ng phone ko so wag na kayong magtaka! 

Mahihiya ang adobe photo shop nyo dito. Naturalan ang tubig na ganyan sa isla ng Jomalig. You can swim here pero this time napaka init at talaga namang nilunok ko na naman ang sun block to be safe.

This is still at Canaway island on a different side. My friend who took this shot was at the top of a rock. The view at that rock was just so breath taking as it will give you a sneak peak of big waves from the Pacific Ocean. Dont worry, the waves wont get on where this island at. There are natural barriers that prevent the waves for whatever reasons. So isagad nyo na ang mga awra pose niyo dito. Hubarin nyo na yan mga besh, ipakita na ang singit, cleavage, mga lubot gow! mag tumbling tumbling na rin kayo sa buhangin na yan. Labaaaannn!

This is where my prior shot was taken. This is a rock where you can have a view of Canaway. Ito talaga ang mga oras na gusto mong lunukin ang tubig dagat sa saya. 

This island alone is magnificient! Parang nakikisama ang sand bar sa mga tao dahil very kalma sila and I guess during high tide mawawala na ang sand bar, so samantalahin nyo na ang lugar na to from 9am to 2pm. Ibigay todo nyo na ang pang profile pic or cover photo nyo for 5 years daleee. Mag story story na rin kayo sa instagram sa spot na to tutal gusto nyo laging kayo ang bida gow!

Sand bar at Canaway Island and this is very self explanatory! My friends on the shore (right side) are having a good time sun bathing. You can also rent a boat to pass by on sand bars for 10pesos. This is optional sa ayaw mabasa. Muntanga kaya ka nga nag beach diba? Yung mga nagbangka para talagang ngumat-ngat ng moth balls. Medyo nakakairita! lol

The water is waist deep to get on where we at.

Mag ingat sa mga talangka lalo na sa batuhan at nangangagat ng mga singit yun..Nakagat ako malapit sa yagballs so I know the feeling and I know the pain. It hurts you know?

This is at Salibungot Beach.

My co mountaineers who always have the adrenaline to make the most of our time when we travel. 

P.S- nakadamit na sila sa shot na to pero kanina walang soot ang mga yan for their instagram shots 😂

This is at Pamana island and it is also known as the mini Boracay of the North. The island looks like station 2 in Malay Aklan minus the establishments of course and the famous D Mall.

I was so happy to know that such place exist! In a nutshell, there are no foreigners here! First time to witness an island with no afam! Not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing but this island is really a mustvisit. Hindi dito pwede ang afam goals nyo mga besh dahil mazezero kayo dito, so focus na lang at enjoyin nyo ang mga isla.

P.S- walang silbi ang dating app nyo dito mga mamsh at papsh so matutong mag self control at wag ng lumandi. Walang signal dito at talaga namang kakausapin mo na lang ang dagat at mga puno ng niyog. Kalimutan muna ang tinder, scout, grinder, meet me at kung ano ano pang mga kalandian nyong mga apps pansamantala or better i uninstall muna at namnamin ang ganda ng Pamana Island. Enjoy beshies!

Pasegway ulit mga kapatid! Para sa katawang Kim Chiu please visit my website at saguiafinsdelights.com at umorder na kayo ng detox juices! Marami ng pumayat dito wag kang ano kaya itry mo na! Daleee!

Enjoying the green water with the gang. Pakiramdam namin solo namin ang buong isla. White sand din dito mga papsh and mamsh at marami ding buko dito so gow na kayo dito dalee bago na naman dumugin ng mga turista to. 

Surprisingly, the water here at Jomalig is not super salty. Hindi tulad sa iba na parang may kulam sa sobrang alat. Behind us, laot na yan so hinay hinay sa pag swim ha baka lamunin ka ng dagat. Wag rin masyadong pabida sa pagpapapicture at baka hindi ka matancha ng Pacific Ocean at bigla kang kainin. So dito lang tayo sa green part area.

My nipples are just so dark that I needed to make it pink when I get back home in Manila 😂

Any suggestions kung paano?

Ito na yung duyan na nakasampa sa buhangin. So kung ang bewang mo is 42 wag na wag kang sasakay dito at tutumba ang niyog. Para mo ng awa!

Disclaimer: Pa iba iba ang panahon dito. Pwedeng maaraw mamaya at bagyo later so please make sure that you have a water proof bag to keep your gadgets dry. 

Gaya ng sabi ko when I was in Siargao- wag na wag kayong mag google google ng caption sa mga pictures nyo. Anlakas maka timang ng ganyan! Ang lakas maka yagit! Maging natural sa caption, yung tipong isang hashtag lang at wag paragraph na halata namang hindi galing sa utak mo. Wag nyo na ring sundutan ng mga bible verses ang picture nyo dahil hindi ikakabanal yan! So please umayos tayo.

I forgot the name of this place. When I travel I dont care where Im at. I just enjoy the feeling of being on that place. #damingalam Kudos to sir Carlos Antonio for taking good care of us!

This team is called the National Geographic! lol we were just so damn curious about things. We talked about aliens, outerspace, mysteries and the like. Mantakin mo ba namang napag usapan pa namin kung nasaan na si Amelia Earheart? Sabog lang diba? 😂

Guys- on a serious note Jomalig is an island where you can bring your friends, lovers, family and spend quality time. This island is so peaceful at makakalimutan mo pansamantala ang problema mo sa buhay. Pwede nyong isigaw ang mga problema nyo kasabay ng alon, pwede rin kayong magwala, magwalwal mag yawyaw, gawin nyo na lahat! Pwe!

At Golden Sand Beach.

Enjoying the gold sand here when suddenly I remember wala na pala akong cash. Mukang kakain na ako ng damo mamaya.

Naalala ko walang atm dito mga besh. Wala ding eps transaction or whatnot. The electricity here at Jomalig is by schedule. Our resort will have a power starting 1pm to 1am. Not bad, I am not sure with other resorts tho. 

Magdala na kayo ng maraming cash dahil marami rin namang mabibili dito but dont expect too much on the goods. Pang tawid lang keri na. I full charge nyo na rin ang mga power banks nyo kung gusto mong macontact ka ng mahal mo sa buhay. Pa sundot sundot ang signal dito so mag sasayaw sayaw ka na lang kada island at baka sakaling magka signal.

Ito na naman ang panirang ulan. Dahil nga located ang island nato sa karagatan ng Pacifico masyadong maulan. Mayat maya. Parang may sapi yung mga ulap dito. Ang mga puno ng nyog dito talaga namag nag rorock and roll sa lakas ng hangin. Isama nyo sa prayers nyo na magpakita si haring araw at i-pag pray over nyo na rin ang mga kasama nyong parang kampon ng kamalasan.

You can stay at this island as long as you want. Bring your own food dahil wala masyadong tinda dito. Tanging fresh buko juice lang ang bubungad na paninda dito. I-bottoms up mo kung trip mo. Dont compare Jomalig to those islands that you've been to. Jomalig is entirely different. Parang may sapi at the same time unforgettable. Basta masaya!

FYI: BER months are not ideal dates for you to get to Jomalig. According to some locals masyadong malalakas ang alon during those times that some trips took 9-10 hours boat ride one way to get here. Patayan talaga! So alam nyo na, iimpake nyo na yang mga gamit nyo ngayon palang! Sugod na kayo dito bilissss!

Gold ang buhangin besh sarap isangla! Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganitong buhangin at talaga namang magbubulsa ka talaga as remembrance.

I have to add. The habal habal ride will be at 2hour ride (stops in between dahil masakit sa pwet) Kung virgin ka mahihirapan ka pero kung hindi alam na? 😂

Majority of the islands here are virgin pa (like me) Maaring hindi pa napupuntahan o napapasok (uh! uh!) dahil nga nuknukan ng layo. There is no other Philippine island after Jomalig. The next place after Jomalig kapag tinahak mo ang Pacific Ocean is Hawaii na. I'm not hundred percent sure but I wanted to let you know na somehow ito na ang pinaka dulo sa right side ng Pinas and its indeed a must add to your bucket list!

Paniguradong luluha na naman sa inggit ang mga kaibigan nyong insecure kapag nakitang andito kayo so gow na dito dalian nyo naa!

Manyakis look.

You can bring food here at Pamana Island so I strongly suggest you bring your packed lunch which we didnt do dahil nagmamadali na kami at late na nagising from last night plastikan with friends. Pwede nyo ring ituloy yung plastikan nyo dito habang nag bubuko juice kayo.

Normally, the island hopping will start at 9am and thats until 5pm or kung may lahi kayong kulto sige isagad nyo sa gabi. Bala kayo.

P.S- please dont expect a comfy bathroom across all resorts here. Hindi mangyayari yan. All bathrooms in this island are plywood level meaning pwede kayong masilipan. So wag din hubot hubad pag maliligo. Feel na feel lang na nasa bahay teh? Magtira kahit nipple tape just to be safe.

There are times na pati ang pag igib mo ng tubig ay diy or do it yourself mem. Iwanan nyo sa Manila ang pagka maarte nyo kung gusto nyong maka survive dito. Okay?

These two kids are just so cute! They are english spokening (with accent) Dumugo ang ilong ng mga habal drivers sa mga batang to. At the early age they are adventurous! Kasama namin sila sa buong trip! So isipin nyo na lang to. Kung kaya nila, ano kayo? Mga tae tae? 😂 Pinanganak atang mandirigma tong mga to.

I wish to have kids like them in the future. So cute at napagkamalan pa akong ninong nila. See you soon babies! Kiel (guy) is 4 years old while Kaela is 6. Pake nyo naman diba? 😂

Favorite spot ko talaga to sa Canaway Island. Nakaka ulol yung view. Nga pala you can do camping at Jomalig especially doon sa mga resorts na may bakanteng lote. Also, children at this island are extremely nice. They will all say hi to you when your habal habal passes by. Nakaka teary eyed lang that these kids warmly welcome us and they look so contented on the little things they have. Locals herereally deserved to be taken care by our Government.

Jomalig can be considered as "stranded island'. Thing is- Coast Guards will automatically cancel a boat trip if the waves are malakas. There are cancelled trips from yesterday due to weather issue so mabuti na lang hindi na cancel ang samen.

If you're planning to go here pls anticipate a cancellation on your way home. There is no guarantee for a return trip. So mag leave kayo ng matagal just to be sure at hindi kayo mag nga-nga-ngawa sa mga kasama nyo kapag hindi kayo nakapasok sa work.

I-plot nyo na yung mga leaves mong convertible to cash. Ganun din yun! babayaran ka din naman gusto mo pang ipunin? Pag yan na forfeit sa kaartehan mo sinasabi ko sayo. Gamitin ang common sense when travelling.

This is at Lonely Tree.

I somehow felt emotional with this place. Its a mixed emotion actually. I wonder if this tree is happy because he is alone or he is really lonely. We dont know! Pati talaga puno dinamay ko sa mga emote emote ko. 😂😁

On a good note, I guess this tree is happy, dahil biglang may signal dito sa spot na to at biglang nagka mobile data. Oh yes! Nakapanood ako ng porn hub. Tumambay talaga ako ng bery bery light.

Mga besh ilimit nyo naman ung mga shots nyo sa spot na to. Wag nyo ng pahabain ang pila, tama na ang 3 shots with different pose! Wag masyadong makapal ang muka! Pabida teh? Yung nauna saken dito balak pang umakyat. Sarap talagang hagisan ng piccolo.

Another breath taking experience here at Jomalig.

My famous "jump shot habang umiihi pose"

Oh nagmamalinis ka na naman. Yung galawan mong kunwari maliligo muna ako sa dagat if I know iihi ka lang. Wag ako ha. Yung iba nuknukan ng kadugyutan at tumatae pa nga. Saksi ang mga underwear nyong may buhangin pa sa mga pag ihi nyo sa mga dagat so please wag ako. Tampalin kita e 😂

So bakit ba ako naka jacket? Besh! Wag shunga. Una pumapasok ang alon sa bangka at talaga namang wet na wet ka. Pangalawa, pakialam mo ba?🤣 

Bat ba ako naka top sider imbes na tsinelas? Ay mem ang buhangin sa Jomalig kakaiba! lulubog ang paa mo every tapak as in lubog ng 2 inches, alam ko walang konek pero bat ba hayaan nyo na sige sige maglibang 😁

Things to ponder before going here.

*Bawal ang maarte, hindi ka importante sa islang to.
*Bawal pasosyal-pinapatay dito ang mga pa sosyal. 
*Bawal ang matatakutin. Walang mangyayari sayo
*Bawal ang kill joy. Magmumuka kang outcast
*Bawal ang sobrang ingay- bibigwasan ka ng mga campers dito
*Bawal ang patay gutom. Dahil wala masyadong mabilhan ng pagkain dito.
*Bawal ang sobrang tagal maligo dahil maraming susunod sayo.
*Kapag maliligo matutong mag igib sa poso. Maawa kayo kay kuya na taga igib sa atin especially at Madis resort on where we have stayed.

FYI- Ang mga kama dito sa mga resorts ay nasa lapag lang pero may kutson naman. As far as I know- walang private bathroom dito, Talagang pipila ka everytime you need it. May mga times na talagang mag iigib ka sa poso pambuhos, panligo, pansipilyo or whatnot. So kung nuknukan ka ng pagka social climber then Jomalig is not for you.

Below is the contact details of the resort on where we have stayed. Tawagan nyo na dale at laging fully booked to!

Madis Island Beach Resort:
Contact number: 0909--025-6147 or 0995-879-4894

Enjoy mga besh!

Ito na nga at talagang hindi ko ma contain ang saya ko at nagwalwal talaga ako dito. Ang tingin ng mga tao saken para akong sinapian. Lakampake!

Pagod na ako to video blog mga besh so pipi mode on muna ako for this trip. 😂 Enjoying a 360 shot here at Pamana Island at Jomalig. 

Click HD wag shunga.

Habal habal camcording.

Be very mindful about sa mga dinadaanan nyo kapag nasa habal kayo. Maraming masisikip na areas na tatama na lang sa ulo nyo ang mga sanga at puno so please be very extra careful kapag nagseselfie at baka ikamatay nyo. Wag din masyadong maingay sa habal at baka ma nuno kayo. Amuy amuyin na lang ang sariwang simoy ng hangin habang nasa byahe.

There is no gasoline station in this island which means sa tindahan sila nagpapagas. Oh yes, nawindang ako dahil ang lagayan ng gas red horse mucho! very epic! Alam ko wala kang pake pero sinasabi ko lang. In short wala masyadong tinda dito. Matutong kumain ng damo at bulaklak kung kinakailangan.

Napaka lakas ng hangin at talaga namang nagbabadya na naman ang ulan. Pagtyagaan nyo na lang panoorin wag ng maraming hanash. 

Thanks Jomalig, you are a beauty! and I am so hot! 😂
