We’ve been planning to go to this island months ago together with Paul’s family but because of typhoons and other unforeseen circumstances, the plan remained a plan. It was 1:00AM of January 30 when Paul and I decided to go to Cagbalete. I was bored and we’re not actually doing anything; and Mitch was on her trip to Singapore. “Do you wanna go to Cagbalete?” I said. And Paul said, “Now? As in right now?” “Yeah. Go. Let’s pack,” I replied.

We knew that we have to be at the bus station by 3:00AM but since we’re really not ready and our stuff were all over the place, it took us a lot of time to prepare. Eventually, we arrived at the Buendia bus station at around 4:30AM.

Knowing that our itinerary’s already messed up and that we actually haven’t been to that place, we still continued with our trip. We arrived at the Lucena City Grand Terminal just in time for the 10:00AM trip of the mini-bus. If only we took a van going to Mauban, Quezon, we might have arrived before the banca left the port. The mini-bus took almost two hours in traveling from the grand terminal to Mauban; this is because it frequently stopped to get and drop-off passengers. They told us that the banca left late; instead of 10:00AM, it left at 11:00AM. We missed it and because of that, we have to wait until the next trip leaves; that is 4:00PM. Good thing we took our lunch already at the grand terminal.

I was able to finish around 10 short chapters of the book I was reading and Paul was able to get some sleep.

The waves are big. They have to put some plastic canvas on one side of the boat to prevent the splash from getting in. After about an hour and a half, we reached the island. I was expecting a small island but it was just like Calaguas.

There’s a big barangay with a lot of concrete houses. Even some of the streets are concrete.

We have to take a 30-minute walk from the port to Villa Cleofas and we arrived before 6:00PM. We checked-in, cooked our dinner and met Moymoy. T’was my first time to meet him. We know each other online and we’ve been exchanging itineraries and travel tips through e-mail and text. We didn’t expect that we’d actually meet each other on this island. So, we had a chat with him while we cook our dinner and while we eat. After that, we went back to our room to rest. Since the island doesn’t have electricity and generator only powers the resort, we didn’t like the fact that they don’t have electricity after 12:00MN. It was a little hot; so we have to open the windows.

We woke up early for the sunrise but we didn’t see it fully because of the weather; it rained that morning.

I read my book and Paul went out to swim. It was only during 10:00AM where we saw the very blue skies, less clouds and the rippled-sands-due-to-low-tide; the perfect Cagbalete scene.

Took some pictures then packed.

The beach is not good for swimming because of the seaweeds. Scenery is nice; perfect for solitude, emo and reflection. There were times where the sea is noisy but during low tide, it’s very peaceful and FAR. If you wanna go here for the low-tide ripples, you have to wait until the water cease at around 9-10:00AM. It will return to high tide at around 2:00PM.

Like Boracay? Definitely not. The sand here is cream and Boracay’s sand is finer and more powdery.

The people in the resort are nice; even the people in Brgy. Sabang. They speak Tagalog so it’s not that difficult to communicate. You can ask the people at the resort to cook your food for you; even get coconuts for a reasonable fee.

One of my SPUM classes invited me for an Enchanted Kingdom theme park experience last October 23, 2009. Although I have been to the park for like a number of times already, I still joined the group for some unwinding. What’s new with EK? When we went there, Space Shuttle was closed and that made us a little disappointed. However, there’s this new “horror house” thing (not really sure if it’s really that new; this is the first time I saw and experienced it) they call SRR:X! that really rocks. For non-first timers, Enchanted Kingdom is getting boring; you have less and less rides to choose from and the old rides are not that exciting anymore. Most of the time, the Space Shuttle is closed and the Condor ride is just a piece of scrap metal; and if you want to do Go-Cart, “horror-house”, paintball, 4D theater and ATV, you have to pay extra.

All in all, my EK experience was still a blast. Maybe it’s because of the group I am with.

How to go to Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna
1. Take a CAB/JEEPNEY/LRT going to Buendia/Gil Puyat station.
2. Look for the JAM bus line terminal and take a BUS going to Balibago. Ask the bus assistant to drop you at Walter Mart in Sta. Rosa.
3. Take a TRICYCLE from Walter Mart to Enchanted Kingdom.

Where to Eat in Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna
The park itself offers a wide-array for food to choose from. Popular fast food restaurants like Pizza Hut, Ice Monster, Dimsum N’ Dumplings, Potato Corner, Dunkin Donuts, Karate Kid and Hotshots can be found inside the park. However, if you are in a tight budget (imagine tickets for the entire family, arg!) you may bring packed food and just eat at the parking lot or take a tricycle to the Walter Mart area for more cheaper options.

Here are some of the pictures I took at the Enchanted Kingdom Theme Park:

So far, nothing compares to the Calaguas Islands experience I just had last April 26 to May 2.  It was supposed to be just a two-night camp on the islands which became a five-night-stranded-in-typhoon story.

We’ve been planning for months to go to this remote island in Camarines Norte.  Google it out and you’ll find tons of breathtaking, virgin-beach photos of Mahabang Buhangin.

This is our story, Paul’s birthday story.

[This post is still on the works. Tons of stories and unforgettable experiences to tell.
05/14/2009 -  In the meantime, enjoy the pictures :)  Link to the photo album can be found below.
05/30/2009 - Updated “How to Go”, “Where to Stay” and “Where to Eat”]

How to Go to Calaguas Islands (Mahabang Buhangin Beach, Brgy. Mangkawayan, Vinzons, Camarines Norte)

Through the town of Paracale
They said that going to Calaguas through the town of Paracale is much safer than taking the one through Vinzons because you will not pass through basagan where the waves are breaking and chaotic. If you’ll go to Calaguas from Daet, this route is not recommended because Paracale is two hours away from Daet.  If you’ll go to Calaguas directly from Manila, then this is the route for you.  This is also the cheapest way to go to the islands.

1.  Take Superlines or Philtranco BUS from Manila to Talobatib (town of Labo, Camarines Norte) [8 hours]
The bus is bound to Daet.  However, you’ll drop off Talobatib in Labo.  In Talobatib, you’ll see a “triangle” junction where you can ask people at the small eateries where to ride the bus going to Paracale.

2.  Take another BUS in Talobatib going to the town of Paracale
Almost every 30 minutes, buses from Daet will pass through this junction going to Paracale. [1 hour]

3.  Then take a TRICYCLE from Paracale town to Paracale port. [10 mins]

4.  In Paracale port, ask around for the BANCA going to Brgy. Mangkawayan [1.5 hours]
You may ask the same banca to take you to Mahabang Buhangin beach for an extra fee or you may take a 1.5 kilometer walk from the barrio/centro of Brgy. Mangkawayan to Mahabang Buhangin beach.  I suggest that you take the latter for some sight-seeings.  If it’s difficult to understand the directions given by locals going to the beach, you may ask one of the local kids to take you. You may give them P20 tip afterwards.

Manila -> Talobatib -> Paracale town -> Paracale port -> Brgy. Mangkawayan -> Mahabang Buhangin

Through the town of Vinzons
Taking this route will make you experience basagan (breaking waves) and you’ll also pass through the Vietnam-like river where you’ll see tons of nipa. If you’ll go to Calaguas from Daet, this is the route for you.

1.  Go to Daet by (a) BUS or by (b) PLANE (from Naga)
a.  Go to Daet by taking a BUS from Manila to Daet [8 hours]
b.1.  Go to Daet by first going to Naga from Manila by PLANE [1 hour]
b.2.  From Naga airport, go to Naga terminal by either [20 mins]:
- taking a VAN from Naga airport to Naga terminal
- walking from Naga airport to the hi-way then taking a JEEP to Naga terminal
- taking a PEDICAB from Naga airport to the hi-way then taking a JEEP to Naga terminal
b.3.  In Naga terminal, take a VAN going to Daet terminal [2 hours]

2.  Then take a JEEP from Daet terminal to Vinzons market.  Here, you may do your last shopping of food (like meat and fish to ihaw), etc.

3.  From Vinzons market, take a TRICYCLE going to Vinzons port (they call it Pandawan)

4.  Vinzons port is actually by the river.  Here, you’ll look for the BANCA going to Brgy. Banocboc.  You have two options here, you could either take the “special” trip or you may ride with the locals on the “daily” trip.

Special Trip
In this case, you’ll hire the entire banca. This is recommended if your group is composed of five or more people because it is going to cost you around P4,000.00 to P6,000.00 depending on the size of the boat.  At this rate, the banca will take you directly to Mahabang Buhangin beach and it will get you the time you’re ready to go back.

Daily Trip
If you will take the daily trip and ride with the locals, you should be at Vinzons pandawan before 10am because bancas usually leave the port by 11am and again, you have two options.  You could either [Daily Trip A] get-off at Brgy. Banocboc then look for another banca that will take you to Mahabang Buhangain or [Daily Trip B] you may ask the same banca to take you to Mahabang Buhangin beach for an extra fee.

Daily Trip A
From Vinzons, ride with the locals and get off at Brgy. Banocboc.  From there, ask around if there are boats available that will take you to Mahabang Buhangin beach at Brgy. Mangkawayan.  I am not sure about the rate.  However, I’m sure that there are a number of bancas there that will take you to the beach.  If you will stay overnight in Mahabang Buhangin, remember that the banca will do four travels: (1) take you to the beach, (2) go back to Banocboc, (3) go back to the beach to get you, and then (4) take you to Banocboc again.  So think of your haggling price. Also, ask what time your banca (the one that will go back to Vinzons) will leave Brgy. Banocboc so you can tell your second banca (the one that will take and get you from Mahabang Buhangin beach) when they need to get you from the beach.  Usually, the banca to Vinzons leaves Brgy. Banocboc very early, around 6AM - 7AM.

Daily Trip B
Ask your banca (the one that you take in Vinzons) if they could bring you to Mahabang Buhangin after all the passengers disembarked in Brgy. Banocboc.  This might really take a long time because most of the cargoes of the banca consists of gasoline, crushed ice and other supplies (when we went there, they even boarded a motorcycle ).  If it’s low tide, you’ll see that passengers need to ride a small banca from your bigger banca to get to the shore.  Also, some passengers will get off in Sitio Sugod (This is also in Brgy. Banocboc and I forgot if it’s in another island or other side of the Brgy. Banocboc island; all I can remember is we travelled roughly 15 mins to get there).  After they unboarded the supplies and passengers, they will then take you to Mahabang Buhangin beach which is around 30 mins. far from Brgy. Banocboc)

Manila -> Naga airport -> Naga terminal -> Daet terminal -> Vinzons market -> Vinzons port -> Brgy. Banocboc -> Mahabang Buhangin

Manila -> Daet terminal -> Vinzons market -> Vinzons port -> Brgy. Banocboc -> Mahabang Buhangin

Where to Stay in Calaguas Islands (Mahabang Buhangin Beach, Brgy. Mangkawayan, Vinzons, Camarines Norte)

There are no resorts or accommodations in Mahabang Buhangin except for Mang Bert’s hut.  That is why it is recommended that you bring your tent and experience camping by the beach.  Mahabang Buhangin beach is divided into three areas: [Area 1] the one near the “drinking water” source; [Area 2] Mang Bert’s in the middle; and [Area 3] Mayor’s place on the right side if you are facing the beach.

[Area 1] I call this “the one near the drinking water source” because this area is near the water source that the locals on the island drink. There’s no fee if you will camp on this area.  On the way to the water source are nipa houses of some of the locals whom you can ask around for some help and directions.  There is no comfort room in this area; although I’m not sure about the locals’ huts since those huts are not really their real homes, their real houses are situated in the centro/bario of Brgy. Mangkawayan.

We chose this area to camp because it’s free, it’s near the water source, the camp site is “clean” and the view is awesome because you’re near the always-photographed beach curve.

[Area 2] I call this “Mang Bert’s” because Mang Bert owns this place and his house is here together with a hut for rent.  Here, you may pay Mang Bert P100.00 a night if you don’t have a tent and if you want to rent his hut (not his house). Although the hut is divided into two, you may want to have back-up plans (like bringing your own tent) in case there are other groups booked on this place.  You can easily see this place because of the colorful small flags in front.  There’s a shabby comfort room in Mang Bert’s house which you can use.  There is also a water source (a well) at the back (way back) of Mang Bert’s house but you can only use the water to wash your stuff and it’s not safe for drinking.

We didn’t choose this area to camp because we brought our tent and we have to pay if we’ll camp here (although the fee is very minimal).  We also got turned off by the flags and resort stuff because we wanted to experience nature “away from everything” hehe.

*Note: A friend went there after us and he has this not so good experience about Mang Bert’s place.

[Area 3] I call this “Mayor’s Place” because the mayor of Vinzons owns this place and the locals refer to this area as “kay Mayor”.  There are three cottages on this area and there are no comfort rooms just like [Area 1].  Use of cottage and camping on this area is for free.  However, it’s far from the water source and it’s near the cemetery.

We didn’t choose this area to camp because it is far from the water source and it’s near the cemetery.  Although there is a water source near the cemetery, the locals said that the water is “itchy” if you’ll use it to clean yourself up after swimming at the beach.  Also, this is where the group with “the thief” incident camped/stayed and we wanted to avoid experiencing the same thing (because even though not proven that one of the locals did it, we thought that it’s near the centro/barrio where the locals live and we just wanted to avoid it).
Where to Eat in Calaguas Islands (Mahabang Buhangin Beach, Brgy. Mangkawayan, Vinzons, Camarines Norte)

Since you’ll camp in this adventure, you need to bring your cook set and your food.  You may buy your food supplies in Vinzons or in Paracale before going to the islands.  There are also food supplies (rice, canned goods, vegetables, dried fish, etc.) that you can buy in the Brgy. Mangkawayan barrio/centro which is a 15 minute walk from Mahabang Buhangin beach.  You may ask the local kids to buy the supplies for you or accompany you to the barrio; just give them P20 tip.

Calaguas Islands Itinerary
Here’s the itinerary that we planned.  Of course, we weren’t able to do some of it due to weather problems.  We went to the islands thru Naga, Daet (to see Bagasbas), Vinzons then Brgy. Banocboc.

Part 3 of 3: This is a continuation of my Coron, Palawan - Day 1 (Part 1 of 3) and Coron, Palawan - Day 2 (Part 2 of 3) posts.

Coron, Palawan - Day 3 | Calauit Island Safari Adventure, Concepcion Falls, Cashew Factory

In day 3 of our Coron, Palawan trip, we experienced the safari adventure in Calauit Island, Busuanga. We woke up early because we were excited to see grazing zebras and we can’t wait to experience feeding giraffes. Coron Village Lodge also told us to wake up early for the animals are only there during mornings and they tend to go back to the forest in the afternoon.

After drinking coffee, we started our 3-hour trip to Calauit. Since it’s just around 4 in the morning, we’re all sleeping in the van on our way to the island.

After reaching our destination, we then need to take a 5-minute banca ride to the island. At this time, the sun had risen making the view of the island magnificent. We can’t help but take some shots for around 10 minutes in just the docks of Calauit Island.

After eating the packed breakfast Lan, our Coron Village Lodge tour guide, prepared for us, we started walking to the entrance of the sanctuary as we were greeted by the local Calamian deers.

Few more steps and we can already see the plains of the islands.

While waiting for the safari truck, Rudolf (the deer) and Mylene (the giraffe) welcomed us.

We wasted no time, grabbed the branches and hurriedly experience the “feeding of the giraffe”. Haha

The safari truck arrived and we spent the entire morning touring the island. We saw zebras, another giraffe (Gerry), an antelope, more Calamian deers, alligators, porcupines, a bear cat, wild boars, chickens, squirrels, etc.

Going home, we took our packed lunch in one of the carinderias in Busuanga (Risie’s place (of PDA Little Dreamers hehe)) then we headed to our stop-over, the Concepcion falls.

The Concepcion falls is located in Barangay Concepcion in Busuanga. To go there, you can take a bus from Coron or a tricycle (not sure on this one) from Busuanga. After a 5-minute trek from the main road, you will see this small, fresh-looking, and “oh-i’d-like-to-take-a-dip” waterfalls with crystal clear waters and some fishes to play around with.

The fishes under Concepcion Falls. [video]

And of course, before going home, we visited the cashew “factory”. Hmmm… why is this called “factory” when para lang siyang isang maliit na tindahan… hahaha

Everything was awesome in Calauit Island. This made our Coron trip really really worth it.

And oh, before I forget, we had Fried Tangigue and Sinigang na Sugpo for dinner. Oh my!

How to go to Calauit Island from Coron
There are two ways in going to Calauit Island from Coron:
1. By boat/banca - You may hire a boat in Coron that will take you to Calauit Island. The locals there said that this is faster compared to travelling by land.
2. By van - You may hire a van or FX in Coron that will take you to Calauit Island. This is what we did since we did not want to travel by boat at night.
[No driving directions provided on this site.]

Where to stay in Calauit Island
There is no accommodation in Calauit Island as the entire island is protected. You can stay in the towns of Coron or Busuanga.

Where to Eat in Calauit Island
Most of the tour packages in Coron include food, so you don’t need to worry about this. However, if you will not take a packaged tour, it is recommended that you bring a packed breakfast and lunch before leaving Coron or you may opt to buy food in Busuanga (on your way to Calauit).

Part 2 of 3: This is a continuation of my Coron, Palawan - Day 1 (Part 1 of 3) post. Also Coron, Palawan - Day 3 (Part 3 of 3) is already posted.

Coron, Palawan - Day 2 | WWII Gunboat, Colomboyan Island, Coral Gardens
In day two of our Coron trip, we get to experience more of the Coron islands. But before we headed the islands, we woke up early to witness the beautiful Coron sunrise. Although it was a not-so-easy 718-step stair climb on Mt. Tapyas, it was all worth every sweat drop. We reached the top just in time, giving us the opportunity to witness every second of the Coron sunrise.

I don’t know what happened but the thing I hated the most about this part was that I forgot to change the white balance of my camera. But even though we had bluish pictures, it wasn’t that difficult to convince myself that we have great pictures and besides, the experience was far more important.

On the way back to Coron Village Lodge for breakfast, we passed by the San Agustin Parish. And what’s for breakfast? We had danguit, beef tapa, egg and garlic rice.

We met with our same bangkero and his son and off we went to the second part of our Coron island hopping. First stop, the WWII Gunboat. We did a lot of snorkeling on this area. We saw the gunboat’s cannon but we did not swim around it that much because we’re a little “afraid”. We just wanted to see the fishes.

After snorkeling in the WWII Gunboat area, we did another hour boat ride to Calomboyan Island (“lomboy” or “lumboy” means “duhat” or java plum). This is where we ate our lunch, did some photoshoot and slept in the island’s hammock. What’s for lunch? We had inihaw na tangigue (Spanish mackerel), pork adobo and ensaladang seaweed (ewe! haha).

After resting in Colomboyan Island, we went to the Coron Coral Gardens for another snorkeling. I must say, this is the best so far out of all the snorkeling sites I’ve been to (Boracay, Puerto Galera, Caramoan, Bataan, Batangas, Hundred Islands).

Video (Snorkeling in Coron Coral Gardens)

I wanted to go to the shore but there were tons of sea urchins.

But really, nothing beats this coral garden.
