    May 15, 2020 /

    Biri Island is located in Northern Samar, and known for it’s six majestic rock formations that were carefully sculpted by Mother Nature over centuries. It is also unique as it doesn’t have the same fine white-sand beaches like many famous places in the country. There is something beautiful about its rawness and remoteness – the jagged, scraggy rocks jutting out of the cliffs, and rock pools so blue with the clear sky as its background. The journey to this island is a rewarding one for the adventure-seekers.

    I’m not a big fan of animal tourism. Friends of mine have previously tried swimming with these gentle giants and returned home with wonderful experiences. I’ve been to Cebu multiple times, but it has never piqued my interest. The only reason I did this was to see/experience firsthand how the whale shark watching activity in Oslob is run.

    I love places that are less touristy but still have loads to offer. The Mamangal Beach Catanduanes is one of the hardest to reach in Virac yet one of the most beautiful beaches that I have ever laid my eyes on. Located in Mamangal, a small sitio adjacent to Brgy. Balite, it has a wide and long shoreline with a great view.
