Gumasa Sailboat
beach weather in Gumasa

While its raining almost everyday in Manila, weather in Gumasa, way down south in Sarangani province, was pleasantly summer-like. Last weekend was a few days of sun, sea, and sand (and with a weather like this, one can't help adding another "s" - shooting). I had the whole family with me, but I managed to sneak out a few times to take snaps :D. More photos in the coming days.

Balagbag Cascade

My mission that weekend: photograph a waterfalls, no hiking/camping, day trip only, on a shoestring budget. Its rainy season again and its the ideal time for shooting waterfalls.

Coron: Tapyas Sunset Viewpoint
as the sun goes down

When you are in the town of Coron in Busuanga, climbing Mt. Tapyas' 718 steps is a must. At the summit, one is treated to a breathtaking view of the nearby Coron Higantes island and the rest of the islands in the Calamianes group.

Bantay Abot rock formation greets visitors heading to Maira-ira’s Blue Lagoon cove (officially known as Malingay Cove). This distinctive attraction, naturally sculpted by the waves and winds of South China Sea, is a favorite stop over and offers a view of the rugged seacoast.
