Very late post, my apologies.
I was able to see the Kanidugan Festival parade last April 5, 2008 which passed by in front of our shop here in Odiongan, Romblon. Kanidugan means nidog or niyog (coconut) which the town of Odiongan celebrate every year. The townsfolk also celebrate their fiesta in favor of Saint Vincent Ferrer. I quickly took some shots of the parade. Some shots below.
Or you can watch a slideshow of all of the shots taken by me that day:

I learned about the news of an upcoming Pinoy Big Brother La Salle-Dasma Edition from Newsette, Dela Salle's bimonthly magazine publication (Vol. 17 No.18 April 1, 2008 edition). My brother is taking up BS-ECE in La Salle-Dasma and immediately informed me about this. I took a hi-resolution picture of the front and back page of the magazine publication for you to read the details. Labels: Gossips, Philippines

My brother believed this is true. Watcha think?

Punta Corazon Beach Resort

I want to share this to my fellow bloggers and to my loyal readers about this remote beach resort in Romblon, Romblon. I had the chance to go there together with my cousins just to visit the place believed to be the hidden treasure in the island. The entrance fee costs around P60 for adults and a discount for children. The very location of Punta Corazon is hidden from the main road. Getting there from the town proper requires you to hire/ride a tricycle. The road leading to the entrance of the resort is not passable for vehicles. A 3-4 minute walk is required to reach the main entrance. Labels: Personal, Philippines, Reviews
The place was spectacular. I fell in love with the place while gazing through the almost perfect landscaping of the area. Almost everything you see there is well planned. Although the main entrance is not yet finished as you can see below on the first image. However, it doesn't spoil my excitement as I saw the clear waters and the man made pool which harbors seawater. I couldn't resist taking some shots of the area... even the grass found there. The outside lighting is powered by the sun. One way to lower electricity costs and to contribute eco-awareness. The walkways and stairs are creatively paved with white pebbles and shells. The cottage there is somewhat designed by a professional. I like the cottage in the top-most portion of Punta Corazon which is named "Casita". The green grass is pleasing to the eye. Punta Corazon is like a paradise!
How to get there:
1. From Manila, you can travel by ship from Pier 8 via the MBRS Lines or Superferry which travel to Romblon.
2. Batangas seaport also has shipping vessels going to Romblon via the Montenegro Shipping Lines.
3. You can also book a flight via SeaAir which has scheduled flights to Tugdan Airport in Tablas Island 3 times a week. Upon arriving there, you need to ride a small ferry or a pump boat to take you to Romblon, Romblon.
