A blissful summer adventure I
had in 2013. It’s in the Pacific Ocean bay of the
peninsula of Brgy. San Ildefonso, Casiguran, Province of Aurora, Philippines.
It took us almost an hour via motorboat from a seashore of Brgy. Esteves, a
barangay fronting the peninsula. Hereunder
are the photos that say it all.
Oftentimes, waterbed on this part of Pacific Ocean is calm during summertime.
It’s night time when we
got there. Some Dumagats were waiting for us. Katol, their chieftain, who drove
the motorboat to transport us, ordered them to welcome us with indigenous
lamps. Due to absence of the moonlight, the entire place was enveloped with
darkness. Only their flickering lamps could be seen from afar.
We could hardly see the
entire surrounding of that seashore.
Sun rose as early as 4:30 in the morning
Every morning while
preparing for their breakfast, the
Dumagats usually grouped themselves outside their indigenous tents. Mothers are
talking with each other while children are playing. Fathers are either cooking
for their first meal of the day or go fishing.
Stunning various rock formations accentuate the bayside
