The Captivating Apo Reef of Mindoro - A reef diver and beach fanatic's paradise

February 15, 2014
Part 1 of Sablayan and Apo Reef Series 

It was almost the second week of February. Coming from an unusually cold January in the Philippines, the temperature suddenly spiked up one warm weekend of February. For me it was a sign that summer has bitten the country. A sad time bidding goodbye to the cold cozy weather and time to start up the year's summer season. What would be the best way to greet the season? Greet it with powdery white beach, stunning turquoise waters, magnificent underwater view and an uninhabited island away from civilization. So where could that be? Why not try it at the country's largest coral reef and world's second largest? The Apo Reef!

February 27, 2013

The Sunken Cemetery or also known as the Pasil Reef in Camiguin is a result of the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vulcan and Mt. Hibok-Hibok that pushed the cemetery below sea level. by 1982, a cross was erected by the Department of Tourism. The site possesses a great scenery which is attractive to photographers and even a movie in the Philippines used this location for filming.
