SaltyBug’s Guide to Siquijor

Siquijor, island of mystical beauty. That is how it was described once, long ago and it’s true. Rolling green mountains, cascading waterfalls, and some of the friendliest people I’ve come across here in the Philippines.
Modessa Island, Palawan

Tablas Island is the largest island in the province of Romblon here in the Philippines, and another ‘waiting to be discovered’ jewel in this area. What you will find when you get there are white sand beaches with crystal clear turquoise waters. It is gorgeous.

Finding our way
It is Easter and most of Manila shuts down during these few days. It is a good time for reflection and just taking some time out to catch our breath.
