Summer wouldn’t be summer if your closest friends aren’t there. This season is kinda special for us because the best set of friends were reunited after a year. Well, I admit, I missed them a lot because they are simply the best buddies of all time 😀 Despite of being busy on our own jobs and studies, I am so happy that we still managed to do some adventures outside Tobog and I guess we deserve this. After all the hard works on our events, this is really a must.
Cagmanaba is one of the coastal barangay in the municipality of Oas. With a population of about more or less 5000 residents, you would notice when you go there that the people are very hospitable. On our case, we are very lucky that Ate Eza knows someone from there who is the caretaker of one of the largest resort in Cagmanaba. So we didn’t encounter any problem with where to sleep and where to go and everything.
We went to Cagmanaba by public jeepney to satisfy our adventure cravings. If you plan to do this too, you have to catch the 4am to 8am trips from Polangui terminal to Cagmanaba. The next trips are from 3pm to 5pm in the afternoon. Better to catch the morning trips because you’ll gonna love the view along the road. It’s also a must to ride on the topload of the jeepney. You’ll gonna love it but good luck to the scorching heat of the sun. Cagmanaba is very travel friendly because you don’t have to ride a bangkato go to the island. You just need to walk and walk and walk 🙂 And oh I forgot, it’s more or less 3hours from Polangui terminal.
The very first photo I took using my Lumia. Jaw dropping view.
Prominent names of Cagmanaba. Conde family owns most of the islets there.
Blue days
Macho ba kami? Haha. Ate eza, where are you?
This is what I’m saying earlier that you gonna have to walk if you want to visit the islets. It’s almost a kilometer walk and better if you have swimming shoes because the rocks here are really really rocky -_- But like what I said, adventure 🙂
Touchdown, the gateway to the three islet haha
The first islet is just around 100meters from the what I called gateway and what is fun is that you gonna literally walk in the middle of the sea. Don’t worry the water is not that high. When in low tides, you can run from the gateway to the islet.
The front of islet was crowded so we decided to swim at the back and we found out that it’s more fun in there.
Ate Eza, Aljon, Winson and Ate Jo(Our guide) She’s very cool
Climbing for a dive
Oh the view
Hahaha poses
I didn’t dare to jump okay
One fun thing to do here is to let yourself pull the net together with the fishermen during sunset.. And you better do it if you don’t have something to eat for dinner.
Night life
Breakfast.. Oh so epic
Last photo that I took on the last day..
