It’s my first time to visit Bohol and witness this amazing Man-Made Mahogany Forest. It is a 2 kilometer stretch of a located on the border of Loboc and Bilar towns. It’s really a beautiful backdrop for pictures. Upon entering the forest, one can feel a sudden change in temperature, refreshing cool breeze under the overhanging trees.  The forest plays as a host to the visitors who are heading to the famous Chocolate Hills. #bohol #philippines #manmadeforest #travel #wheninbohol #forest #nature #loboc #wanderlust #itsmorefuninthephilippines #travelphotography #travelgram #green #adventure #island #photography #traveltogether #exploreph #roamingaround #thankfulandblessed #pinasfeels #beholdbohol #iphoneography #trees #islandlife #holidaymemories #treasuredmemories #boholvacay #instatravel #road (at Man-made Forest, Bilar, Bohol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJee1QnYwp/?igshid=1fadkdbj9qtgx

🔝🤩👌 Reposted from @vitadasirena (@get_regrann) - "She was fierce, she was strong, she wasn't simple. She was crazy and sometimes she barely slept. She always had something to say. She had flaws and that was ok. And when she was down, she got right back up. She was a beast in her own way, but one idea described her best... She was unstoppable and she took anything she wanted with a smile." 👌 R.M.

Having explored many parts to the island of #siargao, this spot in the Maasin River particularly blew me away as it showcased the infinite amount of palm trees that make up this beautiful island 🍃🌴•Shot with a @djiglobal #Mavic2Pro 📸.....#itsmorefuninthephilippines#philippines #siargao #travelstoriesph #exploreph #sinopinas #exploreasia #fromwhereidrone #polarpro #visualsofearth #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places  #doyoutravel #fantastic_earth #exploretocreate #visualsoflife #justgoshoot #lensbible #artofvisuals #createexplore #illgrammers #amazingplaces #worlderlust #earthpix #awesomeearth #djiglobal #womenwhodrone

BATANES: Sabtang Tour

I woke up early and waited thirty minutes before call time because I was so excited for the Sabtang tour. According to Ate Kris and Ate Emy, Sabtang tour will be memorable if I get to experience the rough waves between Batan and Sabtang where the currents and the winds of the West Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean clashes. The island is one of the three inhabited islands of Batanes. Kuya Art, our tour guide, said that it is more beautiful and breath-taking than the views of Batan because of its rustic look, well-preserved stone houses, very welcoming and friendly people and traditions as old as time. It is accessible by a faluwa boat with no outriggers (katig) (some people likened it to Noah’s ark). Some tourists opt to stay for a night but according to our guide, we can see the tourist spots in a day.

Our van arrived at Ivana Port by 6:45 AM. Boats depart early and leave Sabtang at noon time because according to the locals, waves can be frightening and dangerous if people travel after noontime. At Ivana Port, tour guides register their tourists. Life jackets are also distributed. A faluwa boat can accommodate fifty to a hundred tourists. It was a thirty-minute ride from Batan. During our travel to Sabtang, the sea is calm and there were only few and small splashes of waves but there were dark clouds looming miles away from the Batan. Arriving at Sabtang Port, we were welcomed by a clean port with tricycles around the area calling for solo travelers.

Sabtang Port and Lighthouse

The first thing that I saw when we arrived at Sabtang Port is the Sabtang lighthouse stood majestically on a hill overlooking the sea. The dark clouds from afar gave a beautiful background but frightening warning to travelers that we’ll face rough seas later. Below it is a little stretch of sandy white beach and a crashing waves at the cliff’s rock formation. The lighthouse is another trademark of  Batanes’ stone masonry.

The port was busy with the arrival of tourists. More faluwas are coming and boatmen were busy parking the boats to the port. I was thinking about how the boats are transported to Sabtang since there are no bigger boats in the province. According to Kuya Art, two faluwa boats travel side by side that transport van to Sabtang. I was in awe of how people do it to think that the transport will surely endure the unexpected change of weather.

Chavayan Village and Stone Houses

We then proceeded to the van waiting for us that will tour us around the island. Since there are many tourists who will eventually compete with us in pictorial, we decided to visit first the farthest side in the island, the Chavayan Village and Stone Houses. When we arrived, we found one of the elders who make vakul (headgear) for women and kanayi (vest) for men made from shredded voyavoy leaves or Philippine palm dates. These costumes are used for the farming and fishing season in Batanes.Family

We were welcomed with a signage at the center of the village. From here, the stone houses built against strong typhoons stood the test of time. The stone houses symbolize Ivatan’s strength and resiliency. Walking around the place seems like a living museum. I happened to enter one of the stone houses where Coco Martin and Toni Gonzaga had their movie shoot (I don’t know the title because I am not a fan of mainstream movies. Katkat just told me about it). I also had a photo with the owner of the house.

As we walked around, I saw the women preparing uved and leaves which serve as the plate. There’s a renovation of a stone house in the area and the women are preparing lunch for men. According to Kuya Art, laborers are not paid by cash. Instead, they are treated to a sumptuous lunch which is a form of bayanihan for them.

Chamantad and Tinyan Viewpoint

Our next destination is the Chamantad and Tinyan Viewpoint. This is the popular destination in Sabtang, breathtakingly beautiful. There are stores at the roadside where tourists can buy their souvenirs. It was a difficult walk going down before seeing the beaches on the far view and on the highest point of the place because of the strong and cold winds. Drizzles started to assault us too. I felt like tripping down to the cliff if I tried going to the top but most of the tourists are unstoppable dispersing to the different picturesque areas of the site.

The viewpoint is another breathtaking moment for me. I had no decent photos with the view because I spent most of the time trying to balance myself during the strong wind and sitting down just to appreciate the beauty of the place. there’s the highest viewpoint where tourists can view the sea and the mountains. Below the viewpoint is a short stretch of white sand beach disturbed by the roaring waves. There are limestone formations and cliffs, too. So on a windy and rainy day, tourists have to be careful.

The stores are perfect for an exhausting view of watching. They serve food on an affordable amount. I was too tired fighting the winds and running back to the top of the road and buko juice is perfect to freshen and fuel me up.

Nakabuang Arch

We also visited Savidug Village, another place where stone houses are located and the St. Thomas Aquinas chapel. Our last destination is Nakabuang Arch. It is a rocky arch perfect for backdrop among tourists who want to have their photo. the beach is so far the best and swimmable. The sand is fine and white. We ate our lunch before heading back to Basco.
