Boat Tour: Going to Anguib Beach

Moving onward with my boat tour at Sta. Ana, Cagayan! From Crocodile Island, we moved on to Anguib Beach. Ah, before we proceed any further, so you do not hesitate when you see the word "Anguib". It is pronounced as "ang-gib". Don't bother about the spelling or the presence of that letter "u". That is just how we are in this country after being colonized by Spain for more than three centuries!

And more trivia: Anguib is on mainland Luzon. Yes, Anguib Beach is not on an island. It is part of the big island of Luzon and sits at the northern tip of Sta. Ana, which is the northeastern-most town of Luzon.

So why a boat tour? Aba malay ko hehe! It was part of the itinerary so I took it. Maybe (Probably) that place was hard to reach by land in the past, so that, the locals are or have been used to going there by boat.

Anyway, it took us 32 minutes to cross the sea from Crocodile Island...

That white strip? Nah, its not yet the beach. That is a wave crashing in the middle of the sea! Yes, there is something like that, and this was my first time experiencing it. The waves rumble and crash unto the sea (not a beach) forming those foamy whites.So boats have to skirt around, instead of going straight. Maybe that portion is a shallow area.

Too near yet too far...
We were headed there, but the crashing big waves were in the way. So our boat still had to keep sailing a bit more to the left, before we could turn a sharp right, where there were no crashing waves (just big waves hehe), then sprint for the beach.

Not for the nerbyoso like me hahaha (kape pa more)!

Eto, we were past the crashing waves... mahinahon na si dagat in shallower waters...

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d...
