There are so many places in the Philippines that never cease to surprise and to astound.  One of these is Guiuan, in Eastern Samar, a sliver of land right at the junction between Leyte Gulf and the Philippines Sea.  Guiuan is a diamond in the rough.  The place isn’t a mainstay in any ordinary traveller’s bucket list but the presence of Guiuan in that quintessential list is what sets the neophytes and the explorers apart.

Anawangin Cove is a landscape of stark contrasts. Just as you have feasted your eyes on a fine stretch of pristine sand embracing the deep blueness of the South China Sea, you will be surprised to find not coconut trees but a vast forest of agoho trees—keen doppelgangers of pine trees—rising from the shoreline and spreading out into a think, feathery forest reaching as far as the foot of the surrounding rust-colored peaks of Mt. Pundaquit.

Those who believe that Boracay’s White Beach is the best piece of bone-white beach in the Philippines have never laid their eyes on El Nido.  Bounded by jagged limestone cliffs and hanging gardens of lush green foliage, the tiny town of El Nido located a good 238 kilometers north of Palawan’s capital, Puerto Princesa, is a soul-searcher’s paradise.

If mainland Palawan was the Queen of the Philippine Islands for its breathtaking beauty stretching from end to end, the Calamianes Islands scattered on the northernmost tip would be the crown.  From Coron to Busuanga to Culion, Cuyo and the Quinublan Group, the island group off the northernmost tip of mainland Palawan is a receptacle of blue lagoons and calm waters perfect for kite surfing and wreck diving.

Ayaw ni Jun na magaya ang comedian kay Onemig Bondoc na tinitira ngayon dahil sa mga binitiwang salita laban kay Angelica.

Tama si Jun na kahit si Angelica pa ang mali, si Phillip pa rin ang lalabas na masama sa mata ng mga tao. Hindi rin daw tatanggapin ng tao ang excuse na bading si Phillip kaya, nakikipag-away sa babae. Nagbiro nga si Jun na kundi susunod sa kanya ang alaga’y bibitiwan niya ito.

Lumabas sa survey na mataas lang sila noong first 30 minutes ng coverage, ibig sabihin naglipat ng istasyon ang mga tao.
