My Experience at Puerto Galera Philippines


Travelling has been my first love and I haven't been doing it for the longest time. Travelling for me means that I always have the chance to experience whatever the place has to offer. Travelling would give me the chance to indulge to the place wonderful cultural experience to the wonders of its eco-tourism plus of course shopping.


My comfort zone is the northern part of the Philippines and last summer I had the chance to explore the southern part of the Philippines. Summer of course is the heaviest season to go travelling when the raining in the Philippines subsides.

Excited as the other tourist, I packed my clothes and started to be a lonely traveler (lone back packer). Along with me is the reviews of the other travelers that others have experience. Excited and definitely thrilled with the idea of going places. I boarded an air conditioned bus at Gil Puyat Avenue formerly known as Buendia. The bus fare would cost you at least Php 200 and goes straight to Batangas Port.

TRANSPORTATION

Once you are in Batangas Port, locate the ticketing area bound for Puerto Gallera. It has 4 major entry points namely White Sand, Sabang Pier, Muelle Pier, and Balatero Pier. I suggest you take the White Sand  as that is where I always choose plus it is where the fun is.

Ferry would cost you at least Php 250 (one way) plus environmental fee of Php 50 and Php 30 terminal fee. The first ferry will leave Batangas Pier at around 7:30 AM and the next ferries will leave every hour thereafter until 5:00 PM.

WHERE TO STAY

During peak season, it is definitely very difficult to find a place to stay. Most of the time it is fully booked. When I went there on a summer I almost ended up sleeping in the sand. In times like peak season, I suggest you book online here and make sure that you go there at your earliest possible time. Also, in any case that there you haven't booked online ask the tour guides as there are houses who offer a room at a cheaper price (not air conditioned though)

So for me, Kubo sa Bakawan was my favorite hostels. Friendly and very accomodating owner plus the capability to cook your own food and videoke. If you want to book and reserve in advance please call +639397962232 or +2-861-1225

The Activities

I am exhausted on my first day from the trip to looking for accommodation. But nothing beats the sunset in an island so beautiful like Puerto Galera.

Sunset by the bay
Of course touring with no car is apparently difficult. And a motorcycle comes in handy and it is easier to go around. Its faster and easier to go around the area. I suggest you ask the tour guides that is present almost everywhere where to rent a motorcycle. Its relatively cheaper.


Night party is also a good deal. I call it party by the beach with fire dancers and a lot of performers at night. If party near the beach is your kind of thing then you can stay at White Sand Beach and wait for night fall for the party to begin. If you prefer to go on disco houses you'll have to ride all the way to Sabang and experience their live bands and a lot more.

Or ride a motorcycle all the way from White Sand Beach to Baklayan and ride all the way to the rough roads to the top of the mountain top to have breath of fresh air and also a view of the majestic site of the beach and the Mangyan Village along the way too.

Another exciting activity is snorkeling. I am in love with snorkeling. It made me think of buying a water resistant camera. I would suggest that you talk to the tourist guides to add you in a group who will be going on snorkeling and island hoping. It's cheaper this way as you dont have to rent the whole boat and pay the tour guide all by yourself.

Snorkeling includes a view of the coral garden, underwater cave and giant clams the tour package is pretty standard at Php 1500 to Php 2500 per big boat and I would suggest that you tag along other groups to bring the price per person down. Once you are there a smaller boat would ask for you, you can either reject or accept them to bring you to a more shallower areas where you could see more they'll charge you with Php 100 per person for the smaller boats.


I will never leave a place without tasting something unique. That makes it memorable and fun.

Eating Sea Urchin - Php 20 per piece
Meat of the Sea Urchin
Kissing the Sea Urchin before eating
Note though that not all sea urchins can be eaten.

After eating sea urchin, it is time to visit the underwater cave. Its fun and its thrilling to play on a shallow sea water in a cave.

Underwater Cave
Part of the water adventure is the banana boat ride. 1 banana boat is equivalent to 10 participants. So if you are a lone backpacker just like me then you might as well ask the guide to add you with the other tourist who lacks the number.
Banana Boat Ride Php 200 per person
Another must see is the Tamaraw Falls and to swim in a fresh water free flowing pool at the foot of the falls. Its definitely new.

OBSERVATION

In general, my experience at Puerto Galera is definitely awesome. However, since I went there on a peak season,  where there are more shows and more people partying Tour guides, food, hotels, goods in the market even the fish is totally too expensive plus everyone is rushing including rushing to end your tour with them. That's what happen when I went island hoping, the tour guide complains and wanted to bring us back to our point of origin. When I ordered food in the resto, it takes longer than the usual serving time. I ordered special halo halo but I when it arrived the ice melts already. The food server looks exhausted and unfriendly, I am expecting them to be more lively as they are gays. The hotel owner though of Bakayawan Hotel is totally friendly and accommodating. So I suggest going to Puerto Gallera is better during Off Peak where generally the price are better and hotels are not fully booked plus maybe the food servers are friendlier.

MY TOP PICKS ON BEST DRESS AT SONA 2014

Once again, the time has come to the most celebrated day in the Congress and Senate where they flare their well designed gowns from different reputable fashion designers and or their respective top pics gowns. Definitely this year is no excuse for these politicians and their family member to flaunt.

SONA has been an avenue for these politicians to walk down the red carpet and show off their well desired gowns and walk the flame of their fame. They spend thousands just for these event either rented or owned. Nonetheless, it has been proven that the politics has been a battlefield and playground of the elite.

This year I have chosen four best dress that tops my lists and of course the top worst dress too.

So lets start with my top picks...

Ms. Heart Evangelista and Senator Chiz Ezcudero

I adore Ms Heart Evangelista choice of elegant and sophisticated white gown. It is fashionable and definitely stunning as it captures her curvacious body and flaunt her elegant sweet Angelic face. Her Filipiniana is definitely tops the bill.

Ms Kris Aquino - Presidential Sister

Ms. Kris Aquino combines color and bring her elegance on that yellow and black Filipiniana inspired gown.

Ms. Loren Legarda

Ms. Loren Legarda flaunts the elegance of tribal dress whith her boldness to show the truest beauty of the tribes of the Philippine society makes it count to be on that top list. Inexpensive gown but definitely a representation of the minority is totally remarkable. She has represented in many ways the minority by simply wearing that traditional dress. Though it is a fusion the thought of proudly wearing it is remarkable.

Ms. Elvira Echauz
Elvira Echauz definitely gives justice to the Igorot inspired Filipiniana and flaunt it perfectly with the simplicity of her make up. It gives her the flare of the Filipina look. She has indeed proven that the hand weaved fabric and design from the north can make it to the mainstream still classy and sophisticated yet simply and elegant look.

And of course I also have chosen the worst dress for the said event.

I myself is totally disappointed with the dress of Nancy Binay. She looks gargantuan and looks like a lady dragon in the circus areana. Though politics is definitely a circus arena but it doesnt need to be in flaunt in the SONA RED CARPET showdown.

Risa Hontiveros in her black gown topped with barong tagalog is a fusion disaster. The boyish look is definitely not working on her as she is known with her scarf which really worked perfectly on her but not on this specially played long gown boyish inspired look.

Lani Mercado-Revilla's safe little black dress topped with short sleeved hand woven fabric from Benguet Province. Definitely she's safe in wearing that dress however, I am putting her as one of the worst dress because I expected too much from here to be walking down the red carpet with her usual flamboyant entrance. It looks to me as if she's making a statement despite controversies her husband has been put into.

Mommy D's saggala costume made it to the red carpet too. Mommy D, unintentional maybe but she stormed the SONA Red Carpet drama when she made the grand entrance for being the last personality to arrive. I was expecting her a Randy Ortiz creation but not expecting her to have the fusion of a wedding gown and the details of Santa Cruzan costumes. She should have just wore some native dress and make her entrance with such class and elegance. I love her bag though and her hair simple but customary elegant.

Though I always believed that politicians should be wearing decent attires as they represent the countries look, I also believe that it should be inexpensive. The dresses should have been a little cheaper but presentable. It doesn't need to be more than a hundred thousand.

Devina Dediva: The Un-celebrated Girl Says Sorry in Twitter

Devina Dediva of course is a well known name for most Filipinos for her comment against Miss World 2013 and of course to the netizens of the Philippine Republic. She was also denied by Manchester University as the university posted in their facebook status that they don't know her nor she is a student or an alumna of the said school.


The reason why I kept coming back on her facebook wall is of course to see if she continues to hate the Filipino people by working as a maid or a cleaner. However, I guess Facebook too found out that the comment is foul, below the belt and offensive.

I love the culture of India. At some point I even wished I had a chance to learn their dance, their food and their language (this is still true to date) I even wanted to visit their country because of what I have seen in National Geographic.

After this incident, I heard that she was fired at the school where she is working. Of course I feel sorry for her because she has lost her job. Then I also heard she is now facing criminal charges for racism.

Filipinos acted on the situation and deserted Devina Sharma or popularly known as Devina Dediva in social network, I myself had reported her in Facebook and sent her a message hoping she would revert back and say sorry to what she has said.

Until today I just found out that there's these twitter account with her statement saying sorry:

"Im so sorry @meganbata and to all the Filipinos out there. Sorry. I don't have a twitter account so I made one just to show my apology. India"

If these is truly Miss Dediva then I accept her apology. It's good that she sincerely asks for forgiveness and that she is sorry for what she has done. She made a mistake in social networking site and still asks sorry as well in social networking sites.

Am sure it wont be an easy patch for her. There were thousands or even millions of Filipinos who were hurt by an unjust and degrading comment and maybe until now there are still thousands or even millions who hates her despite apology. Well I guess it is human nature so my advise to Miss Dediva is move on, stop tweeting anything that can link your statement to what she has previously posted as a facebook status and in due time am sure no one will bother her anymore.

I hope that someday there'd be harmony between Ms Dediva and the whole Filipino populace because hating each other wont do any good to both sides. She said she is sorry so the right response I think is to accept the appology. However, there are times that we need to show we really are sorry before thousands would finally accept it.

I have forgiven Miss Dediva for what she has said against us (Filipino People) and hope the rest will. I also hope she finds a job too.

Here's what Miss Dediva has tweeted. (Hoping this is really her)

She'll have to face the consequence of her own action.But an apology is the best way to start it right.



Spread peace and love everyone! Let's learn each others culture and accept and forgive each others downfalls.

"LOVE LOVE LOVE" (Mala Kris Aquino tone)
