CORON ISLANDS- Mystically Treasured

From CORON, PALAWAN- Mystical Islands

Every visit to any island in the Archipelago would give you the chance to have a glimpse of NAIA- named after the slayed hero- Ninoy (Benigno) Aquino Jr. Lucky if your flight is scheduled in early morning because this scenery will surely give you the best of the sunrise treat.

As you landed the Busuanga Airport, foggy (not smog! mind you) air will greet you on your face, where the nature reminds us that this place is not as polluted as the Metros.

From guardian.co.uk
Palawan Ranks No. 4!

Says 'From deserted white sand lapped by turquoise water to wave crashing against rugged shores'.

Although Alex Garland's backpacker odyssey The Beach is set in Thailand, he took much of the inspiration for the location from the Philippines. The reason? As anyone who has been to Thailand in the last decade will tell you, the chances of founding your very own deserted island paradise in a country that has become synonymous with the backpacker superhighway are close to nil. The Philippines, on the other hand has over 7,000 islands, a fraction of the tourists and so many deserted beaches that it's easy to hire a fishing boat, sail off into the sun and create your very own "Beach".

The western island group of Palawan, which even Filipinos describe as their country's last frontier, is inconceivably exotic and tropical. It's an archipelago of jagged limestone islands with underground rivers, rocky coves, virgin rainforest and, of course, sugar-white sandy beaches. Honda Bay, which has several islets including Cannon Island, Bat Island and Starfish Island, is one of the most popular but the fun in Palawan is in discovering your own deserted stretch of sand.

A real tropical Island resort awaits us, one of our hosts. Secluded from Coron town proper, it only requires you to have a 10-minute boat transfer. Prior to that, a 45-minute land travel will be needed from Busuanga Airport to Coron town. But sceneries along the way will fill your eagerness to explore the islands.

Eat your heart out- Donald Trump. This ramp is not yet been used by any beauty pageant, even the Ms. Universe competition but the guests who have been to this paradise.

The pictureque landmark of coron. Your visit would not be complete without treking the hill the would give you this panoramic view. What's more, right behind this hill, is the Kayangan Lake. the Second cleanest lake in the Philippines.

One of the creatures that would witness your freedom to join our Mother Nature. This school of fish is so magical, never afraid of human intervention. Do not harm, because the fairy might punish you. Lol.

Sweetest moment. A couple doing their fishing for their living. So simple and yet so lovely.

Being laid back is being untouched. The great escape from the wild and bustlig cities. These people are caretakers of the Kayangan Lake. They are friendly, don't worry!
