Kaye's Notes

*** Hinatuan's Enchanted River is a sight to behold.  Its crystal clear water is unbelievable. Local folks say that the river is called enchanted as its salt water for some reason flow without a visible source.  Too bad, I didn't get to take a dip on its pristine waters as we were there just for a few minutes of photo op.  I'm looking forward to the opportunity of going back , hopefully too during off season (it was summer, the place was a little crowded). You'd pass through this wooden bridge on your way to the Enchanted River. I couldn't find any signs of what the bridge is called. If you've been following my blog, you know I have a thing with bridges. Haha! Surigao del Sur's typical motor taxi (habal-habal). Mostly a bumpy ride towards the Enchanted River.  Some mobile networks signal can't reach this area. Tourists are starting to crowd by lunch time.  The parking area is about 150 meters away from the entrance. ...

*** From Coron Town Port, it would take about 3-4 hours to get to North Cay Island. Entrance fee is P200.00 per head.  You can take a lunch stop there  (given that you brought with you your lunch meals from town) or stay overnight for another fee.   Their toilet/bathrooms are functional and clean. I didn't ask how much the overnight fee was since the facilities were still under construction/renovation. North Cay Island, just like some parts of Coron were hit badly by Super typhoon Yolanda just late last year. I thought it would not do them any good if I'd take photos of the ruined cottages. Nevertheless, the island is very much still beautiful. The pristine water and long stretch of white sand beach is very inviting. But just like any beach you'd go, best to wear aqua shoes  and put on enough Sun Lotion/Sun Block Lotion. :)  Some photos taken by photographer, Sir Raphy Arcaina PS Mo...

I had the privilege to be one of the speakers to a group of college students of Mindanao University of Science and Technology specifically and majority for Playmakers (an events organizer mainly for arts) last September 8, 2013. The team building activity was vis-a-vis with the Wavemakers of Cagayan de Oro  and  Seasonz Concepts and Events. Photos of: Getting Started with Effective Teamwork (An Introduction)
