Since Gota Beach beach and its surrounding areas are closed due to “massive development” we had to search for a different spot to camp during our ocular inspection trip about a month ago. Fifteen hours after the traffic at EDSA, we finally dipped our feet in the clear waters of Sitio Manlawi, Lahuy Island. This time, we were blessed with spectacular weather and a fairly interesting sunset.

Sa Wakas, Dagat

Sitio Manlawi is actually a huge cove with clear, shallow waters that’s perfect for swimming. After eating lunch, almost everybody dove into the cool waters.

There are a few families, mostly fisherfolk, living on the Sitio. Here, a boy gamely poses for the camera.

Cool Off

We thought we’d have an uninteresting sunset but suddenly, all these colors sprung from behind the hills.

Explosions In The Sky

After this, the whole campsite was enveloped in a cloud of drunken stupor brought about by an overflowing supply of Ginebra San Miguel.

Good times.
