Village hopping in Bulusan

Three villages in one day resulted in priceless images (partly shown here). It was a trip that left me wondering why it took me so long to set foot on these wonderful local spots of my hometown. Never too late though.

First Stop: Buhang  (San Vicente)

Mapaso, Indigenous Healing ground

Rock Beach as spectacular backdrop for Mapaso

Hot waters shoot out from the low cliff's crevices to pour unto the seas, hence the name, Mapaso.


Second Stop: Bagacay (San Ramon)

This unknown mountain beauty is a serene river in the village of Bagacay.



A brief stop on our way back  from the village of Odikin  for this unexpected sight in Bagacay.



Third Stop: Odikin (Santa Barbara)

More than a century-old partnership, Karagumoy and Pili

Pili trees: magnificent as mansions in Santa Barbara

With Oya Choleng and Mabel for a souvenir shot with Santa Barbara. The Saint protects them from lightning coming from the Volcano (Bulusan) says Oya Choleng (Soledad Freo).

Sta Barbara is located around 2km from the PDZ (Permanent  Danger Zone) of Bulusan Volcano where century-old (and older) pili trees are to be found.  Photos of which to be released in my succeeding blogs.
Photographs by Alma P. Gamil (except for the last photo).
