This is El Nido island located in the Philippines. Voted as the most beautiful island in the world in several travel sites. This particular shot was taken during the approach of the very famous Big Lagoon of El Nido.
My friends and I hang out at the rooftop of our workplace every evening. It’s kind of a daily ritual now. As devs, we get stressed all the time and get tired even if we don’t get physical activity. Being able to see this view after a hard day is quite rewarding.
Doing the Canyoneering in the Jungle of Badian was by far my fav thing about our trip to the Philippines. Nature is just mindblowing amazing, the waters are just out of this world and the adrenaline rises above the skies when you need to jump from a 13m waterfall cliff.
One of my favorite things to do in the Philippines was island hopping. Either through a guided tour or paying a privately hired boat by the docks, one is able to see the surrounding smaller islands around the various mainland islands the Philippines has to offer. In the coast of Siargao, there are three main islands - Daku, Guam, and Naked Island (featured here). Naked island as the name implies is simply just a sandbar standing on its own. It was probably my favorite island of the three since it is the most unique.

My girlfriend and I visited for the first time an almost empty zoo on a sunny Thursday morning. We strolled through the wildlife park only to be greeted by several kakapos. What’s funny is that the zoo is within the hustle and bustle of Manila, Philippines and not many visits here. This kakapo radiates color and is known to live up to a healthy age of 95. Here, it’s eating special bird food for breakfast as it perches on the wooden branch.
Apo reef - the second largest contiguous coral reef system in the world. Diving with one breath and taking underwater photos in this dive site is such an awesome experience.
I took this photo from a big ferry boat. I was approaching an island in the Philippines when all of a sudden a small fisherman boat, locally called ‘bangka’ appeared heading out into the ocean. I mostly love this photo because of its dynamic nature and the contrasting colors of the ocean and the fisherman’s clothes.

In the small surf island of Siargao, Philippines, there is a natural swimming pool that only occurs in low tide. Once the ocean recedes due to the lunar pools, a crystal blue and green hue pool emerges. Tourists and locals alike come to cliff jump into the clear water and enjoy the afternoon under the sun. I got the chance to ride a scooter to the pools and experience it myself. It was as clear as I had read in the travel blogs and as blue as the sky.

Apo Reef is a feast for the eyes of divers. It offers larger than life environment in its rawest state. Unfathomable depth, crystal clear visibility, and enchanting marine life encounters. Truly, a piece of paradise on earth.
The shot was taken last August 2018, in Masungi Georeserve in Rizal, Philippines. I took the shot around 5:30 in the morning. I was standing in the spider web like platform made with steel. I was fascinated on the view because it shows how serene and peaceful the view. It gave me relaxation from the busy life in the city of Manila. Still a lot of interesting shot that nature in the Philippines has.
Never did I expect that I would reached the boundary of the Philippines. Yes, this is at the edge of the Philippines, where some of the radio stations from Taiwan can somehow captured by the radio frequency. That’s amazing to experience. No storm can stop me from discovering more. I just keep going and stay safe.
I celebrated my birthday with my family in the island called Isla Reta. There are plenty beautiful beaches or islands in Samal area here in Davao, Philippines; but as we decided on going, at first, we didn’t planned where we’ll go. As we were on our way to the island, it was raining badly and this is why the photo has some particle effect going on, t’was because of the rain. I was so excited to take cool photos while enjoying the sun but it didn’t go as planned. Still this photo looks great though. The photo makes me feel calm. It’s nice to have a break and away from all city distractions.
While walking to the very ends of Daku Island off the south coast of Siargao Island in the Philippines. Everyone else in our small group stayed up on the hill and couldn’t be bothered to walk to the end of the island, but I am too curious not to look. And I’m so glad I did! Because as I reached the end of the track leading to the cliff side I spied this tiny little secluded cove. No idea how to get to it without a boat, but I felt like I’d struck explorer gold! I love the soft colours and pop of turquoise in this photo.
This is one of the best photos I have captured so far. In love to know the fact that seeing the sunlight reflected onto that peak of the mountain, and seeing it with my bare eyes is extra-ordinary. I always feel that I am new, relive, refresh, and restarted. Thanks for this opportunity! I am forever grateful.
One of the most beautiful mountain I’ve seen so far is Mount Ulap in Itogon, Benguet in the Philippines. Gungal Peak is its iconic rock formation which gives a remarkable scenery of its surrounding mountains.

I was in Ilocos that time, the storm is about to get angry that harsh, and since vlogging is my thing I never let that moment of mine with the waves hitting the rocky hill be ruined by that raging storm coming.
Do you know that turtles have existed on earth since 100 MYA, the era of dinosaurs and are considered to be one of the most ancient creatures. They are commonly found in warm and temperate regions worldwide. There are five species of sea turtle that can be find here in the Philippines; they are the green, loggerhead, hawksbill, olive Ridley and leatherback.
Loboc River in the island of Bohol, Philippines is popular for the river cruise where a buffet and live entertainment are on board as the boat takes you for a tour of the breathtaking green waters of the river.
Pinagbuyutan is the closest island to El Nido, Palawan. That close that you could nearly swim across from “Las Cabanas” beach. On the island there are literally no man made buildings and it’s a totally quiet peace of paradise.
Goods are often bought from the City of Tabuk and are delivered throughout the localities in the outskirts of Kalinga where people are agriculture oriented and need to work their lands.
