There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. – Linda Hogan



Going back to Coron-Concepcion-Busuanga has always been in my mind. It cast a magic spell on me which somehow conjured my spirit to drift every now and then towards a paradise I have visited two years ago. Indeed unfathomable hunger for the warmth embrace of nature. A crave for Palawan.



For eight days, we were in awe. Enamored. Enchanted. Engulfed in wonderful magical sunsets. Sayang lang, I should have brought the kit lens (the widest lens I have). But nevertheless, the 28-105mm and 50mm kept me still on-the-go. This was a memorable adventure. Still give me all the best reasons why I will always choose to go to Palawan over Boracay anytime the opportunity presents itself.



Breathtaking rocks, islands, limestones.


Chirpy daily lives of Palawenians.


Plus a safari adventure.


Funny how our own people choose to visit other countries and thought they've seen better sites than what we have. But have they seen our best? Nope, I am not referring to Boracay. I said the word best right? :) The Irony of things, I heard the stories from foreign tourists who are more often in Palawan (than we do!) that “we have the best beaches, corals, and hospitality” which would be hard to find in other shores. Images below are just mere glimpse of countless beauties of Palawan. More reasons to go back there again.




Let me take this opportunity to thank Jay, Randall, Tok, Darryl, Melvs and Paolo for making this to be one of the great vacation and hardcore photography expeditions I have ever had. For the Inspiring photo exploits and “sparkling” chickaminutes. Till our next photo safari.
