One of the perks of being in development work is the chance to move around the country. For the past 8 years, I have been going in and out of Mindanao, particularly Davao, Zamboanga Peninsula, CDO, etc. I only regret now that I have not blogged earlier. The good thing, however, was that I was able to document my travels through photos, which allowed me to share my travels to family and friends. Some of them are stored in my Flickr account, and this includes the pristine and beatiful Selinog Island, off the coast of Dapitan.
It was just a photo, and my friends were immediately captivated by its rustic beauty. Although I have not been to many beaches in the country, I would say that, Selinog Island, is one of the the best. Even the famous Boracay Island could not compare to its pristine and crystal-clear water (my apologies for Bora fans…). The downside, however, is that the island does not have fresh water and the community depends only on rainwater. During the summer months, they have to fetch water either from Dapitan City or the nearby Apo Island in Negros Oriental.
Since I am honored to be part of Mindanao Bloggers, I deem it just right to feature Selinog Island in my introductory contribution. Know more about me and see more photos of Selinog Island in my blog.
Post Script: Blogie and the rest of the gang, thanks for making me part of the Mindanao bloggers! It is an honor to be a contributor of this blogsite!
