GAAAH, I’ve only managed to post one entry for May and it
irks the hell out of me. May was the busiest month for me so far, and not just
because of my birthday, but also because of the several events and summer
outings I had to setup and attend. I also hosted our company’s summer outing
which is why work has been hectic as hell. Anyway, I know it’s the rainy season
but I would love to share one more destination you may be able to squeeze in
before summer ends!
I recently saw a meme on Facebook saying most people
probably don’t have vacation leaves anymore because of all the beach trips they’ve
had throughout summer, lol. Hopefully, you guys still have some left for my
next destination is not to be missed! I took this trip last year and sorely
forgot about posting it because I was too busy with my new relationship, haha! Disclaimer
: this set contains more awkward photos of myself than the place we stayed in. Just
putting it out there, in case you came here expecting mostly photos of the
place, hehe.
Magalawa is an island lying 6 km northwest of Poblacion.
Surrounding the island is the China Sea. Beyond the north is the San Salvador
Island of Masinloc and on the east is Sitio Luan, Lipay. It is known for
beautiful beaches. Magalawa is 56 hectares in area. Magalawa Island is now one
of the newest tourist destinations in Zambales. An eco-tourism resort, Magalawa
Island Armada Resort, a privately owned resort, has been developed since 2009
and now continually on its rise with its back to basic and nature trip
settings. Just recently, to be able to provide and generate livelihood to the
island community, management of the Armada Resort have come up with packages
which include meals, snorkeling, rafting, boat riding, mangrove trekking. These
help the community in providing livelihood and help generate income for its
barangay and municipality. (via)
