Kalanggaman Island






Kalanggaman Island is one of the most beautiful beach and tourist destination in Palompon, Leyte, Philippines. It is famous for its crystal clear water, long sand bars, and very fine white sand. Kalanggaman Island is also known as the virgin island.

This photo was taken  after the typhoon Yolanda that is why the statue of the dolphin is not colorful and look so much presentable unlike before the typhoon devastated the area.

It has sandbar on both sides similar to the wings of a bird. Bird in cebuano means "langgam" that is why we call it Kalanggaman. There is a long sand bar at the right side of the island (when you are facing at the front of it). And it is one of the perfect place if you want to have some photo shoots.












 




 Tips:
  • Bring enough water, there is no potable water in the island.
  • You can bring foods, beverages, etc. because there is no restaurant  in the island.
  • There is no electricity in the island so better bring your power bank and if you stay overnight bring solar lamp.
  • You can bring your own tents. There is no resort in the island.
  • There are cottages for rent 
  • Clean restrooms and shower areas are available.

Cabintan, Ormoc City

Let's Explore and Discover the Beauty of Cabintan, Ormoc City

Have you ever experienced traveling in a 'bukid' where you can witness the beauty of its own? Barangay Cabintan, Ormoc City is known as the "Little Baguio" in the city of Ormoc because of its very cold temperature that fogs in the morning and also in the afternoon around 5:00-6:00pm.

Barangay Cabintan is also known as the "Vegetable Basket" of Leyte which produces a lot of vegetables and spices throughout  Leyte.


 Not only vegetables exist in Cabintan but it has also different kinds of fruits and one of this is Water Melon. It is one of the fruits that survived only in a cold temperature.

Here, I find it so relaxing, awesome, full of adventure, lots of different fruits especially vegetables that are healthy and nutritious.
