Spending summer with friends makes it more memorable
ORIENTAL MINDORO

The inverted-J-shaped Oriental Mindoro is endowed with some of the Philippine Islands' best nature escapes. Choose your own beach among the many that abound, from fawn beige to powdery white. Then match the experience with interesting mountain lairs, lakes, rivers, rain forests, wild animals, rare flora and fauna, and pocket communities of the existing ethnic groups. It has maintained its unspoiled environment, all within a rustic agricultural setting.

The province's foremost asset is Puerto Galera, blessed with one of the world's most beautiful natural harbors. Known as the Pearl of Mindoro, it is world-famous for splendid beaches, coral reefs, and exquisite dive sites for new and and experienced divers alike. There are shallow coral gardens, interesting rock formations, and colorful species to watch, like crabs, shrimps, sea anemones, moray, and trumpet fishes.

It was my friend's (Danna) 19th birthday and she invited us to spend the summer at her hometown Mindoro. It was just a short stay because I told my mom and dad that i'll be staying at Antipolo. Knowing my parents, they wouldn't allow me to go on a trip that far... alone.... with my friends.

So, i decided to use the time

Though the current was strong, we were still able to put our smiles on
enjoying and unwinding the weekend while when i get back home, mom's gonna throw me out of the house.

Despite everything, i'd still choose to go back to Mindoro and take pleasure of the scenery and tranquility. People in Mindoro are disciplined, friendly and hospitable. If I choose to go alone, i would definitely not feel lonely since Mangyan are sociable and welcoming. I could say that it really is more fun in Mindoro
