Von der Stadt Surigao war ich bloss noch 2 Fährenstunden von Siargao entfernt. Am kleinen Hafen angekommen fuhr ich mit einem Tricycle weiter bis nach General Luna. Ein Hotel konnte ich vorher nicht buchen, da es im Internet praktisch keine freien Zimmer mehr gab. Ich sah jedoch Bilder eines Hostels das mir sehr entsprach und dorthin brachte mich der Tricylce Fahrer dann auch. Und tatsächlich, es gab eine Stunde zuvor eine Stornierung, ich konnte also sogleich einen 3er Schlag für mich alleine haben. Das Guesthouse wird vom 2 Frauen geführt, einer Schweizerin und einer Norwegerin. Gleich für den nächsten Tag konnte eine Island hopping Tour buchen. Ich kam ein erstes Mal vom Hostel bewusst an der Cloud 9 vorbei (der Surfer Hotspot auf Siargao) weiter nach General Luna (dem Städtchen neben der Touristengegend) an das Pier. ... read more

Once again, it was Lenten season, time to recharge physically, emotionally and spiritually. Since we need a serene place to reflect and relax as well, we decided to spend our vacation somewhere in an island. Camiguin is off the list, and so with Dakak (it's not an island anyway). Then finally, decided to try the Surfing capital of the Philippines. Just thinking about the long trip, it made my mind exhausted but we were too excited to reach the surfer's paradise. We take an aircon Bachelor bus at the Cagayan de Oro Agora Integrated bus terminal around 5p.m., with fare of Php367 all the way to Butuan City for almost 5 hours. Reaching Butuan at 10p.m. we take our late dinner on a nearby eatery while waiting for scheduled bus trip to Surigao City at 1a.m. ... read more

This is my second time around in Siargao Islands, and again it's all because of work. After doing our official business, me and my colleagues from the Department of Health headed to the Cloud 9 Resort where the Surfing Competition every September is held. Though, it's only December but the waves are already awesome. I can say that there's much more to see comes September. We just look around, lots of locals and foreign nationals surfing with the waves. I enjoyed watching them and how i'd wish i know how to surf. Next day, we went back to Surigao City and the weather is fine. We had a smooth sailing trip back to Surigao City. Will i still go back to Siargao Islands? Have witnessed those great waves, definitely YES, and wish it will be in ... read more

Official travels usually brought me to places i think i wouldn't have the chance to visit if it will just be a regular vacation/ travel. Whooaaa! The Province of Surigao del Norte requested for technical assistance from our office for the upgrading of an Island Hospital which is the Siargao District Hospital. And i am just lucky maybe that i am in-charge of the CARAGA Region. All set and it's June 30 to July 4, official business trip with my officemate to assist me aside from our CHD Engineer. PAL is our official airline and we landed at Butuan City airport. Headed to Surigao City for an early morning meeting with Provincial Governor Barbers. The next day, July 2, at 5:00 in the morning, we left at the Surigao City port riding a pump boat. It's ... read more
