Coron: A Paradise within the Paradise :The Last Frontier

-

       
   If there is a place in Palawan that I will never get tired of going back it is no other than CORON and yes to this beautiful and un-polluted place most especially the islands within the place that surrounds the majestic place set  for Gods and Goddesses. The  crystal clear water defines the beauty that nature bestowed upon us, the  friendly people and  sumptuous food that perfectly sits  in my heart and in my mind, how can I ever forget the place  where I left my heart? Whatever happens  to Coron, stays in Coron, but mind you, I cannot  stop spreading the  good memories, fun and laughter that we had and nothing in between.

The first time I set foot to Coron my world stop like a time freeze in a milliseconds then I realized that this is a dream come true. Busuanga  airport is not a  first class but  it serves the purpose   of serving the the Coron and its tourist and most importantly the IN and Out from Coron to Manila and  other parts of Palawan. Roads are impressive and the majestic  mountains covered with  lush green trees- it only means that locals  were protected by their God who oversees them.

One of the few scenery and landscape crafted in God's  hands, beautiful and calm.

Coron is a place that is not easy to reach in a sense of distance, time and money but if there is a will there is a way as saying goes and this place has  so much to offer, like food, landscapes, beaches and friendly  locals. Fresh and cool air  touches  my  skin as I set foot and  my mind  was in relax  mood  yet my heart goes whoops!

.

Food  where my heart is.  Nothing beats  the fresh, bountiful harvest  bestowed by the nature.

The Boss and the crew. Tired of the activities all day long. Time to fill our  tummy with sumptuous food-dinner. Waiting game :)

Mt. Tapyas is one of the tourist spot that every visitors cannot surely miss. This is located   right in the center of  Coron Town  proper. Depending where your hotel is, this is  just  within  100 meters or less. A walking distance uphill before reaching the cemented stairs. With a total of 800 plus footsteps before reaching the summit is something a challenge for everyone especially those to who carry extra weight. But hey, it is fun and fulfilling once you reach the summit where you can see the beauty of the nature overlooking the island and the  blue sea  water  that touches the sun in a deep blue sky.Hiking usually takes around 45 minutes depending on how fast you walk. Two my colleagues posed just below the huge  iron Cross situated on the top of  Mt. Tapyas. Below is the  entrance  in going to Mt. Tapyas.



   *****************************************************************

The  summit  of the  Mt. Tapyas is soothing to the skin, mind and soul. Once you are on the peak the time stop and a sudden freeze of your noisy and crazy life, it is like going back to the time that jobs and money does not exist inside your mind, the hustle and bustle of city life has been erased momentarily and all you need is to seize the day.

Coron untouched nature gives an immense pleasure not only in the eyes of everyone who visited the place but it also nourishes our soul the beauty of nature bestowed on us. A God –given gift for humanity. The road improvement is in progress.

This will always be a constant reminder. A place that captured my heart.

The overall experience in Coron is unforgettable and memorable. From my bucket list it was  indeed a fulfillment. As of this writing, I cannot help but think of going back in Coron and why not? Money is nothing compared to experience and learning. Yes indeed, Coron is a paradise within the Paradise. Created with incomparable beauty that sets to capture one’s heart like mine and let alone my soul live in the presence of heaven that I experienced. The food, the warm smile, friendly people, sumptuous food and  those  motorcycle with no plate number ( yes, plate number is not required, No crimes and beautiful community). The Maquinit  Hot spring that warm water is  good for relaxation, I do not have the  pictures while staying in Maquinit spring(How to get there: From Busuanga Airport, ride a van to Coron Town Proper then take a 30-minute tricycle-ride to Maquinit (P300-P400, two-way). Where to Stay: Maquinit is open from 8 AM to 8 PM only; therefore, staying overnight is highly unlikely. Find affordable inns and hotels in the town proper of Coron instead). The road condition is not good where usually the  fare will cost a little high due to road  condition. Having said that, I am still having a day dream.  Until then!

    On November 16, 2024, the Lipa Photography Circle (LPC) held its second Fashion Event at the Solano Hotel in Lipa City. The event was originally conceived by NOEL LORETO, the founding president of Lipa Photography Circle, and his co-founder, VAN AMADA, with the help and support of the LPC members—the photographers. The first event was held last August 2024 at BIG BEN COMPLEX and was successful with precise execution. Lipa Photography Circle's decision to hold an event is an effort to bring local artists and or talents together with local designers to showcase their skills in the field of fashion across Batangas, which LPC breaks away from the traditional photo shoot.
