few months ago galing din kami sa coron. wala kaming underwater cam. we just brought our normal point and shoot. ok naman mga shots namin. yung guide namin s island hopping tinutulungan kami sa cam namin para d mabasa. lagay mo na lang sa plastic/waterproof case/pouch.

last time meron kami dicapac. waterproof casing. after few years bumigay na kaya di na namin nagamit. it's cheaper than buying UW cam and quite reliable naman.

sis may mga bars/resto bukas pa after 7pm. I'm not sure though what time they close pero alam ko late na rin kami nagdinner sa bistro coron.

^dalawa ang alam kong "bar" doon at pareho napuntahan ko. kasama ko kasi mga gay friends kaya gustong mag-inom :)

anyway, iyong isa ay nasa town lang, malapit sa palengke... hardrock ang name. pero chaka dito kasi para siyang beerhouse/cabaret/disco na nakikita sa kanto na may gro and all. hanggang 3am or 4am. pero kahit  na chaka siya, may mga foreigners pa din na pumunta na trip magtable ng mga girls.

iyong isa naman napuntahan namin ay subasco. i'm not sure na kung ito ang tamang name. ito na ang pinakabagong bar/resto/disco pero malayo siya sa town. if mag tric P10 each lang naman. may banda na nagplay pero noong time na nandun kami sunday tumugtog ang banda. mas sosyal at mahal naman dito kaya mas madaming foreigners ang pumupunta. hanggang madaling araw din ito open but im not sure what time.

about sa town tour, kayang kaya lakarin. sobrang liit lang talaga ng town. as in. haha! sayang ang P500 o P350 per pax para sa town tour. ang malayo lang kasi na included sa tour e iyong maquinit. pwedeng pwede naman magtricycle for P300 max of 3 at hihintayin naman kayo ng driver kahit gano pa kayo katagal. syempre no choice naman sila.

^sa tapat mismo ng subasco may mga tric na nagaabang. kung wala talagang tric at lasing na kayo at kailangan niyong maglakad, siguraduhin niyo lang na derederecho ang lakad niyo para hindi maligaw at makakabalik kayo sa town. hehe.. along the highway lang naman ang subasco :)

maraming sari sari store na nagtitinda ng alak sa town. may bakery din malapit sa palengke.

may makulit na bata na naglalako ng pilipit na tinapay bago magstart ng tour. actually simula umaga hanggang gabi, hindi ko alam kung accident o sinasadya niyang sundan at alukin kami. anyway, sa kakulitan niya, bumili na kami. sakto naman magcoral garden pala kami at need ang bread para sa fish.

i can't believe they banned several Coron sites from tourists!!! this is so terrible. i was very excited planning a trip to Coron next year. this is just so terrible. i'm very very sad.  :'(

nahirapan akong mag-research about this terrible news - after a lot of effort, this is the best that i can find: http://tripadora.com/tag/coron-closes-sites/

i just find it weird that the reason for the closure of some sites is because they want to implement a one-fee system instead of the multiple fees... i mean, hello??? can't they resolve it in such a way na makasama yung sites na yun sa single fee na yun? or the tourists could have the option to pay extra to visit those places?

i mean, it's just frustrating that they actually banned us, tourists, from visiting those sites. sana they were able to find a way to solve whatever issues they had with the multiple fees w/o resulting to the closure of those sites from tourists. frustrating.  :(

^sis keziah1219, sorry medyo weird question ha. kasi ang naka-lista na naka-ban ay Twin Lagoon - matanong lang kita, iba pa ba yung Twin Peaks? so yung Twin Peaks ba ay kasama pa rin sa itinerary niyo? gumagawa kasi ako ng itinerary namin - ayan tuloy, i'll have to remove some sites. so sad... :'(

second question: so ano na lang ang natira sa Coron Loop Tour niyo?

Ang ganda pa naman ng original itinerary ko, 4D/3N kasi kami, ito yung original:

Day 1: Coron Town Tour
- Mt. Tapyas
- Maquinit Hot Spring

Day 2: Coron Loop Tour
- Kayangan Lake
- Twin Peaks
- Twin Lagoons
- Atwayan Beach
- Banol Beach
- Skeleton Wreck

Day 3: Island Hopping
- Malcapuya Island
- Banana Island
- Bulog Dos Sand Bar

Day 4: (AM only, as in itra-try isingit bago mag-checkout)
- Coral Garden
- Lusong WWII Shipwreck

- so imagine kung ano na lang ang matitira sa Coron Loop Tour!!! Eh yun pa naman ang pinaka-highlight sana ng trip namin!!!  :'( i'm really sad. sis, pa-share naman please kung ano ang hitsura ng revised Coron Loop itinerary niyo...
