Postcard-Pretty Slideshow Of Catanduanes
One after the other the rumbling sound of the waves remained on a continuous loop. Each time, a blast of sea water splashes violently towards the natural pool where our group were dipped soothingly. The sight and sound may appear perilous but the magnificent rock formations jutted from underneath the sea, sheltered us safely from the torrents of the Pacific Ocean.

Palumbanes Islands And The Hidden Beach Of Bitaog
Catanduanes is mostly known for its mountainous terrains and rolling hills. In fact, the middle area of this province is idle land. In here though, we found a secluded beach that can rival other famous beaches in the country ??" Bitaog Beach in Parongpong Island, part of Palumbanes islands.
We'd first heard of Bitaog Beach from Nathan of I Dreamed of This, and we'd planned to go here last summer for an outreach event by Alon ng Pag-asa.

Summer Bucket List 5 Beaches In Luzon You May Not Know About
The Philippines is more than just Boracay!
With more than 7,000 islands, a number of white sand beaches (even pink!), and surf spots in almost every cove, the Philippines could very well be every beachlover's paradise!
