💡 Tips

  • Enjoy the cool nights; thanks to the proximity to Mt. Mantalingahan, it is often much fresher here than in other coastal towns.
  • Use tricycles for short trips around the village, as they are the primary and most convenient mode of local transport.
  • This is a handy stopover before heading further south to the Balabac archipelago; stock up on essentials here.
  • Carry enough cash with you at all times, as ATMs in this region are limited and can be unreliable.
