Malaki rin ang pasalamat ko sa MV Catalyn D na nakasakay ako. Kung hindi, mas matagal o mas magastos yung biyahe ko para lang makarating sa Culion galing Cuyo. norahd, ang mga barko o batel ay talagang nakakatulong ng malaki sa mga maliliit na mga pulo’t lugar na di abot sa malalaking sasakyang pandagat.

Higit sa lahat, ang mga katulad ng MV Catalyn ang mga sasakyang pandagat na naghahatid at nagdadala ng mga gamit na kailangan ng ating mga kababayan sa mga malalayong lugar. Ang mga batel ay matatawag nating mga pangsagip buhay para sa mga lugar, mga pulo, mga malilit na bayan na mukhang kinalimutan na ng mga namumuno sa ating bansa. Minsan na rin akong "sinagip" ng MV Catalyn. Sa linya na aking trabaho, kailangan kong makisalamuha sa lahat ng sector sa isang komunidad para sa maayos na pagpa-plano ng mga pamayanan. Pero,gaya ng "dati", nakialam na naman ang mga politiko. Dahil sa ayaw kong maipit sa labanan ng mga politiko kailangan tumakas ako. Salamat na lang at nandun sa pagkakataon na iyon ang MV Catalyn. Walang paa-paalam sa mga kasama ko sa trabaho, sumakay ako sa MV Catalyn pabalik sa Manila.

Now, if you're in Bohol, you should try those in Tubigon where at one point in the day, there's a bidding war on fares just to attract passengers! The Islander, well, ingon ana jud na. But it doesn't happen all the time. As long as the weather is good, then there's a bigger probability that your trip is safe. :-) Og, thanx for the visit. One down? well, there's always some other boat that will take over the route :-) Carlo, hehehe, I'm currently having my Diploma in Photojournalism in Ateneo. That answer's your questions? :-) Oman, thanx for the advice. In the end, it all boils down to your own decision if you will ride this kind of boats. Traveler on foot, ganun ba? what a big irony! you should try it :-) Nold, thanx bai Stanley, my namesake, in Cebuano, we call it "sangay." This kind of travel is way off the beaten path and an adventure in itself. Thanx for the visit guys! Dong Ho, yep, cheap and a good alternative to the more established and commercial shipping lines.

I'm still not confident with the safety. But still I like the theme and mood set in your photos. I haven’t boarded a ship, though I’ve worked for the largest shipping company in the Philippines.

It's a good alternative article. Hindi na basta basta travel feature lang... Nagiging pseudo - journalistic na dating mo Estan! That's great. I bet you can also pull off an investigative piece. Go Boy! :) ^ I agree. It’s a good alternative article. Hindi na basta basta travel feature lang… Nagiging pseudo – journalistic na dating mo Estan! That’s great.
