It is no longer the dreadful place of "the living dead" but a community that is hopeful, quiet, resilient and hospitable. The serenity and beauty of the place plus the friendly residents are so inviting and keeps me clamoring for more. It is a long way from New York City but I always go back. Nice work!

Culion's no longer a leprosy island but one of the few destinations around palawan that is being promoted for tourism. this was featured in Catherine de Castro’s show in ABSCBN, Trip na Trip.
