I was on assignment in Calayan Island in the Babuyanes and in between, I got to enjoy this piece of paradise this part of the Philippines. It’s so out of the way, with travel very much dependent on the status of the Babuyan Channel where for most part of the year, can be very trecherous. Couple this with uncertain travel days and you’ve got a place that is so off the beaten path.
Fortunately, my former company where I worked for quite a number of years contacted me if I want to visit the place and cover (photograph and write about) their program in Calayan and, without hesitation, I said yes. It was an opportunity to finally realize my dream of visiting the Babuyanes, where so few bloggers have gone to.
It’s not an easy travel, for both ways. But once you’re there and get to visit Cibang Cove, just be prepared to be enthralled and enchanted. For a few days, I was there. One of the most unforgettable moments of my traveling life.
Way off the beaten path indeed. More pictures please 🙂
@marky, succeeding posts 🙂
=> hi sir, I am really an avid fan of your blog and I can’t prevent my self from not commenting, hehehe… It is just so amazing that you travel because of work. That’s my dream job! And Calayan! OH God! Really wanna go here “if only” I have the means. hehe..
Well worth it naman pala yung sunburn eh. hehe.
=> P.S. Sir I hope you don’t mind but I just want to ask if you are using the wordpress platform?

GREAT! though it’s not easy to travel but it’s feel great to get that way. Awesome Trip. Want to visit Calayan and Dalupiri, and waqnt to feel the same you.
@paul, thanx for the comment. I saw Dalupiri and it is mainly deforested. I’m more inclined to visit Babuyan Claro and Camiguin Norte 🙂
