Paradise Found: Pamilacan Island Escape

Hey guys, today I would like to share my first-time experience—the beauty of Pamilacan Island paradise.

This plan started last year when our D-group, together with one of our youth who worked here in Pamilacan, had a great bonding time by the ocean. We talked about this island, prayed, and planned this trip—so here we are, finally experiencing the most awaited moment.

We traveled at 5:00 a.m. and arrived in Baclayon by 6:30 a.m., where the pump boat we were about to ride was already waiting for us.

Together with these two cute girlies Zaila and Mech. We we're at the back of the pick up car and I really enjoyed our trip especially witnessing the beautiful sunrise.

The trip has began!

and after an hour of travel we are nearby on our destination and what amazes me is the kind of very clear water, it really surprises all the more even if we have not really arrived at the very place. AWESOME!

Smile of success, praise God. I am so very excited to explore the Island.

As we arrived at our rented room, everyone takes a rest, while I was sitting on a chair with the table in front of this beautiful view of the ocean and every boat that tells their different stories. RELAXATION TIME!

After we arrived around 8:00 a.m., we took some time to rest—some of us napped while others had their ‘beauty rest.’ “I also took the opportunity to capture a photo of the Pamilacan Watchtower—a 200-year-old fort built during the Spanish colonial period.
I felt so proud and honored to witness it in the present moment.

Our plan for the afternoon is to walk by the Island and explore the place, visits Alboy's workplace (one of the youth who worked here in the Island) and discover the beauty of the island on the other side of it.

While walking around the island, we came across a souvenir welcome area. It looked amazing—too bad there was no one around.

As we walked by, we passed the place where Alboy works—the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), which manages the country’s main power grid and delivers electricity to distribution companies like BOHECO.

While we were walking, we saw two kids smiling and waving at us. A little later, they came back and gave us flowers—a simple but genuine gesture of love. They were so adorable!

This is Jinebibe and I looking beautifully with the beautiful flowers given by those two adorable kids.

Moving forward on our walk, we were almost there. This part of the island was wide and open—it reminded me of the countryside back home, but it felt different. The view here was something else, with a long stretch of shoreline and beautiful white sand.

While walking around, we discovered an area with a very deep well, where I saw a girl fetching water for her laundry. Looking closer, it felt just like a scene from a movie—but this was real. Phew, what an amazing island!

A simple walk through the beauty around me captures the very heart of this moment—the most genuine smile I can share.

Taken with a different camera and by a different photographer, yet it still reflects one meaning—the real beauty that exists both inside and outside.

What I love most about this part is how it was captured—a genuine moment that lets me reminisce about the peace, the beauty, and the soothing sound of the waves from within.

Those tall coconut trees standing against the beauty of the sunset made the moment even more meaningful—and the best part was being there. At that moment, all I could think of were the good things yet to come as we continued our beach trip

After a long walk from the other side to our rented house, this view captured my heart as I slowly fell in love with the sunset I was witnessing. Truly, God’s creation is beautiful—forever grateful.

Watching the sunset while sitting by the beach was the best moment I had, truly savoring the beauty of this island paradise.

Special thanks to Rachel for capturing this moments.

I adore this place so much because of its beautiful white sand and crystal-clear water, which are perfect for snorkeling and diving. There were actually many tourists enjoying these activities. It’s truly amazing, and I am so impressed with my experience so far.

A selfie for memories, we're on our way to see those amazing dolphins and to their surprise amazing performance.

The trip wasn’t so bad—even though my period came on day one 😅. I rested in the afternoon, then joined the island tour at 3 PM
 ended up exhausted and sore after all that walking!

One last swim!
I had one last swim on the morning of Day 2—the same day we were heading home. I’m so thankful to Ma’am Shane for lending me her phone and to Zaila for taking my photos while I was in the water. It was so clear and such a wonderful experience, I didn’t want to miss the chance to capture it.
