We were invited to attend a special screening of an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya, organized by the ABS-CBN Foundation at the Shangri-La Mall Cinema last Thursday.  We were happy to be joined by our colleagues from the Save Palawan Movement, who came in full force to support this particular episode, which was directed by the award-winning Brillante Mendoza and had, as its centerpiece, the beautiful island of Palawan.

Today we have a real treat for you as we visit what’s considered to be the best spots in Coron.  We start with the picturesque Kayangan Lake, then proceed to the hidden Twin Lagoon, and end with some snorkeling around the cluster of islands known as Siete Pecados (Seven Sins).  But first, a hearty breakfast at Sangat Resort care of the bubbly Chef Luma.

Exclusive Video // Island Hopping in Coron

Hey everyone!  Here is the vlog from our first full day in Coron, where I spent the day island hopping with birthday boy Anthony, who specifically requested for a weekend trip to Palawan in celebration of his 40th.

We’re also including bonus footage of Anthony’s Toe-in-a-Crab-Hole stunt, which earned him the title of — excuse our language — The World’s First Eco-Jackass.

Enjoy!  And remember to stay dry!

Anthony was quick to choose Coron as his desired destination for his 40th birthday bash, and boy, did he choose well.  I must mention that this was our first trip ever to Coron — We have heard a lot about it from friends and family, and have seen pictures online, but nothing could have prepared us for the incredible, life-changing experience that awaited us, just a mere 45-minute plane ride from Manila.
