Morong Beach Review

Submitted by faith on Mon, 09/05/2022 - 19:07
Description

On Morong Beach's white sands, the Nakabuang Arch stands in stark contrast in the distance. The peculiar rock formation forms a natural doorway shaped by time and tide, appearing like an elephant's trunk digging through the sand.

Vayang Rolling Hills Review

Submitted by faith on Mon, 09/05/2022 - 19:02
Description

The Vayang Rolling Hills are one of Batanes' most iconic sights. The tranquil stretch of green against the West Philippine Sea is a breathtaking sight worth the long trip from the mainland. The hills, which are often dotted with cows, are reminiscent of New Zealand's green pastures. Roads have been improved in the recent years to provide more scenic vantage points where a view of the hills may be enjoyed.
