You can't rely on words. Words can be as empty as the people who hold them."</i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As the saying goes, "actions can speak louder than words"... True enough. People might not always tell you they love or care for you, but they will always show you - even in little things, like bringing you food, giving you small items that they know you like, volunteering to do stuffs for you, etc.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, it might just be the opposite. Some people tend to secretly hate you, while being nice and saying nice things around you. We can call them backstabbers if you like. :)) Haha! There are more lies in the world than the truth. So you can help yourself by trusting your instincts. Learn how to feel, learn how to distinguish who are true to you.<br />
<br />
I know its hard to let go of people who matters to you - even if you always feel like you never mattered to them. But you should learn to value yourself, because once you give in, it will never stop ruining your perception of life. You will start to think that life is unfair, but truthfully, IT IS NOT. Life is what we make it. IT IS ALWAYS OUR CHOICE. Never trust anyone but yourself, because in the end, you only need to please one person - and that person is YOU.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I researched for weeks, read blogs, browsed throughout the internet - and all I read was that Magalawa Island is a nice place to visit... quoting bloggers' words "its all worth it". I even learned of the story of the two rival resorts: Ruiz Camp Resort vs. Armada Resort. Plus photos from Google were aaamazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh well. Those blogs were 90% of the reasons we decided to go to Magalawa Island.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So we planned to go one weekend, fixed our budget and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">packed our bags. We opted to stay at Ruiz Camp Resort because we cannot contact Armada Resort (no one is answering their cellphone). Its a good thing though, we got the best service from Ruiz Camp Resort.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Our expenses were (for 8 pax):</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Gas - P 1,425 (we brought our own car)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Toll - P 816 (round trip)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Parking - P 200 (parking for Ruiz Resort looks safer than Armada's, there is a guard at the entrance of the compound)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Accommodation - P 1,700 per head for nipa hut (4 pax)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> P 1,400 per head for tent pitching (4 pax, we brought our own tent)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Included in this package are:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- 5 mins. boat ride from Luan Port (priced at P 100/head but this is free if you will get the package)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- 4 meals (this is supposed to be Lunch-Dinner-Breakfast-Lunch, but we arrived too early at the island and they let us eat breakfast instead of the lunch meal for the next day)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Snorkeling</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ruiz Camp Resort personnel and caretaker (Mang Mulo) are veryyy accommodating. I salute you guys! They always serve our meals on time, and every meal there are 3 types of dishes. Even after our snorkeling, they never failed. Its as if they know when we are hungry. LOL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The beach however, is a different story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: start;">I don't know if those are called plants or seaweeds but they are yuckyyy.. They even have mold-like thingies on the leaves. They are all over the place. I'm not sure though if these are seasonal, we might have gone there at the wrong season. ITS EVERYWHERE! I guess its because of the lack of waves and movement at the shore. But I still think this could be fixed. The locals could clean this up with a net or whatever, just so as to lessen (if not eliminate) those leaves. <i>Hindi naman ako maarte, kadiri lang talaga yung molds sa dahon.</i> I didn't even dare to cross the deeper part of the sea to get on to the balsa, I was so scared I could step on something deadly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm sorry to say this. </span><u style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I honestly think the island is a bit overrated.</u><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> No offense. I'm just letting this out for future travelers out there. If you are bringing kids, or love to swim - this island is not for you. Yes, it could be worth it. It is budget friendly, 2k per head. But make sure you bring with you a fun company, you would be dead bored if you wouldn't. Or you might be stung by a jellyfish if you'd insist on swimming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But in case you still want to experience camping at a budget-friendly price here in Magalawa, I strongly suggest you go with Ruiz Camp Resort.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It could have been better. I just hope the locals in that area would help clean up the shore. I know its not their fault, but they earn from tourism over there, they could at least try. #justsaying</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Lahat nagagalit sa ginawang pagdedma ni PNoy sa pagsalubong sa dead bodies ng mga namatay na SAF. Hindi pa din maka move-on yung mga tao. But really, what do you expect from a president who is driven by show business?? Of course he would prioritize an inauguration, a wedding and an interview. Or maybe he thinks that a “bad publicity” would up his career a few notches. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MIX <b>SHOWBIZ AND POLITICS. <u>It doesn’t work.</u></b> Clearly, the Filipino people are blind. It already happened with Erap before right? HINDI NA TAYO NATUTUTO.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Being a
president of a country is not a game, it’s not a race and it’s definitely not a
competition. Lives of real people are at stake here. Pag sablay yung presidente,
sablay din yung buong bansa… at kailangan natin magtiis for another 6 years to the end of his term. Ilang
sundalo pa ang mamamatay sa kamay ng mga rebelde bago tayo gumising? Ilang pamilya
pa ang maghihirap bago tayo matauhan?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

IPAGBILI ANG BOTO NYO.</span> Wag nyo iboto dahil sikat, or dahil lagi nyo nakikita sa
TV, or dahil bibigyan kayo ng pabahay, or dahil madaming magandang pangako.
Tignan nyo yung mga nagawa nila bilang normal na mamamayan - kung madami syang nagawang
maganda at nakakatulong sa bayan, saka mo tanungin sa sarili mo, “papano pa kaya
kung maging presidente siya?”. <b>We should vote for those candidates who can DO
more</b>, not those who can GIVE more - because giving is easy when you’re already
in position. Doing, on the other hand, is a responsibility.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Politicians who
genuinely care for our country, where are they? Tatakbo palang sila, nawawalan na
sila ng chance. Ang mas may chance manalo ay yung kurakot na madaming pera (na ninakaw
din nila sa taong bayan, tapos babawiin nila pag nailuklok na sila sa pwesto)
Ayoko sabihin na tanga ang mga Pilipino kasi Pilipino din ako. Ako rin naiinis kasi
nagbabayad din ako ng napakalaking tax, tapos nakikita ko wala rin naman napupuntahang
maganda. Worse, napupunta pa sa bulsa ng mga politiko. Nakakainis pa lalo kasi nakakahiya yung mga politicians natin pag naibabalita
sa world news. Tinanggal na sa pagiging presidente, pero nanalo pa din na
mayor. Nakakulong na nga, nanalo pa ding senator. On trial sa pagnanakaw or napatunayang nagnakaw,
biglang magkakasakit tapos hospital arrest instead of kulungan. Excuse me, gumawa yan ng kasalanan, may sakit man o hindi. Yung mga nasa kulungan ba pinapahospital nyo pag may sakit? ANOBER?! Nakakaloka.
AND WE LET THIS HAPPEN...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Minsan parang
gusto mo na lang sumigaw sa inis. Pag nakukuha mo yung special pay mo tuwing
December tapos makikita mo na 1/3 ng bonus mo ay napunta lang sa tax.
“P*+#%&!$@ dugo’t pawis ko yan eh!” Tapos wala ka ng magagawa kasi hindi naman
voluntary. Tapos pag uwi mo makikita mo sa news yung mga mukha ni Jinggoy,
Napoles, Binay, atbp. ANG KAKAPAL!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Kung hindi lang maganda
ang nature-tripping dito sa Pilipinas, malamang wala na talagang magkakagusto magstay
dito. Ang sarap sana maglayas at tumira sa ibang bansa, pero karamihan sa atin hindi
magawa kasi nandito mga pamilya natin, and all. Haaayyy..sige take a deep
breath nalang. Join the plunge… to our doom! Hahaha joke lang. <span style="font-size: large;">WAKE UP PINAS!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently named the best island in the World, Palawan is truly a majestic place to travel to. Compared to other islands I've been to, the islands in Coron are never too crowded - maybe because there are a lot of places to go to. You will never run out of places to visit. <i>"So many things to do, so little time!" </i>Which is why it will be worth it coming back to this piece of earth to find serenity and peace.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> After that tiring hike to Mt. Tapyas, relax yourself at the Maquinit Hot Spring for a P200 fee per pax. You won't feel sore the next day if you do this. Natural hot springs are the best.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By the way, you have to pay Php 50 per pax for each of the spots you will visit. I know, I know, a bit pricey if you will visit 5 or more islands. I hope Coron will give tourists packages that pays for the whole thing and make it a little hassle-free.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For your Coron island hopping, you may contact Mr. Marvin Tayco (boat owner) at 0915-611-1974 or 0998-163-2539. They offered us an affordable rate for four and prepared a yummy lunch for us. One of the boatman went with us as our tour guide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We stayed at Coron Westown Resort. Spacious and cozy rooms, staff were accommodating and ok. I love their bathroom, it is sooo big! Choose rooms beside the pool on the ground floor for easy access.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Travel light if you can. There are no scanners in Coron's airport so they look at your bags manually.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ooohh I love Palawan! :) Definitely going back, for the beaches next time.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Looking for a condo? Here are some basic tips/guidelines that would help you determine if the condominium you're looking at will live up to your standards. This is for y'all especially the single people who are starting an independent life and moving out of their parents' home...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wouldn't say I am an expert, but living in condos for about two years now, I've seen different flaws that could have been avoided if you choose your condo wisely. There is no perfect condo, that is for sure. But it's up to you to decide which flaws you can live with. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>1) First and most important, know the developer.</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Research about the developers and visit their actual sites. Showrooms only show you the "ideal" appearance of your future unit, but when you get it bare, that's a different story (a story full of expenses LOL) For me, the most important thing is the foundation of the building and how the dividers in each units are built. Try to punch the walls and feel for yourself if its full concrete or hollow. Most developers build their projects the same way so you will get a slight idea what type of construction that developer does. Once you've chosen your preferred developer, choose which of their projects are within your preferred area. Then do your site visit again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>2) Management of property</i></b> - </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">During your site visit, look around. Is their condo properly maintained, clean and homey? The appearance of the condo reflects the type of management it has.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>3) Amenities and facilities.</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How big is the pool and imagine if it can accommodate all the people in that compound. Some condos offer gym, tennis and basketball courts. Be sure that the events area is away from your prospect unit, because it might be noisy there occasionally, if you don't mind a little noise then okay. Common areas should be visitor friendly also.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>4)</i></b> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><b>Ask people there how much is the </b></i><b><i>monthly association dues</i></b>. Multiply that to the size of your prospect unit, and reflect if you can afford to pay it. Owning a condo is a responsibility, you need to start paying your bills. Haha!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>5) Ask where the garbage bins are.</b></i> Trust me on this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>6) Security</i></b> - Of course you need to feel safe if you're living alone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>7) Parking</i></b> - Whether you own a car or not, inquire if there are ample parking space. (Well if you ask the agents they usually say yes haha) It's still better to have your own though, yes pricey, but convenient. You can always rent it out if you don't own a car yet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>8) Drying cages </i></b>- They usually have this for low and mid-rise condominiums. But if you don't have time to wash your clothes, you can ask the admin for recommended laundry shops near the area - they will pick-up and deliver your clothes for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>9) Accessibility</i></b> - Public transportation or private vehicle? Where is the nearest supermarket, mall, etc.?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>10) Utilities</b></i> - I know you can't live without cable and internet, available providers usually have flyers in the admin office. Admin will take care of MERALCO for you. Water charges are included on top of your monthly assoc. dues.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>11) Pets</i></b> - If you own one, you might have to ask if the condo allows it. Otherwise, you have to leave your baby at your parents' house and take your place as prince/princess. :))</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>12) Know the terms of payment and manage your financials. </b></i>Request your agent to provide you with the payment schedule, they will compute this for you once you've chosen your unit. Prior to your move in, remember that this is like moving in a house also - they will make you pay membership fee for the association, fire extinguishers (if not free), MERALCO initial payment, etc. Therefore, do not forget to ask the admin office how much these fees are so you can prepare for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Seriously? Hindi naman ito
major problem. Isang napakaliit na problema na madali naman solusyunan. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">Simple lang solusyon dyan: ipagbawal na ng tuluyan
ang "tandem". Pang-isang tao lang naman talaga ang motor diba?
Nag-aaksaya pa kayo ng oras parahin sila at tanungin isa isa. Dagdag pa kayo sa
traffic. 1) tapos problema nyo 2) for the motorists' safety na din, mahirap
kaya may naka angkas, takaw disgrasya lang yan 3) bawas holdap. Three birds

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">Its called
"permanent" danger zone for a reason. Bakit ba hinahayaan nyong may
tumira doon? Tapos aalis lang sila pag puputok na yung bulkan. Mag-eevacuate
sila at gagastos ang gobyerno ng Php 178 million sa loob ng 3 months para
mapakain at alagaan sila. Sana hindi nalang sila doon nakatira, para yung mga
may mas tunay na pangangailangan ang makakuha ng tulong - hindi yung mga tao na
alam nang delikado eh pinagsisiksikan yung mga sarili nila sa permanent DANGER
ZONE. Ang nakakatawa pa nyan, pagkatapos ng pagputok ng bulkan, hahayaan nyo
nanaman sila bumalik doon. Tapos next eruption ganun nanaman. Ugh. What a waste

And for me, its a start. Ibalik lahat ng pera ng Pilipinas, tapos saka
idistribute ulit to help others. Sana mabawasan na yung naibubulsa para
makinabang naman tayong lahat, hindi lang yung paisa isang politiko na may mga
mansyon sa iba ibang lupalop ng Pilipinas. Help the Philippines before you help
yourselves - this should be the motto of every politician. ANO MAGAGAWA NG
PERANG NINAKAW MO KUNG BABAKSAK LANG RIN NAMAN ANG PILIPINAS? Mag-aabroad ka?
Sige lumayas ka na! LOL. Pero kung tatakbo si Mayor Duterte, sa kanya nalang
ako boboto. I think that is what our country needs - FEAR of the government. Greed
kind of wasted the beauty of democracy here in the Philippines.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But the real question is:<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Why would you (even try)?</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>

After years of trying, I came to the conclusion that THEY NEVER WILL... AND I GIVE UP. I waved my white flag and I can honestly say (after a few months of <i>what ifs</i>, etc etc.) that I am happier. I promised myself that I will never let what others think of me affect me as a person... because whatever that is, this is me. I cannot change who I am especially for people who does not even care about me. People like me just the way I am and I know it. Those who cannot understand me clearly doesn't take time to even try to... so why even bother to please them? The perfect answer is to just be civil. Ignore it, as hard as it may be. I've been struggling for months now, to keep my patience and not get into arguments even if I have tons of things to say. Sometimes, expressing yourself too much is a bad thing. Besides, <span style="font-size: large;"><b>a closed mind and heart can never be moved</b>.</span> Whatever you say, whatever you do, you will always be wrong in their eyes. You just have to wait for that moment when they will realize ON THEIR OWN the things you try to do for them. Until that time comes, KEEP CALM AND STOP TRYING. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You live for your own happiness. Don't let other people define you and how to live your life. If they don't appreciate you, that's their problem -- not yours. <span style="font-size: large; font-style: italic;">Never apologize for being you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We always make hard decisions for the people we love, but always remember this - they will come around. Patience dear friend, patience.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Once upon a time, this was a private luxury resort. People can only reach it through either a boat or a helicopter. Since Leviste was accused of murder, and following the opening of other private resorts in Nasugbu (where you won't need a boat or a helicopter ride), this island slowly lost the competition until its abandonment. No lights, no water, no everything.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Boat ride was a bit pricey. Php5,500-6,000 for 6-7 pax for overnight trip. Travel time is around an hour going from Nasugbu to the island. Landing fee will cost you Php400 per person for an overnight stay (this will go to the Korean, a diver who is renting the island from the Leviste's) Bring your own tent or you can rent one for a fee of Php700-800. I suggest you buy one kasi magkapresyo lang halos, plus you can bring it home pa. Don't forget your emergency lights and water. These are the most important things to bring.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">White Beach has a mini port now where all the boats unload their passengers. In a way, this lessens the accidents from boats being all over the place where people are swimming. For a 50php fee, you can enter White Beach hassle free.</span><br />

They don't even know what numbers to enter. I just wasted my time when I decided to call them and ask...<br />
<br />
MERALCO recently changed some subscriber numbers as part of their upgrade of computers in certain branches I think. So I had to re-enroll my account.<br />
<br />
So here's the procedure:<br />
1. Go to "Pay Bills" icon.<br />
2. Click "Enroll Company/Biller".<br />
3. Choose MERALCO from the drop down menu. Subscriber Number is the FIRST 11 DIGITS of your ATM/Phone Reference No. (You can see this at the bottom part of your bill) Subscriber Name is the name registered in your bill, you can find this at the top of your bill. Enter your preferred nickname then click Submit.<br />
4. Click the "Pay Bills" icon again when you receive the confirmation of enrollment.<br />
5. Choose which account to pay from then enter MERALCO in the biller section. Doing this will show your Subscriber No. and Name. It will ask you to enter an ATM/Phone Ref. No. Enter the LAST 5 DIGITS of your ATM/Phone Ref. No. (this changes every bill)<br />
6. Enter the amount then click Submit.<br />
<br />
Pay your bill on time bcoz BDO Online doesn't accept overdue payments. I guess the last digits of your ATM/Ref. No. expires. Good luck! :)<br />
<br />
**UPDATE** October 21, 2015<br />
<br />
So if all else fails and you cannot pay your bills online, try going to the nearest SM Bills Payment. I heard they can now accept late payments until 6 or 7 days past the due date. Cool right? Thank you, SM! :)Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08152127649638620897noreply@blogger.com23
