eskapo 3.0 - exploring the islands

the first eskapo featured the island of Bantayan June of 2008 while eskapo 2.0 highlighted the island of Boracay October of last year. the third series begins with one of the most beautiful island in the Philippines that i've visited. the island of Cagbalete. it is then followed by another beach, which was featured in the contest of the previous post. only one got the exact answer, which is Pagbilao beach in Quezon province. congratulations to shattershards! please send me an email at i.dongho@gmail.com for the details on how to claim the latest issue of Travel and Leisure Southeast Asia.

thank you very much to all those who participated. look forward for more contests in the coming days.

Alam kong marami sa inyo ang hindi makakaintindi sa gagawin kong ito. Iilang tao lang naman ang nakakaalam sa buong istorya. Pero isa-isahin ko na kayong padalahan sa mensaheng ito dahil importante kayo lahat sa akin. Kahit papano, may pinagsamahan tayo. Wala na po ang jayveeonline. Napagdesisyonan kong ibaon na lamang ito sa limot. Hindi ko na po ito gagamitin at pupuntahan. Kung sino man ang bumibista doon noon, maraming salamat sa inyo. Bahagi kayong lahat sa pagiging blogger ko. Pero siguro hanggang dito na lamang ako. Pero patuloy pa rin akong magbibisita sa inyong lahat.

Gusto ko rin ipaabot dun sa mga taong involve dito. Gaya ng paulit-ulit kong sinasabi sa inyo, wala akong pinapanigan at mas lalong wala akong sisiraan sa inyo. Nasa gitna niyo lang ako, handang makinig sa kung anong hinaing ang gusto niyong ipalabas. Kung ano mang gulo mero tayo ngayon, sana naman maayos na ito. Mahal ko kayong lahat kasi lahat kayo mga KAIBIGAN ko. Alam kong nasaktan tayong lahat pero sana magpakatawaran na.

Maraming salamat.

I'll try to keep that in mind. Another friend told me that Capones is good nga raw. Hopefully, the tide is in our favor pagpunta namin. Mahirap daw ang trek papuntang light house pag low tide.

Very lovely blue sea. Love the new header photo.

Unknown said...

Wow, these are marvelous photos and location. I've not had the slightest chance yet to visit luzon beaches. Though I was at Montemar in Bataan, was when digicams weren't the latest tech yet. :)

Your contest below is cool. I would never have guessed it anyway, but I see your fans had so much fun guessing.

Thanks for the kind comments and for your visits. I'll be coming over again soon too. Nice blog and photography's in tune with you. Hope you're enjoying the sun out there and you have with you your suntanning or sun block! Hahahah...Don't forget golden skin is still the best. So appealing, they say. :)
