Island Hopping: Dampalitan, Borawan and Puting Buhangin

The Province of Quezon is one of my favorite provinces in the Philippines because of its gorgeous beaches, which can be considered as one of the top tourist attractions and destinations in the region. Aside from that, they also have the colorful Pahiyas Festival and sumptuous pancit hab-hab. A few of the gems can also be found on higher altitudes of Mt. Banahaw – the Holy Mountain, and Mt. Cristobal – the Devil's Mountain. Now, for the third time, I am visiting three of the fine-looking islets of Padre Burgos, Quezon.

Borawan and Dampalitan Island

Borawan Island is a small islet located in Padre Burgos, in Quezon Province. According to the caretaker I spoke to, the name of the islet was given by Father Vargas who discovered the islet. This islet is made up of a large stone in irregular shape, covered with grass and trees.
