The island of Sabitang Laya is one of the Caramoan Group of Islands in Camarines Sur. It is almost the same as the other islets, with crystal clear waters, and amazing rock formations, but the only difference is that it has a longer stretch of fine white sand. Aside from that, there’s a wide and long stretch of trees and grasses by the shoreline. Of course, the wind is cool and fresh.
Matukad Island is special among the other islands of the Caramoan group of islets because it is guarded by a majestic creature. It also has a long stretch of fine white sand, crystalline water, and greenery, and the wind is delicate, cool, and fresh. Instead of renting an air-conditioned room at Brgy. Paniman, we camped by the beach and stayed here for about twelve hours, enjoying its goodness.
If you're looking for a remarkable activity, Tanay Adventure Camp is a perfect place you can visit, just two to three hours from Manila. In 2014, I was invited to join the TAC Attack, an annual anniversary celebration held at the camp. And this year, they have added a lot of activities such as the ultra-marathon and outdoor cook fest. Since we a had problem with our availability, we opted to travel by 7 in the evening and arrived at the camp around midnight. Upon arrival, we met and greeted a few people at the event, feeling superstar kami eeh, then, set our camp and had our dinner. By 2AM we proceeded to the Maharlika Hall and witnessed the start of the 1st Conquer Ultramarathon.
After seeing on Facebook that the National Museum of the Philippines has FREE admission for the whole month of May 2016, we chose to spend the whole day inside the museum rather than watching TV, with the hot election in the mainstream. It is better to be in front of historical artifacts than listen to some people for their political agenda.
A few days after my solo backpacking at the Museum of the Filipino People, it is the second part of Oktubre ang Buwan ng mga Museo. These two buildings of the National Museum of the Philippines are just a few steps away from each other. Also, they both have historical values in the country and played a huge part in preserving and restoring the ancient and modern artifacts of the Philippines.

The Marikina Shoe Museum was conceived in 1998 under Mayor Bayani F. Fernando on the assumption that the City, being the Shoe Capital of the Philippines, can be a significant venue for nurturing the historical and cultural values of its shoe industry. It was opened on February 16, 2001, and was initially called the Footwear Museum of Marikina. Information courtesy: Marikina City Website
