the one where I went to Puerto Galera!

I went to Puerto Galera for the first time last April 11, 12, and 13. MSG, my high school barkada, have been planning this trip since March and I'm happy that it pushed through. We are about 24 or 26 in our barkada, about 11 or 12 came on the meeting 4 days before we left Manila, and only 7 came (Maruel, Arvin, Chan, Demet, Carlos, Jon, Dex) on April 11. It still fun even if we are just only 7 but it would have been great it all had come. Wishing all of you have been there with us, hehe! :)

Ok, I don't know where to start, haha! There are so many stories to tell, haha! I'll try to summarize what we did in those 3 days 2 nights trip. I'll just try to use an approximated time for the summary as I can't remember the exact times now. I will also be using tagalog so that I can summarize it faster. I'm not good in English, haha! :D

Day 1
2:30am: Simula ng paggising at gisingan.

There are some people asking me how much did we spent in our trip to Puerto Galera so here it is:
307Php Bus fare, Round trip
380Php Boat fare, Round trip
4500Php for a 4 to 5 person room (capacity of the room is negotible) for 3 days 2 nights

All in all, thats 307 + 380 + (4500/7) = 1330. A budget of 2kPhp to 3kPhp is sufficient not unless you want to ride a banana boat (200 per head), go island hopping and snorkeling (2kPhp?), and/or go Para sailing (1.5kPhp per head). I didn't factored in the expenses we use for our food because we brought canned good and just bought rice from the "carinderia" so I didn't really know how much we spent on food. All I can say is Puerto Galera is like a much cheaper alternative to Boracay, hehe! :)

So that's all. Pictures can be found at my Puerto Galera album, Arvin's MSG 7 Album, and Jon's mSg Puerto Galera album. Sorry for my crappy summary as I can't summarize it efficiently because, like what I have said above, there are so much to tell that I don't know where to start! :D



"Salamat sa Puerto Galera! Salamat sa inyo Puerto Boys! Mamimiss ko kayo! Salamat sa lahat! Grabe, ang saya!"
