I learned about this island from a colleague in the office. It is actually an experimental pearl farm operated by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). I wish I could visit it soon, from the picture, it seems to be a rather bucolic place.
I've been in this island already last jan 1, 2009. We don't care about the storm Auring during that time, we dived around this island with our Dive Master Manong James. Grabe....... Ang Ganda! andaming giant clams! Nakakamiss ang Guiuan, the warm people around, the sites and adventures. Sana makabalik ako...
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I haven't gone there myself and I doubt I would see the wonders you speak of underwater as I'm not a diver, but am happy that there are people out there who appreciate our local "riches". I do hope you return.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle is the director of this fisheries, and incharge of Pearl Island. Recently finished diving and spending 3 days on this island with my family. Been to this island many times...get so excited each and everytime I visit. Cheack out my video at http://www.youtube.com/user/barbwyred69

ReplyDeletei'm a journalist from Tacloban City. i just get here in Guiuan mainland from Pear Island with the group of BFAR National Director Asis Perez. we were there for just an hour. it's a paradise. i got to see giant clams, colorful fishes, and corals through a glass bottom boat.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Eastern Samar but I've never been to Guiuan. I'm going home for a vacation next summer(2013) and I'm thinking of exploring samar. Hmm, who wanna join with me? Wala akong kasama. so, I'm looking for a group of people who's interested.
