The Philippines is one of Asia’s paradise. Needless to say, we have a handful of tourist destinations that is recognised worldwide, and has earned rave reviews through travel magazines and travel blogs.
However, I would like to focus on the one place that is closest to my heart; Zambales.
This Province is known as a melting pot of people from all walks of life.
Located in Central Luzon and situated by the West Philippine Sea, this Province consist of more tourist spots like Subic and Iba where people frequent every summer and holidays due to its pristine beaches and natural resources, a fact that has been sensationalize recently as China battles it’s claim over Masinloc Island; which was the former capital of the province, rich in natural resources and rich corals; it has been the interest of many.
Zambales truly is a place of wonder, so many sights to visit ,and so many places to be unraveled.
One special place that I would love to impart is a quaint town called Cabangan.
I always look forward to the Holidays because that’s usually the time where we visit this magnificent town.
Cabangan is a remarkable town where the river kisses the West Philippine Sea. It is a place where breath-taking mountain merges with the rivers and seas, a perfect place for fishing and coral diving, mountain climbing or merely to relax and admire God’s natural creation.
At night you shall sea thousands of stars along with the soft whisper of fresh salt air.
And at dawn you get this awesome view of this beautiful sunrise as you watch fisherman haul their catch for the day.
You can also find the best sea food such as prawns, crabs, sea urchins, and fish sold at a most reasonable price perfect for a barbeque at the beach.
At sunset, you can just serenely sit by the shore and watch the sun make love to the sea. It truly is a sight to behold.
Yes, there are a lot of great things to mention about this place. From its lush mountain tops, to its breathtaking ocean view, there is no arguing the Cabangan is one of the places you should definitely check out for the Holidays.
But the one thing that would make your stay truly worth while is the wonderful people there. Populated by warm, hard working people that always greet you with a smile and would open their homes even to strangers for food and drink; “bayanihan” is very much alive in this wonderful town.
If anyone needs to unwind, soul-search this is the perfect place to be. Untainted by modern civilization, Cabangan comprises of beauty beyond compare.
