May bagong uri ng polusyon na kumakalat sa bansa, mga sasakyan na nagpapatugtog ng sobrang lakas ng jingle ng mga pulitiko.

One of the many small coves of Governor's Island.

First stop, Governor's Island. According to our guide, this island offers the best views of the National Park. Up we go!

Touring the Hundred Islands National Park is like a well-oiled machine. Everything is well organized.

Pictured are boats docked at the wharf, waiting for tourists.

So we were happily walking along the beach of this barely inhabited island off the coast of Tondol... Then this!

There are a lot of sea urchin between Tanduyong island and Tondol's main beach. My father and nephew fell victim to them. You'd find a lot of their skeleton scattered by the beach.

I added island hopping as part of our itinerary in Anda. We didn't need to hire a boat, you can walk to the neighboring islands. I've seen some local fishermen walk to the farther islands, with water not going above their waist.

Sunrise over Lingayen Gulf. One of the few days we were afforded clear skies during our family vacation in Pangasinan.

Tondol is still under the radar of most tourists who visit Pangasinan, despite just being a little over an hour from nearby tourist hotspot Hundred Islands.

Low tide exposes Anda'a expansive beach. In some areas, the sand is comparable to those in Boracay. As fine and almost as white. The kids had fun watching crabs, sea stars, shellfish, fishes scurry about.

We saw this 'constellation' of sea stars near a fisherman's boat at Tondol Beach.
I'm not sure if they gathered naturally, which I recently learned they do; or if they were victims of tourists taking them out of the water to have selfies with. Something we've witnessed on t…

Despite its name, the Patar beach is more cream-colored than white. It's a beautiful beach nonetheless.

Photobombed by a stray dog. Unfortunately, everywhere you go in the Philippines, stray dogs are a common thing. It's fun watching them roam freely. What's sad is there's no one to feed them when they go hungry. No one to care for them when they get sick.

Dusk at Patar Beach, Bolinao.

In keeping with my tradition of beach sand writing. Wasn't able to do it in better lighting since were mostly out exploring Bolinao during the day. Still satisfied with the outcome. 😁

Since vehicle access to Bolinao Falls 2 and 3 is restricted due to the bad weather, my sister and I decided to walk.
We asked a couple of locals how far the second waterfall is. The first one said 300 meters. The second 500 meters. With conflicting answers, I did the most l…

[Ranil @ranilgranada]

Bolinao has three waterfalls that's part of the usual tourist round, plainly named Bolinao Falls 1, 2 and 3.

We were only able to visit Falls 1, or risk having our vehicle stuck in the muddy dirt road.

Pictured is the natural pool below the waterfall. Water is super cold.

There was a storm during our family vacation to Pangasinan. But that did little to dampen our mood. Thanks to views like this bridge over the Balingasay River in Bolinao.
