Going all terrain

All Terrain Vehicles

Time to rough it up.

One of the new activities in Boracay Island is driving those new All Terrain Vehicles up and across the island. It’s really fun especially when you are passing through really rough and dusty roads. More fun if you are racing with the other guys and trying to overtake them as well. I heard you can even take this up to Mt. Luho, the highest peak in the island.

But, I have to say that this is a risky activity and the operators of this ATV should pay more attention to safety. They didn’t provide helmets, elbow or knee support or even have side mirrors on their vehicles. One of our staff had a minor accident here since the unit’s battery suddenly died and she flew off hurting her left arm. She had to be bandaged and splinted Didn’t even know this until after the activity when she informed us.

And a word of warning on Boracay. Try not to get hurt or have any injuries. Their Hospital is a Morgue! They don’t have medicines, they don’t have cottons, they didn’t even have cold compress, they didn’t even have a decent splint! Geez, She has to buy her own medicines and stuff. And the staff were busy watching cable before attending to her.

I must admit that this island is a great place but they should also focus their concerns on this. We were able to converse with Charlie Uy of Patio Pacific Resort, who formed their private rescue group in Boracay called RATSS. He said that when people have serious accidents there, they usually fly them Iloilo or go ahead to Manila, because they know, Boracay’s Hospital is truly incompetent!

The best tasting squid dish I’ve tasted in the island of Boracay can be found in Escondido Resort, Station 1.

Boracay revisited

Boracay Sunset

Boracay Sunset

Will just keep this entry short. It was an exhausting but really fun weekend. Never thought I would enjoy myself that much in Boracay. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights there through the invitation of the local government to present “What’s new in Boracay“. It’s a series of Media visits, and this time around we were in company with the Mega Magazine Publishing Group and Lifestyles writers from Inquirer and Philippine Star. Geez, I think I added weight there since most the time we were eating, hopping from one resto to another then there’s the endless photoshoot of accommodations. Still, we were able to enjoy more than the white sands, like the new ATVs (All terrain Vehicles), lunch within a running river and a cave at Malay mainland. That’s it for now. Will try to post pics in the coming days.

A fast paced weekend in bora

Boracay Beach Stretch

Beach Stretch of Boracay

Whew! Just got back from Boracay and what a weekend! Everything seemed so fast. It was like we just arrived there yesterday. It was my first time to go to that place actually but one of us, one of my regular travel companion from Lakbay, was here 10 years before and so much has changed according to her.
