Calatagan's Awesomeness

Back in post-grad school, we were tasked to conduct a participatory evaluation of a project. This led us to a kids' dental project in Calatagan, Batangas.

The province is 3 hours away from Manila. I was too lazy to commute via public transportation so, I asked my family and my significant other to come with me. And so they wanted to to the beach as well.

Calatagan was fierce! It was awesome! As I said in my Facebook post about it:


It was my first time in Calatagan, and I am pleasantly surprised with its beauty. I mean blue skies, the greenery and all the other lively colors of nature always keep me delighted, and these, all I've seen in this laid back calatagan

A bonus is that, since it was off peak, we had the beach only for us. The sun was also wonderful, making the color of the nature even crispier, to the feast of my eyes and my camera =)
The beach is like the one I experienced in Bolinao, where it was just low tide. But it was fine with me because I do not swim anyway =) 

As for the resort we stayed at, it was pretty laid back as well. Ok siya lalo na if magkakatropa. Sa inyo lang yung lugar! =) And it was pretty picturesque as well, so I took a loooottttt of pictures. As i said, the color was so beautiful that I did not tamper much on the photos, but, some of them are good in black and white so I also took the liberty in converting some of the shots to my own expression =)

So for Calatagan.....check! will definitely go back with some good friends =)

So, please indulge me in sharing the pics that I took:














































































Nakakaumay ba? =) Sorry, adik sa pics.

After play then comes work. The following day, one of my groupmates arrived and we proceeded with our tasks for the project. And as usual, it was always rejuvenating to talk to townspeople.

Here is a short video we prepared that pretty much summarizes the project and its impact (sorry, no subtitles! :/ ). The project is cool! And, I got a pretty high grade in this subject too!!! Evaluation is my element! =)
