More boats and that’s the pier on the leftmost side and the Coast Guard building

I’d rather ride a bus than a van between El Nido and Puerto Princesa. It may take longer but each stop to pick or drop local passengers is something worth noting. Bus ride gives more stories and views than the point-to-point characterless vans

A public market has more character than a supermarket. It’s so vibrant and colorful. It’s where you can observe local trade, find and sample local stuff and learn. It’s entertaining. It’s the type of chaos that I love.

Tayabas Market

See that seller, when you buy from her, you help her directly instead of helping big corporations (e.g.  SM Supermarket)
