Bantayan Island: Have you been there?

Tweet

Last weekend, we went to Cebu to conduct our interview to 4 nominees of the 2008 Microentrepeneur of the Year. I have gone to 4 different municipalities of Cebu: Consolacion, Lilo-an, Bogo and Bantayan Island. Well, I want to share my experience in Bantayan. I have read in one of the articles that Bantayan island is one of the “best kept secrets” of Cebu province. I should agree with this, because it will take you 2.5 hours from the Cebu City airport to get to Bogo City, then around 30-45 minutes going to the island. Me and the crew went to Ogtong Cave and Resort and was able to explore the place. The place is really nice. Gosh. I went alone to the cave, and I felt like there are other elements in there. Not that I am claustrophobic or so, maybe I am not just a water person. I love the pool, but staying in the cave alone gave me an eerie feeling. Eerie because I knew like it was not my territory and the water was really crystal clear, that my voice inside me is telling me to take care of the surrounding and all. Hehe! So much for my weirdness. I regret that I only spent two or three hours there. Had I known, that the place is worth falling for, I should have prepared my itinerary properly. But then, I guess, I have to go back there. Have you been to Bantayan Island? Please do share your experiences. I wonder if Bantayan Island has the party feel of Boracay Island (but I do hope it does not have because the place seems so relaxing and a nice venue to contemplate on things).
