I have been to Calaguas twice, once in 2013 and once in 2016, and I must say that both times have been such an incredible experiences. It’s 2019, and I feel like going back. Back then, the islands were considered “virgin” since there were no major developments like accommodations or even electricity. Yes, they killed the lights at midnight, and it was just camping with tents.
I hear that it’s a bit different today. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but I hope that Calaguas doesn’t lose its beauty to capitalism and consumerism. There are things better left untouched.
I remember the powdery white sands, the turquoise-blue water, the golden sunset. I remember the simplicity and beauty of it all, especially because I spent it with some very special friends. Some people never visit a place twice because they want to try new places, but for me, the experience is always different.
I am looking forward to my third Calaguas adventure this summer.

DID YOU KNOW that only three percent of Filipino adults invest in bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and other managed investment options?
If you would like to have millions and have an early retirement, working hard may be one way to go, but I know many people who worked hard all their life and not even have a hundred thousand pesos in their savings account.
Perhaps even your parents do not have millions at this time. Break that cycle and have something for yourself and for your kids.
What if all it took was five years?
Sadly, only 3% is investment savvy enough to take that leap. If you want to be a part of that 3% and have minimal investment with high returns, let me show you how.
This is not networking. This 100% stock market investment.
