It is often an afterthought to add a few hundred dollars for a business class upgrade.
It has been a challenge for many to find a different kind of beach weekend away from Manila. Having known and experienced only the beach paradises in Visayas or in Mindanao, my friends and I decided to take a shot at a Luzon adventure. The destination was Zambales and it involved a mountain hike to a cove before camping by the beach.
AFTER an hourlong plane ride to Tacloban from Manila, a two-and-a-half-hour van ride to Palompon and a 45-minute boat ride, we arrived in Kalanggaman, one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines.
Usually a trip to Palawan is about white sandy beaches and immaculate lakes. But new adventures await, especially for thrill-seeking travelers.
