Shrinking Beauty Of Boracay

Outward beauty fades unless it is diligently maintain though eventually it will actually fade because physical beauty is only a temporal or momentary due to aging process. The aging process is perhaps only applicable to us humans, beasts and insects but what about to a natural landscape; will its natural beauty aged also naturally like us as time passes? Hmm. We could say that natural landscape never age unless it is change or altered naturally by nature and by man intervention. The beauty can be preserved forever if no one attempts to touch it or alter it either by nature itself or by man’s manipulation.

If so, then the rumors are true that the famous beautiful white beach in the Philippines is in the brink of losing her natural beauty and charm by the intervention and irresponsible careless acts of men and women who exploit her beauty for profits (money) sake. Reports have it that Boracay’s ample white grain sand is slowly draining due to: First, according to the reports, by erecting a big sand castle out of its white sand to gain money on its sand; second,the damping of commercial waste products by the vendors like plastic bags upon it which mar the beautiful sight of the beach resort or which ruins the beauty of Boracay.

These selfish acts, according to the reports could ruin the tourism revenue of Boracay for tourists will be dismayed in witnessing such deglamorizing of the beach resort they used to love its beauty. The revenue will drop because less tourist will visit it due to Boracay’s tourist value will decrease. Therefore, these litters and income opportunists will also be affected by the selfish actions they have committed.

Therefore, to preserve the tourism value of Boracay and everybody will benefit from it even the litters and income opportunists, all should take care the beauty of Boracay wherein they owe their income; for without it they are nothing in terms of income or no money will come to them. The litters and income opportunist should be educated; else they will lose their income opportunities if they do not participate in taking care the beauty of Boracay.

Boracay is the most famous tourist attraction in the Philippines and the most well known places in the Philippines where most tourists around the world visits, thus it is only right to protect it and take care of it because it is the Philippines’ pride.

This a continued article from “Flights to Philippines Part 1”, in that we discuss flights to particular Philippine destinations, if one is planning to have a Philippine vacation and Philippine travels and if one is coming from Manila Philippines. In that article we have discuss flights to Philippines most tourist destination, namely, Boracay Beach Island Resort Philippines, Baguio City Philippines, and the cultural Vigan City Philippines. In it also we discuss bus travel if one prefers it in their Philippine travels. And now for a continuation of our discussions, let’s begin with top number four most visited tourist Philippine vacation destination.

The second most tourist visited Beach resort in the Philippines following Boracay Philippines is the Pagudpud Beach Island Resort at Ilocos Norte Philippines. Some tourist loves to visit this Island Beach because according to them, Pagudpud is a resemblance of Hawaii or it is like Hawaii due to its long shores and secludedness.

Therefore, if you happen to be at Manila Philippines or Metro Manila Philippines, if you prefer flights to Philippines’ Pagudpud, chances are you will buy a ticket for Laog city Philippines. As I know so far, this is still the well means to get To Pagudpud if you prefer flight travel. This is quite similar if you want to go to Vigan City Philippines. You can ride the Philippine Airlines (PAL) or Cebu Pacific Airline that travels to Laog City. You could check their flight package at their respective websites.

However, if you prefer bus ride or land transportation, you can ride at this terminal if you happen to be at Manila Philippines. Go to Partas Bus Company which is located at Aurora Boulevard, Quezon City in the Philippines which caters travels to Laog City. It is approximated to have 10 hours of travel. Then, if you are already at Laog city, you could ride another bus going to Pagudpud.

Another favorite tourist Philippine vacation destination is Palawan Philippines. If you are from Manila Philippines and wanted or prefer to buy an air ticket going to Palawan Philippines, you could ride the Philippine Airlines or Air Philippines that will took you directly into the heart capital of Palawan Philippines which is Puerto Princesa city, which is only a one hour and five minutes trip. However, if you wanted to go directly to a specific location at Palawan, like El Nido, Cuyo Palawan, Busuanga, or your desired specific destinations at Palawan Philippines, there are flights you can choose to ride depending which location in Palawan you would like to visit. Examples of these alternative flights to different locations in Palawan are the Asian Spirit Airlines, SEAIR Lines, Pacific Air Lines, and the Soriano Airlines. You can inquire about their flight package in their respective websites or hotlines.

However, there is also transportation by sea going to Palawan from Manila Philippines. But it is a twenty hours trip. If you prefer this, you could buy a ticket at WG&A Shipping Company.

There is no by land transportation means going to Palawan if you happen to be at Manila Philippines because Palawan Philippines is an island far away from Metro Manila Philippines.
