The Bora Project

I've been contemplating on what would be the itinerary on my next out-of-town trip.

The Boracay Project spawned when Cebu Pacific Airlines decided to roll out their 1-Peso fares for all domestic flights last February. Of course that excludes the other fees tied in with the airline, such as the gas fee, the government tax, etc. All in all, the fare amounted to almost 2000 pesos for round-trip ticket to the one beach that is famous inside and outside the country.

Ten days from now, 13 persons who majority works in the same office as I do, will head to the white sands of Boracay island. While I'm still in the process of securing a place to stay for the whole group in a three days and two nights of beach vacation, I still am unaware of what things to do or what scenes are there to embrace.

They say the beach is beautiful.

The sand dune is white.

A lot of water sports can be engaged with.

The sunset is beautiful.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

Since this would be my first encounter of Boracay, I am delighted to prove myself what makes it so popular with tourists, local and foreign alike. I've been to the waters of Bohol, seen its dolphins wave and say hi. I've also graced the sunrise of Camiguin, a beautiful one I should say. I'm sure would compare these to the beach that one of my friends describe as a place that looks like Metro Manila put in a white sand.

I'm sure everyone visiting it wouldn't concern on the issue where does the island put its garbage given that it is not so big of an island. Imagine all those septic tanks and sewerage, but I guess I have yet to see it before casting my doubts on its declared grandeur.
