Hidden Treasures: Balbagon Island, Carles, Iloilo

One could practically have unlimited options when it comes to spending their summer in the country. Sure, that depends on what you’re up for. Some prefer the party scenes the likes of Boracay has to offer while some enjoy exploring unchartered places. For me, it depends on the mood. Most of the time I’m down with what Boracay has to offer – powdery, white sand beaches, endless parties, potentially new friends from all over the globe, and of course scenic views. But I guess I’ve had way too much of that island as I’ve frequented it roughly all my life. And to be quite frank, I’m getting tired of the lifestyle of the island. There are times that I just want to take my chill pill. And because of such, I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to go back to an island north of Panay that belongs to the town of Carles called Balbagon.
