Have you ever experience getting tired of having a rest through exploring new things? Are you the type of person who decline to errancy? Well, if you would ask me, my response will be “I always say yes to new adventure and I will never get tired of doing it”. Since it is the ultimate source of my satisfaction and rapture. Sometimes, going to new destination is what I do as a reward for myself. This is my biggest motivation to study well and excel in my part-time jobs. I bet some of you can relate or maybe you practice this habit also.

Allow me to share something, before we move on to exploring a new attraction in our locality. As a Filipino, I assume that all of us are aware of the people’s movement during the 2022 Election. The people conducted house to house campaign in different areas for the purpose of convincing and introducing the slate of “Tropang Angat”, specifically the tandem of Leni-Kiko. Nonetheless, I am proud to share that I am one of those brave citizens or Leni supporters who chose to be a volunteer. Actually, we have a group of youth volunteers here in Bacacay. Some people would say that it’ll only bring us the feeling of exhausted and pain.

In fact, there are so many advantages we received from this act of volunteerism. First, it’s good to meet new faces, had the chance to hear the voice of the people, make new friends, explore amazing journey and we physically experience the everyday struggle of those who live in islands. The long and high roads we need to pass through is never a hindrance and reason for us to stop. Instead, we see it as a challenge that we’ll definitely transcend with the power of perseverance. Above all, the greatest benefit I got from this journey is the experience of travelling to different places and having fun at the same time. And besides, this escapade was the reason why I was able to witness the obscure beauty of Bacacay, our municipality.

The time has come! Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to explore a new tourist destination with me. Let us all step into the place where serenity and breathtaking view is what you will find. I am proud to present the “CAGBULACAO VIEW PARK”, one of the new or emerging attraction in our locality at Bacacay Albay. This park is situated along the road, in Barangay Cagbulacao which is an island. The good thing is, in the present time, most of the islands here in Bacacay can be travelled by land. Honestly, I wasn’t aware of this existing park not until we stopped by here after a day of house to house campaign in one of the island in Bacacay. See? We may be physically tired during our campaigns but we take into consideration that we should always end our day with fun and takeaways. Moreover, when it comes to transportation, you don’t need to worry as it only takes one ride for you to visit this place. One thing you will need is bravery and faith because the road on the way to this place is so high. So make sure that your driver can perform his job properly. To give you a visual view of this place, I attached here some photos. This place is one of the destinations that I consider as unsophisticated, it does not have a colorful and elegant decorations or embellishment. However, the stunning view of nature from above is what you’ll find astonishing. It has few spots where you can take good pictures, you can choose between the nipa hut that is formed like a boat and the heart-shaped photo booth in the upper section of the road. If you take pictures here, the background is what you will love the most because a nice and wide view of sky, ocean and islands in between is what you will captured. So, if you are a nature lover, this is a great place to visit so get on your way!
