The Philippine archipelago is composed of 7,107 islands, some of which are uninhabited and some are considered as the best getaway vacation destinations where white sand beaches and clear blue waters abound. The "wandering builder" is privileged to have visited, snorkeled and scuba dived some of the pristine waters of preserved marine sanctuaries around the Visayan group of islands...a particular favorite is the Balicasag group of islands near Bohol. Through this blog we will be exploring not only the beautiful places but we will immerse our sights and thoughts with the other side of our society...the not so beautiful side of it.....we will see luxury...glamour and be forewarned because we will also see lots of poverty....we will mingle with the poorest of the poor. We will see sights that may not be suitable for the faint-hearted.
Join me as I wander and explore the different parts of the Philippines...this is our country... this is our story, this is our journey! We will explore beautiful beaches and oceans...unfortunately we will also see the ugly part of society. We will also meet the poorest of the poor...we will witness poverty. Take your walking sticks, we will be climbing hills and mountains,we will be exploring city streets...barrios and barangay roads....and at times we will trek where there are no roads.
