BAKLAY SA CARAMOAN 2008 -THE END and THE NEW BEGINNINGMay 1-2, 3, 4, 2008
Dear Sir/Madam,
When I invited outdoor enthusiast last year in
Caramoan for Baklay
kan Maliliga sa Caramoan, I told and predicted that
Caramoan will be
slowly converted into Boracay like atmosphere. It
started in Gota
beach where we did our campsite last year and it did
come out that it
was our last camp there because it is now being
develop by provincial
government of Camarines Sur. 80 cabanas are now
constructed at the
said area for local/foreign toursist to stay.My
forecast is now a
reality.
I just went there last March 20, 21, 22, 2008 and guided
13 persons also
but there are a lot of changes in Caramoan so this
itinerary are For
the frustration of the tourists who went last holy
week without a
guide and just follow the i.t or info given by the
internet, they
were surprised that Gota beach, matukad island, lahus
are being
occupied by Survivor Asia right now(They leased it to
the provincial
government for 6 months)and they do not allow tourists
to come in so
if a tourists do not know other options, went back
desperate or just
stay in the towns. But in order to satisfy our
customers, we found
other islands which are also more beautiful, white
sands and isolated
and add other activities such as caving and hiking and
which made our
tourists happy and satisfied. paniman bay and Bikal
is another way
going to the islands not prohibited by provincial
government.
The Kadlagan in order that the annual Caramoan
adventure tour will be
held again this year, we visited and survey the place
on how we can
revise the activities and itinerary that will adopt at
changes at
Caramoan especially the Survivor Asia is being held at
the area.
We want our participants to still feel the ambience of
an isolated
place, wildness and free. We explore other areas and
islands and
included it for this year adventure tour.
So Participants will still more enjoy, be trilled,
have fun in
Caramoan this year.
We call this year the end and the new beginning
because this year
might be the final phase of caramoan as not yet fully
develop but the
beginning of the new era of caramoan when it will be
like a
boracay.So, come with us, now.
Last year Pasasalamat.
For the success of Baklay kan Maliliga 2007, in behalf
of Kadlagan
Outdoor Shop and Services would like to extend my
warmest gratitude
and Pasasalamat to 9 PERSON OF PILIPINAS SIERRA GROUP,
3 PERSON FROM
UPM, and 23 persons who have no group no affiliation
who came from
Manila and other parts of our country and participated
in our said
event. Mabalos po!!
We follow every possible safety regulations to ensure
the safety of
everyone in the activities. We were strict on the
participants to
wear their designated life vest every time they were
at the sea that
some of the participant forgot to remove them even
when we were
traveling by jeep on the road. We designated a
lifeguard and a first
aider who watch the participants every time they were
in the water.
We also distributed survival aid kit manual that
contains some first
aid kit and information about caramoan, about the sea,
about caving,
about first aid on jellyfish, etc. And at the caving,
we ensured to
fix ropes on the difficult path that the participants
passed. Every
time we had an activity, we always briefed them about
the activity,
terrain, and safety tips.
So our concern on participant safety fruited by
bringing all of them
home whole and kicking. Beside they enjoyed the
activities we did
hosted such as caving, and island hopping, and the
Bikol food. They
had a Summer packed life with outdoor activities for
just 3 days.
Though the weather on that side of the earth became
different that
made us decide to change and readjust instantly the
itinerary that
easily understood by our participants, we still
continued the
activities without compromising safety and enjoyment
of the said
participants.And we did all our best to serve them.
In our staff evaluation and good comments from the
texts by our
participants after the said events, we concluded the
Baklay sa
Caramoan a Success.
Mabalos also to mfpiyahoogroups.com for letting us
post the
invitation.
Truly yours,
Jojo C. Villareal-
Kadlagan
Its summer time, time to relax, rejuvenate, heal
ourselves and escape
the hot, cramming city life.Time to be slow and go back
again to the
outdoor.Time to go to a places where there is no
signal in cell phone,
(There are signals already in specified location you
just have to
find it. Sometimes it is in the middle of the
sea.He, he.)no gadgets,
no national news, no so much people and little traces
of
civilization. Simply a paradise!
