Survival Mode @ Balete Island, Pagbilao, Quezon

Initial destination was Malaguinoan Island in Polillo, then became Laiya in Batangas. Resorts were too expensive (as per Gem) and we already set our mind that we will be spending our long weekend in an island with tent accommodation, so we headed to the southern part of Quezon. While we were having our breakfast, we continued searching for a nearby island thru our mobile internet. There we found Puting Buhangin and Kwebang Bukas.After getting the necessary directions, we headed to the "port" and ask around. Unfortunately, waves were too big on the way to Puting Buhangin. Hence, our bangkero recommended Balete Island.

No electricity, no nearby residents (small community is on the other side of the island), no deep well, no nothing.. AND WE SURVIVED for 3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS!!!
