Dear Visitor,

Welcome to North Philippines!

For this issue of NorthBound Magazine, we feature eco-adventure activities and destinations in North Philippines, particularly in Cagayan. The province is known for its many spectacular caves. We all know about Callao Caves and its chapel, but nearby are less visited caves that offer equally pristine formations. You might want to consider them when you visit.

At the northern tip of the province is an island than beckons to the off the beaten track traveler—Palaui. People go there to visit its centuries-old lighthouse and enjoy the relative privacy of its beaches. With breathtaking views of landscape against blue skies and pristine waters, a trip to the island is worth it.

Have you ever heard of pancit batil patung? You’ll have to try that out when you visit Tuguegarao.

We also touch on activities such as boating and trekking in Zambales, snorkeling in Pangasinan, beaches, waterfalls and surfing Aurora and many others. So as the cool (and sunny) weather sets in, take that adventure and drive up to North Philippines. You’ll never regret rediscovering the North!

Welcome!

Renie U. Ticzon is the President of North Philippines Visitors Bureau; and Vice President for Marketing of Manila North Tollways Corporation.

WELCOME LETTER

Dear Northbound Team,

I’m impressed with the fascinating destinations featured in NorthBound that stir the excitement and eagerness in me to explore more of North Philippines. My favorite article was the Lakbay Norte 2 from Issue 8. It’s a great, brief, and helpful tool for every traveler, such as myself, to have around during trips Northbound!

More power,

Renz Castrodes, Davao City

“It’s a great, brief and helpful tool for every traveler!”

Dear NPVB,

One time I came across a particular hotel and was able to read a copy of Northbound. There are certain tourist spots that are not known to many. It’s a good thing these places and activities are featured in your magazine. I can’t wait until my next travel. I’ll choose to go and experience the best of what the North has to offer.

Best of Luck,

Mike Ando, Zamboanga City

LETTERS FROM

THE READERS

We’d love to hear from you! Send us your stories, comments, suggestions, and questions to [email protected]

tapped Jessanie’s back as she gazed towards the lake and mountains nearby.

Then I asked our boatmen about the legendary stories in the area. It seemed like a dream at first. But when everything around me started to become tangible, I finally realized that I wasn’t dreaming.

I was on a boat navigating the vastness of Mapanuepe Lake, Zambales.

The lake, in its serenity and dormancy, gives the impression that it was meant to be there—a notion that would soon be dispelled by a quick tour courtesy of our boatmen. The calmness of the lake is an interesting contrast to the story behind its

formation, which could have easily been taken out of a horror novel.

Mapanuepe Lake, also referred to as “Lawa” by locals, is said to be the home of a 7-8 feet creature. The notion has since been dispelled by American TV series “Destination of Truth” when it was featured in the show. Experts later explained that the shadows under water might just have been schools of fish, which formed a creature-like shape when seem from above.

More interesting than the tales of a local Loch Ness monster, however, is the story of the lake’s origins. It was on June 15,

1991 when one of the 20th century’s worst volcanic eruptions happened—Mount Pinatubo erupted, leaving many Zambaleños devastated.

At the same time, however, Pinatubo was creating what would later be the lake.

Lahar started flowing, blocking the passages of the main river and other tributaries around San Marcelino. When the rains came pouring, the rivers overflowed, flooding the villages of Aglao and Pili. Eventually, the two barangays were submerged—today Aglao is completely submerged while Pili is inundated.

The events led to the birth of a lake which is now 70 to 80 feet deep.

Supposedly, no lives were claimed when the two villages were submerged. Our boatmen said that Aglao residents were warned of the dangers beforehand, giving them enough time to evacuate.

However, I was cynical about the claim. Most Filipinos believe that our faith can spare us from cataclysmic events, whether it be a man-made or natural. It was the same mentality of the people of Daraga when they sought shelter in Cagsawa church that was eventually devastated by the lava.

By Roman Leo A. Reyman

MAPANUEPE LAKE

Maybe, just maybe, when the floods started to enter parts of Aglao and Pili, some of the residents ran into the two-storey Santo Nino as well. The church, unfortunately, was not spared from the wrath of nature; it is partially submerged in what is now Mapanuepe lake. The steel cross of the Santo Nino church however, is still visible. Today, no accounts exist to

prove (or disprove) how many lives were lost when the town was submerged.

As we were touring the lake, our boatmen continued to recount the details of their experiences when the two barangays were submerged. Along the way, they showed us the “before and after” of each village.

The lake, in its serenity and dormancy, gives the impression that it was meant to be there—a notion that would soon be dispelled after a quick tour courtesy of our boatmen.

PATHWAYS

They also shared yet another chilling tale from the area.

According to them, the lake claims one life a year; if it fails to take a life, two people die the following year. Residents have also claimed that they hear screeches coming from the lake at night—supposedly, two marines also disappeared mysteriously after taking a swim in the lake.

These kinds of folktales may seem just like the typical horror-story-from-a-distant-place, but it felt different hearing it from people who actually witnessed the event. And at the end of the day, it wasn’t hearing creepy and disturbing stories that mattered, but knowing how the locals prevailed in the end.

The monster creature may be a fiction but its story—though tragic—is something treasured by the residents of Aglao because it gives them link to their old village.

We explored Mapanuepe Lake for more than an hour, including our attempts to climb the peak of the church’s cross. Our boatmen also docked our bangka on the other side of the lake so we could

have a view of the scene’s surrounding mountains.

One boatman brought us to his nipa hut built amidst thick greenery. While we were there, we learned that the town of San Marcelino in Zambales still functions with a barter system—people bring fruits and vegetables to the town in exchange for meat and rice.

Jessanie and I boarded our rented vehicle after our trip, finally feeling less alien in our own province. We were also relieved to know that the mining facility nearby had already closed down, bringing the waters of Mapanuepe back to healthy levels. Recently, it had been polluted because of the mercury from mining.

It’s amazing to think about how the Mount Pinatubo eruption both destroyed and created something for locals—facts that can make you both fear and revere the volcano. It claimed lives and terrain, but it gave back something else in return.

It makes you wonder: after Mapanuepe Lake, what other surprises could nature come up with?

Words by Kara Santos, Photos by Jerome Baluyut

CENTERSTAGE

On the North Eastern fringes of the Philippines sits Faro de Cabo Engaño

or Cape Engaño, a 19th century lighthouse atop a hill. For decades, the

lighthouse has safely guided vessels passing through the Babuyan channel

from the West Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean. But time and nature

have not been kind to the lighthouse—tree roots and branches snake

through the cracks in the roofless stone structure, while weeds grow on its

pillars. The winding metal stairway leading up to the top of the lighthouse,

is also rusted beyond use. Separated from mainland Luzon by rough and

unpredictable seas, the structure itself has been abandoned; no one has

worked or lived here for decades—and that’s just fine.


FAST FACTS

Cape Engaño Lighthouse at Punta Verde point in Palaui was first constructed in

1888 during the Spanish Colonial era and was first lit on December 30, 1892.

The National Museum declared the station an “important cultural property,”

qualifying it for restoration.

The lighthouse is not the easiest place to get to. By land, it takes a 10-12 hour

bus ride to get to Tuguegarao, followed by another three to four hour trip to

Santa Ana, Cagayan by van or public bus. From the San Vicente port in Santa Ana,

it will take another hour or so by fishing boat to the islands of Palaui.

There are no accommodations in Cape Engaño, so adventurous souls should

bring camping equipment, including potable water if they plan to stay the night.

The shabbiness and pallor is all part of Cape Engaño’s charm. Its condition adds an air of mystery to the isolation and striking seascape; rocky cliffs and white sand beaches define the coastline of the sparsely populated Palaui Island, where the deserted lighthouse is located. On a clear day from the top of the hill, you can get a postcard-perfect view of the sea against the clear blue sky. Setting foot in the lighthouse is like stepping into another time, making you feel like an intrepid explorer from the 19th century who’s out to rediscover something lost and forgotten. Needless to say, an adventurous spirit is a must when visiting Palaui Island. We woke up the morning of our visit to gloomy gray skies, with the threat of a downpour hanging over our heads. Our group headed off to the port of San Vicente in Cagayan, where you can find the 642 kilometer marker—the last kilometer marker in Northeast Luzon tracing the distance from Luneta in Manila.

There, boats were waiting to take us on our island-hopping trip. After a 40-minute boat ride through relatively mild waves, we made it to our first stop at the northwestern part of Palaui Island, Siwang Cove, which is dotted with tiny white corals and hermit crabs. According to locals, the waters around Palaui Island are part of a marine reserve, and game fishing is popular in the area.The waves were much stronger as we approached Cape Engaño. The swells made our boats drift like a roller-coaster along the sea, and sometimes we lost sight of the boats in front of us. The group breathed a collective sigh of relief upon reaching the island, even if the golden sand on the shores of the island sank beneath our feet. This made it hard to walk on the shore, but we were just glad to be on something solid. As we climbed the hill towards the lighthouse, the weather cleared up a bit, giving us a better view of the island. The hike up to the lighthouse

is relatively easy but I still had to catch my breath a few times. Breathlessness aside, one can’t help but stop to admire the scenery a few times. On one side of the island lies a plain separating the calm cove where the boats dock from the rocky shoreline facing the Pacific Ocean. On the northeast side of the island is a cliff, where you can see the jagged islets that keep Palaui company—the uninhabited Dos Hermanas (two

sisters) and Camiguin (North) island.After a few more minutes of climbing, our group finally reached the lighthouse. As I caught my breath and looked around, I knew that this was one of those places where losing yourself in the scenery is as easy as pie. If wanderlust runs through your veins, Palaui is one of those places you definitely have to visit.


Ditumabo Mother Falls Located in Barangay Ditumabo in the town of San Luis, it’s one of the major attractions of the province. According to locals, it’s the biggest waterfalls in the province at a height of 140 feet—which explains why it’s called the “mother falls.” Lush greeneries welcome you at the start of the short 30-minute trek to the waterfalls. Expect river crossing and climbing some rock formations as you traverse through the trail. Small waterfalls, stunning rock formations, and luscious undergrowths are also a sight to behold along the way.

Digisit Beach and Rock Formations Sculpted through years of battering from crashing waves, these eye-catching rock formations will leave visitors in awe. The islets, located in Barangay Zabali in Baler, contain abundant greenery and remarkable bonsai-like trees. The craggy rocks make for an ideal location for “cam-whoring,” photo shoots, and the token tourist shots.

Aniao Islet The two “stunted” islets lie south of the Dimadimalangat islet in Barangay Zabali, Baler. The islets, which look like bullets poking out of the sea, feature bushes, vegetation, small trees, and lush greens on their surface.

Digisit Waterfalls Located near the beach in Barangay Zabali, a visit to the waterfalls requires a bit of hiking on the side of a hill. No worries though, as the sights and sounds of the Digisit waterfalls are well-worth the two-minute hike.

Ermita Hill It’s the highest point in Baler, so it’s no wonder that a picturesque overhead view of the towns of Baler, Sambang, and Cemento await climbers. Even the foot of the hill contains visit-worthy sights for visitors: “Tromba Marina,” a site built to commemorate the families who climbed up the hill to survive a catastrophic tsunami that happened on December 27, 1735.

Sabang Beach Surfing Site Sabang Beach is one of the country’s prime surfing sites, and is Baler’s source of pride, alongside its rich history and natural wonders. The beach’s long and gray shoreline, coupled with a steady source of waves from the Pacific Ocean make it a popular destination for veteran and newbie surfers alike.

WHAT’S UP CAGAYANRich in eco-tourism and adventure activities, heritage architecture, and a wide array of food delicacies, Cagayan will never fail to entice the weekend traveler with the variety of what it can offer.

While passing through its valleys and hilly countryside, visitors will find themselves amazed at the wonders of Cagayan’s landscape. Less-knowledgeable visitors miss out on the beauty of Cagayan. If they only knew what’s there in store for them.

The Cagayan North Convention and Visitors Bureau (CNCVB) has been a partner of North Philippines Visitors Bureau (NPVB) in promoting Cagayan as a tourist destination, starting initially by promoting religious heritage and religious events in Cagayan.

One of their biggest projects is the Marian Voyage of Peace. Now on its third year, the Marian Voyage of Peace attracts thousands of Marian devotees from all over the Philippines to take part and witness Marian images from all over the Philippines in one destination. CNCVB is currently holding it once every other year. The next event is set on June 2013.

CNCVB is currently headed by tourism envoy Ms. Caridad Esquibil. Part of the plans of CNCVB is to increase tourism support in the province by providing accurate travel information to visitors and increasing awareness as to what Cagayan can offer. Part of the vision of CNCVB is to organize the province into a tourist friendly destination, capable of handing the needs of tourists of all kinds - from backpackers to adventure seekers, and even those looking forward to holding conferences amidst Cagayan’s wonders.

The Cagayan province is known for a lot of things—but if you’re an

adrenaline junkie who gets a kick out of cave exploration, Cagayan is for you. Cagayan is currently positioning itself as the Caving Capital of the Philippines, which sounds just about right—it has great spelunking options for beginners and veterans alike. Many of the caves can be found in the town of Peñablanca, a short drive away from Tuguegarao City. From the entrance of the Callao Eco-Tourism Zone, it’s just a few dozen steps up to Callao Cave.

Callao is most known for its large cavern that has since been converted into a chapel by locals; the very same cavern has adorned tourism brochures of the province

and Cagayan Valley many times over. The cave has seven chambers which you can explore—several with natural openings on top from which the sunlight peeks through .

Also part of the Peñablanca Protected Landscapes and Seascapes is a better-preserved and less-visited cave also within the Callao Ecotourism Zone, nearby Sierra Cave. It’s a tough 20-meter steep climb to get to the entrance but once you’re inside, navigating becomes manageable.

The crystal and limestone formations inside are very fragile, which is why they take extra care in protecting the cave by limiting people inside. In fact, they only take in a maximum of twelve people at a time.

It’s cool near the entrance. But as you

move deeper inside the cave, it gets really warm. I enjoyed the spectacular formations and observing the animal life inside the cave. It’s a surprise how they survive in such harsh conditions, considering how much of a hard time we had even if we experienced it just for a few seconds. We turned off all our lights and kept quiet for a while just to find out the feeling of silence in total darkness.

Since we had our cameras with us, we decided to leave through the entrance, instead of the popular exit that entails crawling in the mud.Another attraction of the area is the Pinacanauan River which is perfect for a boat trip. There are boats for hire below Callao Cave. There’s an area a few minutes by boat from Callao where you can have a picnic, which is what we did—complete with raw

meat and fish to grill. Just make sure to clean up after if you do plan to have a barbeque in the area.

After relaxing a bit and taking a cat nap, we went back to the jump-off point.

Another attraction during sundown are the bats who leave one of the caves in the area simultaneously. I was told that the place used to have a several eagles which would feast on the bats as they flew out. But for some reason, however, they’ve since disappeared.

Cagayan is a weekend trip from Manila you have to try. The drive to Tuguegarao is between 9 to 10 hours via the NLEX, SCTEx and Maharlika Highway.

I was staring hungrily at the piping hot noodle dish served before me. The layers of sahog (ingredients) were making my mouth water:

crushed chicharon (pork rind cracklings), ground carabeef, sliver of pork liver, mung bean sprouts (togue), scallions, julienned carrots, and cab-bages on a bed of hand made fresh miki.

Tuguegarao City’s sumptuous pansit

A beaten egg, cooking from the heat of the other ingredients, topped it all. The sumptuous aroma was already filling the small eatery. Luckily, I was in pansit batil patung heaven, ready with fork in hand for my meal.

Noodle dishes are quite common in the Philippines. While it is common in most places, there are a handful of towns and cities that have their own take of the humble fare, taking in the locale’s own identity. The northern city of Tuguegarao in Cagayan province is already famous for the adventure, natural,

and heritage destinations but first time visitors’ curiosity

will immediately be piqued when almost all eateries,

from carinderias and restaurants offer pansit

batil patung (or patong).

The ubiquitous fare is a noodle dish

with a mix of ingredients—

vegetables are first sautéed and seasoned then transferred

into a dish or container. What

follows is the meat, which is cooked in water to

make a broth. Once tender and ready, it is then removed and fresh miki is placed in the pan. An egg

is beaten in, stirred, seasoned, and the dish is left to simmer. After a minute or two, a portion of the soup is ladled out and then left to simmer again. Once the broth has reduced, the dish is ready and finally served on a plate. The meat and stir fried vegetables are then added, fresh egg is whisked (batil) and placed on top (patung).

There are variations of pansit batil patung, and ingredients can vary (some add slivers of hotdog or lechon). Usually, it is egg, sunny side up, placed on top before serving. Once on the table, a cup of the soup and the pamasingo, a shallow container with freshly chopped onions, toyo, vinegar and kalamansi juice completes the ensemble. One can either drink the soup or pour it on the pansit batil patung and just consume with gusto.

The dish is filling enough and is a meal in itself. There are many eateries around the city and most locals have their own favorite noodle place. Popular ones are Gretchen’s, Paul Louis, Long Life, Joemar’s, Amigo’s, and Nangs. Pansit batil patung can cost from P30 to P80 depending on the place, size, and number of ingredients included.

One thing’s for sure though—one should never leave Tuguegarao City without savouring this popular and delicious fare.

PATHWAYS

“Kapurpurawan,” literally means “white” in the local dialect—a fitting name to a majestic rock formation carved from thousands of years of weathering thanks to water and wind. The rock formation’s stark whiteness makes it stand out from its surround landscape, as does the way it changes colors during sun set, much like Ayers Rock in Australia. Kapurpurawan in Laoag City is near the Cape Bojeador lighthouse in Burgos.

THE TACLOBOS ANDSEA TURTLES OF THE

Hundred IslandsWORDS BY BENJ ESPINA, PHOTOS BY REYNALDO TORRES LIVARA, JR.

The Hundred Islands of Alaminos, Pangasinan remains to be one of the most underappreciated natural attractions in Northern Philippines. Located near the westernmost point of Pangasinan, the series of islands may look isolated in the midst of the calm azure waters, but the 124 islands are actually all within 20 minutes by boat from the mainland.

The trick to making the most out of a weekend to the Hundred Islands is to venture off the beaten track—which in this case, means opting to visit the less developed islands.

As one would expect, the islands offer many types of activities for different kinds of travelers. Families on holiday can rent out cottages in the three most developed islands in the national park; there’s Governor’s (where Pinoy Big Brother was shot), Children’s (named for the shallow waters around the island), and “Quezon” (the largest of the islands).

For those who are a little bit more adventurous and would want to base with the ecology and natural wonders of the isles, snorkeling is definitely the way to go.

Like other places in the Philippines, Pangasinan’s waters are teeming with marine life. The national park status of the islands has allowed the government to protect the diverse ecology that calls the Hundred Islands home. There are numerous snorkeling sites around the islands—just ask the local boatmen who are well-versed on where these reef patches can be found. Among the biggest attractions in the park are the taclobos or giant clams.

Taclobos are among the world’s largest mollusks. During their adult stage, these bivalves stay in place, relying on the algae that live near their mouths to supply them with the sustenance they need. Their immobile lives have also left them vulnerable to poachers, although several measures have been taken to protect the giant clams.

Want an up-and-close encounter with the taclobos? Near the Quezon Island pier, you can find a taclobo nursery. The smaller clams are seeded in small enclosures, keeping them away from predators as they grow. Part of the nursery’s advocacy is to educate tourists on the need to keep the balance of the Hundred Islands’ ecosystem.


PATHWAYS

Aside from the clams, reef fish are also a common sight in the snorkeling areas around the Hundred Islands. These colorful fish find refuge in the hard and soft corals endemic to the area. If you’re lucky, you might just see the ultimate prize when snorkeling in the Hundred Islands (and in the Philippines for that matter)—a sea turtle!

Studies suggest that the Hundred Islands is home to at least two species of sea turtles. Sightings are rare, but when the waters are calm and visibility is good, the chances of seeing one should improve dramatically.

Despite the fact that the islands are rather near to each other, the currents that run through the passageways in between can be tricky for novice swimmers. It’s advisable to take a boat or kayak out to a snorkel site rather than swimming out to the spot even if the water seems calm.

It would be ideal if you were to bring your own mask, snorkel, and fins but if you don’t have your own set yet, there are plenty of hawkers near the pier who rent out equipment (along with standard camping gear) for a reasonable fee.

Even if you’ve been to the Hundred Islands before, never think that you’ve seen it all. Each island has wonders and secrets of its own—both in the landscape and the seascape under the waves. The Hundred Islands National Park is one of the most underrated attractions in Northern Philippines—you just have to know where its wondrous secrets and unique charm lay hidden.
