Bali, now? It’s Bolinao

BETWIXT AZURE sea and verdant forested mountainside –
The whisper of the cool breeze,
the soft murmur of the waves,
The swish and swoosh of trees,
of wind soughing in the canopy of leaves,
The buzz of bees from bloom to bloom fleeting,
birds tweeting, chirping, trilling –
Nature’s own orchestration, symphony supreme.
Far-off horizon in honey gold bursting,
into flaming orange melding,
wisps of grey clouds wafting,
approaching darkness presaging.
The glory of Creation unfolding
right at the day’s ending.
Lyrical, mystical, romantic
at G Resort, can’t help but wax poetic.

ALREADY ALLURING unto itself, thus the perfect vacation home, G Resort makes the perfect springboard for a tour, aye, immersion, in Bolinao’s myriad attractions, including cool waterfalls and enchanting caves, wind-swept and wave-washed rock formations, a giant clam sanctuary, a lunch cruise on a native raft along the Balingasay River – the country’s second cleanest waterway, food – glorious seafood, and the iconic Cape Bolinao lighthouse.

Finding fine-feathered friends

NOT ONLY to the trained eye but even just to the curious one has G Resort become an avian viewing spot. Aside from the “usual” swiftlets, rock pigeons, small gulls and herons, “exotic” finds at the resort are warbling white eyes, woodswallows, Asian glossy starlings, Coppersmith barbets, pied triller and oriental magpie-robin, captured here in their fine-feathered glory.

Loboc, be like Balingasay

SEAFOOD GALORE ala boodle on board a thatch-roofed bamboo-floored balsa pulled by a small motorized banca on the Philippines’ second cleanest river. A profusion of different varieties of mangroves and fruiting nipa palms along the river banks. The grilled sungayan, delectably unforgettable. Photos: Nelson Gonzales/Bong Lacson

Cape Bolinao lighthouse

HISTORIC AS it can ever get – built in 1905 by a trio of American, British, and Filipino engineers, the second highest – topped only by Cape Bojeador lighthouse in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, showcasing a 360-degree view of the West Philippine Sea. Atin ito! Photos: Bong Lacson

 

Rocking and rolling

ROLLING SEA crashing against jagged rocks. Banca for four swaying as waves crest and fall. Rock formations for exploring, climbing, or just viewing. Oh, did somebody just jump off that cliff? Photos: Nelson Gonzales/Bong Lacson
