“Be ready to spend half a day on an island, para ma-enjoy ninyo ito nang todo bago kayo lumipat sa iba pang isla,” shares host Drew Arellano.

With an entrance fee of PhP 1,500 per head, the island boasts pure white sand, crystal clear waters, and adorable sea creatures like turtles and giant clams.
