Althea Ablan, Saviour Ramos enjoy island-hopping in San Vicente, Palawan


El Nido and Coron are the most famous tourist destinations in Palawan, but if you wish to go off the beaten path, head to the town of San Vicente!

In another episode of "Summer Sparkle" on "24 Oras," Wednesday, Althea Ablan and Saviour Ramos showed the Kapuso viewers the fun activities that they can do in the town.

San Vicente is located in the northern part of Palawan. It's halfway between El Nido and Puerto Princesa, which is three to four hours away by car.

Althea and Saviour went on an island tour, with Exotic Island as their first stop to see the sea turtles.

"Bago tayo pumunta ng Exotic Island sabi nila minsan walang turtle, pero lucky tayo na mayroon kaming naka-interact na sea turtles," said Althea.

From February to March, tourists can witness turtles hatching from their eggs. An NGO, Sagip Pawikan Conversation, also helps handle them.

Althea and Saviour then visited to the new Peña Plata, which is a camping site.

They also headed to Luli Sandbar. It gets its name from the Filipino words,  "lulubog" ("sinking") during high tide and "lilitaw" ("appearing") during low tide.

The sandbar is also known as Starfish Island, where, of course, Althea saw no less than four starfish.

Their last stop was Long Beach, the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines. It has a length of 14.7 km.

In between all that, they also enjoyed a fresh seafood boodle lunch.

"Na-realize ko sa trip na you have to enjoy the moment kung nasaan ka ngayon," said Saviour.

Earlier, Sparkle stars Elijah Alejo and Bruce Roeland explored Mt. Secret and the White Rock in Bulacan.
