ILOILO: HEART of the PHILIPPINES

Summer is almost here - the searing heat of the sun, school's over, Holy Week , etc signals the start of the vacation season most of us are attuned with. And for most Ilonggos, summer means - the beach! Whether up north in the famed Isla Gigantes in Carles, the beaches of Concepcion and Ajuy; crossing to the island of Guimaras for some island hopping ; or beaches along the southern coastals towns of Oton, Tigbauan and Guimbal. Yet, others prefer the cool mountainscape of Iloilo's " Little Baguio" in Bucari, Leon . But one can experience both mountain and seascape in just one setting -at the  Kuliatan Marine Sanctuary .  " Wedged on a ledge between the mountain and the sea " (thanks  Rick Steves ) perfectly describes this marine reserve Brgy. Sinogbuhan in San Joaquin, which is around two hours from Iloilo City. But no worries since the roads are well-paved and you get to pass lots of historic churches and landmarks including the the UNESCO World Herita
