My Sojourn To Siquijor

Port of Siquijor

History has it, the island of Siquijor was known as  Isla del Fuego (Island of Fire) because of the swarm of fireflies that lit the twilight but infamously notorious as Mystic Island owing to traditional healing and so called sorcery however , Siquijor has its own magical spell to entice its visitors; from antique churches, resplendent waterfalls, gorgeous beaches let alone the alluring cerulean waters.

 Lazi Convent

St. Isidore Church

1^st stop we went to the century old St. Isidore Convent and Church in Lazi, it is the largest convent in the Philippines, sauntering into its hallways felt like you were stepping back in time,  an architectural landmark located in the middle of the town,  the panoramic setting of the church felt like you were on movie scene of Twilight-series.

Salagdoong Beach, Maria, Siquijor

One of the most exciting activities we made was cliff diving at Salagdoong Beach in the municipality of Maria, it was a bit scary but the thrill brought about jumping from the base point was an awesome feeling, I jumped three timesjust to feed my ceaseless enthusiasm. (see the video above)

Dumanjug Beach, Siquijor, Siquijor

What better way to end our day was touring the whole island of Siquijor with the sun settling down in our back drop, from the capital town of Siquijor, to San Juan, Lazi, Maria, E.Villanueva, Larena and back to Siquijor. The rustic towns that composed the whole province that we passed by has its own allure, keeping its carefree ambiance that makes the place truly mystical.
