The island paradise

It was my first time in Siargao, the island paradise and surfer's capital of the Philippines.

- By ANTONIO M. CLAPAROLS

We boarded a PAL turboprop and landed at Sayak Airport about an hour and a half later. A van was waiting for us and, after a scenic 45-minute ride, we arrived at Villa Cali.

What struck me immediately was how happy and healthy everyone looked. Perhaps it's all the surfing—or maybe it's simply the way island life flows here. The environment is visibly sustainable, with lush forests, thriving mangrove swamps and vibrant coral reefs dotting the seascape. Siargao is alive and flourishing.
