VIVA FILIPINAS!

The Philippines isn't perfect. It has its flaws, it has its problems, and for many of its people, these are the only things they see. Through this blog, I hope, in some way, to show the beauty of the Philippines - from the fields, the mountains, the cities, the coastlines, the bays, the beaches, to the people, food, and the mundane - the beauty rarely noticed and not known by many of its own people.

All photos are linked to their original locations.

Sunken CemeteryCatarman, Camiguin
The sunken cemetery used to be part of the old capital of Camiguin. Mount Vulcan had four recorded eruptions. Its third eruption in 1871 sunk the cemetery and Spanish church under the sea and the fourth eruption in 1948 buried the area deeper by around 20 feet. In 1982, a large cross was built on the solidified lava to mark this old gravesite and it now a very popular diving site.
