{{ April 1st Puerto Galera Philippines with Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III - Philippines President

Well, it was up at 5:30 am with a 2 hour bus ride and a 1 hour boat ride and an arrival at the port. The boat was delayed 1 hour because of the arrival of Philippine President Aquino. It was nice of him to give me a send off but really.....

You can make out the wonderful photo of him I took (he is the last fellow in yellow at the front) or the stock photo someone else took. Thank you President Aquino.

Puerto Galera is on the Island of Mindoro, 130 km south of Manila. One of the top 5 dive destinations in the world, it a appeals to all tourists. The town of Sabang is where the hotel is located. Perched on a hill, the view is spectacular.
