playgrounds

this has got to be one of the best views i've ever seen. do not be mistaken, this is not dakak or a beach resort in palawan or cebu. neither is this in bohol. this natural harbor is one of imelda marcos's favorite places in her native tacloban, leyte.

aptly called imelda's plaground, the place is cemented with pristine black sand that seemed to have been bejewelled with diamonds as it glitters under the fervent heat of the sun. the limestone formation, that from ages, stands witness to the clashes of the waves, and the luscious greens that cover the hills all add grandeur to a place serenely bewitching....captivating.

a child will never lose yearning for this place. i was a child again when i was there. it sent me shivers that nobody noticed and not even i could explain. this part of nature gave me a fresher perspective of how i should appreciate my country even more. it is most noteworthy to say that the philippines showcases playgounds like this...untapped, unspoiled, unparalleled...unmistakenly great...undeniably nature at its best.
