Entry #27. Photographer: Abraham Toribio II. El Nido, Palawan, March 2009. Taken with a Canon PowerShot G10. “I always take pictures of sunsets wherever I go. I find the deep orange colors of the sky and the surrounding landscape breathtaking. I especially like this photo because it captures a fisherman walking towards his boat at the end of the day. It’s so casual and ordinary.”

Entry # 28. Photographer: Frencel Tingga. Manoc-Manoc, Boracay, December 2011. Taken with a Nikon D3100. “Tulubhan, Monoc-Manoc of Boracay has a stunning view of Bulabog Beach, the rugged, windy side of the island and haven of wind and kite surfers. This is where I go whenever I want to avoid the crowded White Beach. The view here is equally beautiful and panoramic, and the strong sea breeze is invigorating.”

Entry #29. Photographer: Marianne Elize S. Suba. Bacuit Bay at night. Photo taken last August 2012 at El Nido, Palawan with a Canon EOS Kiss X3.

Entry #30. Photographer: Ryan Machado. “Most island-hopping tours in El Nido end at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Seeing the shore of Bacuit Bay lined with hotels and inns signals the end of the day’s tour, and in this case our El Nido 3-day getaway.” Taken in April 2013 with a Canon EOS 1000D.

Entry #31. Photographer: April Galang. “My morning ritual in Boracay consists of getting strong coffee and calamansi muffins then eating them by the beach. This was the view that morning—calm sea, saturated sky, light not fully set in. I was only framing the lifeguard station and the kid walking then the bird decided it wanted to be in the picture.” Taken in Boracay, October 2011, with a Nikon D40.

Entry #32. Photographer: Ruddi Chris Caintic. Taken on Banana Island in November, 2013 with a Nikon D90.

Entry #33. Photographer: Ruddi Chris Caintic. The Banul Island Totem taken at Banul Island, Coron, Palawan in November, 2013 with a Nikon D90.

Entry #35. Photographer: Roselyn Bilog. “Early afternoon, rain looming on Malcapuya Island, Coron, Palawan.” Taken in October 2012 with an iPhone .

Entry #36. Photographer: Ramzen Guison. “Traveled to Boracay alone to celebrate my 30 years of existence. I always wanted to go to this heavenly place by myself and it was by far one of the best travel decisions I have ever made.” Taken in September, 2013 with a Nikon D60.

Entry #37. Photographer: Mateusz Dolega. Taken in El Nido, Palawan in December 2012.

Entry #38. Photographer: Joyce Clemencio. “The best place to get a full view of Boracay Island is Mt. Luho.” Taken with a CD-R King film camera loaded with Superia 400 film.

Entry #39. Photographer: Naomi Fontanos. “The sign of what is presumably a fish ball stand in Boracay, taken in November 2012 with a Casio Exilim camera.”

Entry #40. Photographer: Naomi Fontanos. “The sign to Diniwid Beach in Boracay, taken in November 2012 with a Casio Exilim camera.”

Entry #10. “I’m Katrina Rodrigo and this was taken in the twin lagoon in Coron, palawan in 2006 with a disposable Kodak underwater camera. It’s of my brother and sister swimming in a salt (warm, bottom) and fresh (cold, top) water combo which explains the blurred picture.
