One of our church's tradition is to have an outing during holy week to and this year, we went to Matabungkay beach resort and truly that we had a great and memorable time. Story time of our experience in Matabungkay beach resort, actually at first we were not that pleased to the place that we saw because it is too crowded and the beach itself is not that quite pleasing to see. Until some "bangkero" approach us and then offer us some water activities and of course to make our trip memorable, we agreed and try the snorkeling and island hopping. Truly that it is one of a kind experience! The island hopping experience is so good, we reach the other island that has a blue clear water and have a bunch of corals that really caught our attention. After an hour, we reached the middle of the beach and do the snorkeling and it was really good especially that water itself and the underwater corals and fishes because of that, the bad vibes that we have experience at first changed because of some water activities that really gives us the best experience.
