In Philippines, a flight from Virac, Catanduanes to Manila or vice versa will have a sight of Tabaco City (near Legazpi City). It has a fantastic view just like in New Zealand where trilogy of Lord of the Rings was filmed. You may see few noticeable beauties from up above.
The snake-like land mass area (or should I say, hook-like) lies beautifully that is connected to the mainland. This is also the place where local people go fish or perhaps find something for their tables at home.
Behind the scattered clouds is the appearance of near-perfect-cone Mayon Volcano. It is currently ranked 11th in voting poll for the New 7 Wonders of the World. You can still raise its ranking pals and gals. (Click to vote)
If you want to have a glimpse of my Umang Man’s home, have a 15-minute boat ride from Tabaco port to San Miguel Island (not seen on the first pic). It would cost you P15-20 on a public ride to get there.
How would I go from Legaspi to Tabaco? How far / long?
Posted by Tom at October 27, 2008, 4:32 pm@ tom… if you are going to commute, probably an hour. if you have your own service, as fast as 25 minutes you can reach Tabaco Centro.
if you want to you enjoy Tabaco, i recommend you to go to Mayon skyline / Mayon Ridge View or locally known as “Mayon Resthouse”. (I’ll feature it soon.)

Mayon is so majestic ano? Our house in Bicol has Mayon for it’s view. Pagbukas mo ng window, Mayon ang makikita mo. Beautiful!
@grace…so majestic indeed. Sana maging madalas uli ang pag-uwi mo ng probinsya. Magsama ka ng mga kapamilya/kaibigan. It would be a great experience for them.
:)
Posted by neutron19 at November 5, 2008, 3:55 pmYes, I’ve brought friends already. Yung iba gusto pa pumunta din. I hope Mayon is still majestic by then.
