Incredible view of “Elemnan Manok Bay”, the undeveloped beach.

Who love the beach? We all love the beach, the blue sea water, the cold breeze, the white sand and the beautiful coral reefs and additional the beauty of sunset.

We spend money to visit beautiful beaches we want just to relax and to fulfill you vacation needs.

There’s one beach in Negros Island that has beautiful view,it has a white sand, you can witness the sunset every afternoon, you can see the beautiful Danjugan island in front of it but no cottages around the area, this place is open for anyone and the place is not developed yet.

The virgin beach of “Elemnan Manok”. Drift woods are scattered around, no man made structure are built and all are natural.
The owner maintain the natural beauty of this place and ignoring high offers from buyers.



Elemnan Manok is located at Cauayan Negros Occidental. This place is known to have a beautiful beach resort like Punta Bulata and El Tzino. There are several areas that are not developed yet and one of it is the Elemnan Manok Bay. So far, it is not yet popular and few people knew this place.

We had a chance to visit the place with the help of our friend and we spent time swimming and enjoying the beautiful place.

White Sand, Crystal water and colorful coral reefs.
Everyone can enjoy the place, you can bring your swimming gear and check the beautiful and natural marine life.



It’s totally free to visit the place. It is walking distance from Punta Bulata white beach resort located in Balaring Elihan Cauayan Negros Occidental. The area is away from the community, going there is a little bit difficult, no transportation and it took 30 minutes of walk.

However, the place is really a stress reliever. You can feel the fresh air, you can just simply find place to settle your self behind those big rocks.

The white sand and fine pebbles will surely attract you. This is the one of the most beautiful things in there. You can pick shells, you can play with little crabs and enjoy different colorful fishes. But careful of sea orchin, a lot of them are scartered anywhere.

You can see the beautiful Danjugan Island.
Danjugan Island is a popular island that preserve marine life and wild life. It is even featured in National Geographic.



While enjoying the place, you can as well enjoy the beautiful Danjugan island view. Danjugan was actually popular island in town. However? this place is not open for public and only for study about marine and wildlife purposes are allowed to dock and visit the area.

Travel blogger story: Random Photos of beautiful sunrise, sunset and greenfield in Negros Occidental

Good morning fellas, it is a cold morning here. Yesterday i visited one of my relative place and spent 1 night with them. Their place is just besides the main high way where you can see the beautiful sunrise and feel the fresh air while enjoying the view of green rice field.

I never appreciated the beauty of this place since i arrived at night time.

When i woke this morning, i saw how peaceful and beautiful the place is. Its a wow!it was very relaxing, away from noisy city, i can feel the fresh air, birds and insects are chirping around it seems like they are happy to see the light of the sun.

Sunrise, Green rice field and peaceful place.

It was taken early morning today at 6am, i woke up early morning and went out from the house and see the beautiful and natural beauty of the earth.

This is what i like in province, away from rush hour, away from traffic and i just simply love the place and the surrounding. The green rice field is really a good thing to see after a long hour of sleep.

Its the best morning, when you wake up each day and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding.

It is nice to live life in here

If given the chance, i would like to live here for the rest of my life. This is what i dreamed, to live life away from stressful place.

This place is located at Sipalay, it is one of the peaceful Baranggay in the City and it is called Kubay. There are few residences in here including my relatives and their number one source of income is farming.

People here are very hospitable amd friendly. Way of living is simply, they just spend most of their time taking care of their rice field and they will have enough supply of foods after the harvest.

No worries for the transportation, buses and passenger jeep are passing every hour.

There place is located newr the high way or main road, going to another city is very easy.

There buses and jeeps are passing by every hour. Going to another city may took hours or more but waiting for a bus is not a problem. Away from the city, no problem. This place is just walking distance from the sea shore where you can buy fresh foods from the sea or you can visit small market nearby to by fish.

Welcome to Dagsa Place Bayawan City and meet the people behind these creative work arts made of bamboo!

Welcome to Dagsa Place where you can find amazing art works and amazing people behind this creative arts and place. I knew Tatay Dagsa way back 2013 when i still a student, they conducted a free workshop and seminar on how to save the earth sharing their advocates. Tatay Dagsa or Tata Felcon made his name when he traveled around Philippines using his home made skate board, with him is his advocacy to help earth by recycling drift woods and other garbages. Dagsa place is referring to a place where most of the recycling process are made. Tatay Dagsa which is his real name is Tatay Felcon Rivera who took the initiative to promote and push through his movements. Dagsa is an illongo dialect for drift wood.

The Dagsa continues until Marlon Ponsoy or also known as @flabbergast-art came in  together with the @walkofhope project to help develop the dagsa place. The dagsa place today is way different from before. New look, new activities, improbements, work shop and new opportunity for the people to enjoy the place.

This is how the Old Dagsa Place looks like.
 It was just a simple native small house made of bamboo, Nanay Dagsa the wife of tatay dagsa used to sell foods and other coffee before.

This is the old Dagsa Place, it was an old native house where Wife of Tatay Dagsa used to sell foods and coffee. It is still the place where the recycling of drift wood are being made. It was just look like a simple small store, nothing special in it, having no life and not so attractive.

The last time i visited the place, we used to sleep in that small native house. It was just small that can accommodate 5 person. But the place is cool, it is just few distance away from the sea shore. Besides of that little house, is the road going to the end of the boulevard.
