Spending the Holy Week in Puerto Galera should be included in every Filipino’s to-do list. It was an experience entirely on its own league. It was holy yet fun, spiritual yet physical, inward yet outward. One can be a hedonist and evangelist at almost the same time. There were parties on the eve of Thursday but came Friday, people meditated and reflected on life and the suffering of Jesus Christ (which I really did, I hope others did it too!). The only major glitch was that finding a decent yet cheap accommodation was close to impossible. The rates went as high as quadruple of the off-peak charges.
Escaping the Pricey Accommodation? Why not try renting or bringing your own tent to the beach? For a minimal fee, one can really say GOOD MORNING to the cool beach of Galera. One can also set up the tent near the mangroves (free of charge) but finding a toilet will be the challenge.
Wanting to eat affordable yet uncompromised meal? Enjoy the Platto di Pasta Italian resto. For just Php 145.00, one can enjoy authentic Italian pizza or spaghetti. The pasta was cooked al dente and ingredients were fresh.
Looking for something to watch in the beach? The barkers (the ones holding the megaphones) were pleasurable to look for. Their comic antics and punch lines will surely put a smile in your tanned face.
