A Summer Glimpse Of Sorsogon Province (Episode 1)

Sorsogon, is a province in the Philippines located in the Bicol Region (Region V). It is the southernmost province in Luzon and is subdivided into fourteen municipalities (towns) and one city. Its capital is Sorsogon City (formerly the towns of Sorsogon and Bacon) and borders the province of Albay to the north and the island province of Masbate to the southwest.

Sorsogon is at the tip of the Bicol Peninsula and faces the island of Samar to the southeast across the San Bernardino Strait and Ticao Island to the southwest. Sorsogueños is how the people of Sorsogon call themselves.

 

A 2-day escapade would give you a brief experience of some of the beautiful places in the province.

After attending the 12th Albay High School of Polangui - Polangui General Comprehensive High School (AHSP-PGCHS) General Reunion last 15 April 2017, Batch '68, for this year's get-together, had a summer glimpse of Sorsogon on the 17th and 18th of April.

We left Polangui, Albay at around 7:00 A.M. of the first day and passed by Nuestra Señora de la Porteria Parish Church (also Our Lady of the Gate Parish Church), commonly known as Daraga Church in Daraga, Albay for a moment; then, bound for Route 1 - Paguriran Island & Lagoon in Barangay Sawanga, Bacon, Sorsogon City.

We took our lunch here and waited for the low tide (usually from noon time to early afternoon) to go, on foot, to the island - which is about 150-200 meters from the shoreline.  The lagoon is still of sea water where you can have a refreshing dip.  There is no entrance fee; only for the cottage where you can place all your stuff.  You can also stay overnight in an air-conditioned room - of course, for a charge.
