BEST TIME TO GO: 
Before the rainy season and before the summer vacation.



Whacky Thoughts:
Bicolanos are warm people who wouldn't hesitate to answer a question or two if you feel lost around the region. Their man-made and natural treasures are as valuable as their values. I had a great time during this trip and I intend to go back when given the opportunity. Dios Mabalos Bicol!
