Naval Spring Resort

The Easter Sunday was a hectic day for Christians. Besides it was also a time for bonding and outings.

The EVTP team visited another beautiful resort in Naval, Biliran Province. This time it is in a spring pool located on a mountainside of the Barangay Lucsoon about 5 kilometers from the town via the cross country road. The location is at considerable elevation from sea which make it overlooking the Calubian Strait. The opposite side is dotted with beautiful rice terraces and the wind adds up to the cool ambiance.

The resort has cottages for guests at very affordable price and food items inside the bar are sold with the same prices as convenience stores outside. The continuously flowing spring water makes the two pools cool and fresh at all times.

It is a very nice place to visit, you won't regret it I promise.

San Bernardino Pool

The San Bernardino Swimming Pool in Brgy. Manlabang, Caibiran, Biliran Province is another beauty of nature. Although it looks old in the outside, as it is convered by huge trees and volcanic rocks, the water is always fresh flowing directly from under the big boulders sorrounding the place.

The resort was once a favorite destination during summer in the locality and the nearby villages. People from other towns speak of the place to be captivating with the cold sorrounding even in the hot summer days. But, as we took a short tour of the area early on March we found out there was something needed to revive the beauty.

We felt Mother Earth's aura was really there with the cool and calm sorrounding but twigs and vines creep undaunted by unconcerned people who are supposed to maintain the invigorating scene. The rocks are full of moss and and green algae grow as if nobody cared. The nearby rocky streams are becoming a regular laundry place for the people destorying the freshness of the water that is its greatest asset.

I purposely posted this short call in here to give notice to nature lover Caibiranons or Filipinos generally to why not take a look, pour a little investment, and rebuild the place.
