I haven’t visited my hometown Sibale for three years now. Hopefully this summer, we can go there and have the much longed-for vacation. Sad though coz hubby wont be able to accompany us. Maybe next time. He haven’t been there, but I always tell him about how beautiful our island is. Of course I am not just bragging! 🙂
I miss swimming in this place. Have good memories here too. 🙂

hi kabayan! who is Cris Ferrera? anyway, he took really gorgeous photos of your island.. it is also called maestro de ocampo, right? i checked on the romblon map and just realized how far that island is from the major islands like tablas, romblon, and sibuyan.. so, how do get there? parang ang hirap i-byahe 🙁
Cris Ferrera is a friend, he took the aerial view picture of Sibale on his way from Cagayan de Oro. The rest of the pictures were taken by Michael and Vanessa.
It's really far from Romblon mainland, Sibale is nearer to Oriental Mindoro. It's also known as Maestre de Campo. To get there, we would take a bus going to Batanggas, then ferry to Calapan, ride a van going to Pinamalayan and then motor boat going to Sibale. Hirap nga ng byahe, maraming sakay sakay, pero sulit naman. 🙂
wow! ang ganda naman ng beach!
parang "virgin" pa, sana hindi pa siya exploited at polluted katulad ng mga highly commercialized beach resorts natin
OO nga Kuya, virgin beach pa sya, hindi rin sya polluted.
wow ang ganda naman nyan… parang wala pang resorts dyan noh?
Wala pa actually. Pero marami na ring bumibisita, mga friends ng mga kababayan ko, nagdadala na lang sila ng mga tent para matulog o di kaya nakikitulog sa mga bahay bahay dun. 😀
Nice shots. nakapunta na ako sa sibale and we played basketball near the port ^_^ such an amazing place. very friendly environment too.
tn: nahulog ako sa pantalan sa sobrang kalasingan haha
Talaga, that's nice to know. Kelan ka pumunta dun? Triple meet? Ako naman sa Simara lang nakarating.
The first thought that came to my mind when I saw Sibale is that it must be some island in the Carribeans.
After venturing a bit in your blog, I discovered that it is in Philippines. I must say that it is a very pristine island. Look so unpolluted and clean. Guess it is a gem to be discovered as a tourist attraction!
Wow, thanks for your nice words about the island.
ah sa romblon pala ang sibale, di kasi ako pamilyar sa mga lugar d2 sa pinas. pwera na lang pag sinabi kung san yung lugar talaga like romblon. Napaganda ng place, namiss ko tuloy ang zamboanga.. taga dun kasi province ko.. 🙂
I love the port of sibale island very unique and ang ganda ng tubig. wow talaga..mala paraiso talaga..
taga romblon ka pala sis. ganda ng beaches no..sobra ganda talaga ng pinas…
Korak, ganda talaga ng Pinas sis, mas na-a appreciate yan ng mga nasa Singapore! 🙂
Ang ganda naman ng Sibale nayun ko lang narinig parang movie tama sabi nung isang nagcomment mukahang sa Carribean sana hindi magbago pag nadikubre ng mga magtatayo ng resort. I love to visit that place someday.
OO nga Ana, actually parang mas gusto namin na ganyan lang sya haha para hindi maging polluted. 🙂 Sana nga mkapunta kayo. Balitaan ko kayo at picture to the max ang gagawin namin kapag naka uwi kami sa summer. 🙂
Maganda pala talaga sa Romblon. Hopefully, makapasyal din kami ng family ko dyan. Pangarap ko kasi ikutin ang buong Pilipinas. 🙂
Ako rin gusto ko umikot ng buong Pilipinas, alam ko dami ka ng napuntahan eh, sana makapunta ka rin jan. 🙂
Ang ganda pala sa Romblon. Marami pa bang marbles doon? At ang beach ang linis tingnan kapag green ang kulay. Ang sarap kayang maglakad sa tabing-dagat lalo na kapag palubog na ang araw.
Di ko alam kung marami pang marbles dun, di pa kasi ako nakakarating dun sa mainland.
