Catanduanes Forum

paradise, adventure, home sweet home,

you are on the money there, gerry.

CTAN is raw, the tag line for CTAN is EXTREME ADVENTURE. lets give them an ADVENTURE not just an EXPERIENCE.

Siguro, ang come-on sa Catanduanes is its rawness itself. Our sales pitch could be as a eco-tourism getaway. But before that, kaipuhan magkaigwa ning inventory ning mga natural resources ta. Not the usual stuff - ano ang mga rare species (flora and fauna) na uya na lang sato makukua? I have an officemate, a science research specialist, who found an indigenous tree sa lugar ninda sa Viga-Payo-Bagamanoc. She presented her study in a national fora and she found out na dai talaga kan kahoy na ini sa ibang lugar. Its called 'pange'. She developed a study that shows the economic potential kan kahoy, specifically its fruits. Nearing to commercialization ang progress kan study nya. We still have the giant tree ferns papunta sa Summit. We can tap the academe for researches which will become the benchmark for data banking our flora and fauna resources na indigenous sa Isla. Then, iyan ang ipa dadyaw ta as an eco-tourism getaway. Idagdag na ang mga known tourist spots, mga industry like pinukpok, lasa.

Kadakul ning igwang beaches na magayon sa Pilipinas. Lets think of what we have that we can call our own. It would help i think na eco-tourism ang blurb ning Catanduanes.

Kung naheling nyo su docu ni Howie Severino sa I-Witness titled "Ang Hiwaga ng Alon", ang picture na mabubuo duman katatakot mag istar Sa Catanduanes. Unti-unti daw nilalamon ng alon ang isla ng Catanduanes. We cannot blame Howie. Based sa researches man ang docu. Pero talaga. that would be another issue to tackle.
