A perfect getaway paradise!

Buntod Reef Marine Sanctuary & Sandbar is a 250-hectare sanctuary located in the seawaters of Nursery and Tugbo, Masbate City, Masbate, Philippines.

This site was established as a protected area 19 years from now because before that, it  suffered from illegal fishing activities. It is under the care of the Samahang Mangingisda ng Puro-Sinalikway (SAMAPUSI).

It is open 24 hours and you can stay overnight. However, there is no electricity and you will provide your own resources.

It is best to visit at lowtide since the sandbar is evident.

Aside from the beautiful sandbar, corals, and marine life, the mangroves are also a good spot to visit and perfect for pictorials!

Since it is an islet, there is no fresh water and food available to be bought. It is best to bring all your own food and utensils. The table rent costs 50 pesos.

There a lot of things to do in Buntod. Aside from snorkeling (100 pesos per hour) and scuba diving(1,500 pesos) which you can enjoy the beautiful and abundant corals and marine life, you can also do kayaking(200 pesos per hour). However, destroying and disturbing the corals and marine lives in their natural habitats is strictly prohibited.

In order to access, you must be first in Masbate City. From anywhere in Masbate City, if you are a commuter, ride a tricycle to the Rendezvous Beach Reefs which is near the Nursery. You will need a boat to reach the sanctuary. It is a 15-20 minutes boat ride. The boat rent costs 500 pesos for 1 to 4 persons and 800 pesos for 5 to 15 persons. So ask all the friends and family you can invite!

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
