Because of travel restrictions, we were unable to<br />

cover all of Misamis Occidental, so we will be<br />

coming back to see the rest of this beautiful<br />

part of the Philippines in another edition next<br />

year. But what we did encounter was a tropical paradise,<br />

approximately a seventy-five-minute drive from Ozamis.<br />

By the name of Plaridel a third-class community. On<br />

arriving at the airport our hosts firstly treated us to a<br />

delicious luncheon of Korean BBQ proudly sponsored by<br />

Supeemix Unlisugba owned by Abigail Lim Yapilto.<br />

Plaridel is blessed with natural islands of outstanding<br />

beauty, greeneries, and fine white beaches. This island is<br />

nature’s gift for Plaridel, aside from the mangroves and<br />

structure of the rocks that you can see upon arriving on<br />

the Island. You will enjoy the white fine sandy beaches<br />

and the fresh air that this province offers.<br />

This amazing place is full of adventure and excitement,<br />

while at the same time maintaining peace and serene<br />

tranquility, for a completely relaxing and enjoyable<br />

holiday. There is so much to see here that unfortunately<br />

because of the pandemic travel restrictions in place at<br />

the time (which thankfully has been relaxed quite a bit<br />

now) we were only able to see a small portion of what<br />

this hidden paradise has to offer, but what we did see<br />

was more than enough to whet our appetites to write<br />

about what we had seen. From Island hopping, jet skiing,<br />

diving, trekking, snorkeling, kayaking, and many places<br />

of fun and adventure to visit, Plaridel is one place well<br />

worth visiting.<br />

Our introduction to this awesome place was our<br />

accommodation at the Bijoux Hotel, this newly<br />

appointed establishment is geared for a relaxing holiday<br />

This amazing place is full of<br />

adventure and excitement,<br />

while at the same time<br />

maintaining peace and serene<br />

tranquility, for a completely<br />

relaxing and enjoyable holiday.<br />
