Summary:
This is great place to visit if you want to get away from all the hassle and bustle of Manila for a day. It took as about 3 hours to get there from CBD Manila and we visited the Zoo and All Hands Beach. There is an expensive entry fee into All Hands Beach, but its worth the cost as you get a private beach feel, good cheap food and clean amenities to shower at the end of the day.
