Kalibo Tour Adventure to Boracay

I've heard about Boracay that it is one of the famous beach in the Philippines. It is located in the north province of Aklan and this was discovered by tourist since 1970. Until today it is the highlight for many tourist in the country as well as internationally.

This time my wife booked a plane ticket going to Kalibo because it is one way you can get a cheaper flight going to Boracay. The airport in Kalibo is 1 hour or 1 1/2 hr travel going to Caticlan through V-Hire or Bus. The cost for a V-hire or Bus is around Php100.00 to Php200.00. 

After arriving in Kalibo from our flight we leave our baggage in our Hotel and visit some tourist destination. We took tricycle and visited one of the oldest museum in the main proper of Kalibo. 

Learning Kalibo History

I've learn some few history where Kalibo came from. It is from the Spanish who baptized 1000 people to Christianity. That is where the Libo which mean a thousand word came from. The Ka mean because the people in this island was called Aklanon they just make a work "Kalibo" which was use by many and this is where the place called "Kalibo".

We took a night in Kalibo and spend our night at Cess Hotel. It was a nice hotel and free breakfast. 

Before we leave Kalibo one of my councilor during our service in our Apas Ward is from Kalibo. I've tried to chat him and he told us to visit their parents. We took the advice and visited the mother of Rodel Dolorfino. We took a tricycle and find the place. At first the mother of Rodel didn't recognized us but when we inform her that I'm with Rodel in Cebu, then she immediately remember us. 

She invited us for lunch and we had much conversation. She told a lot of her life and I'm happy to know more about her. I've learned that she is optimist to raise his family through cooking. In that skill that God has blessed her she was able to earn money to buy a lot and build a house for her family since his husband only get few income for his work. She was able also to put her daughter and son to a good school until they had finish their courses.  

After our conversation we need to leave them and go to the terminal of the V-hire. We arrive in Caticlan around 2pm and took some Ferry to get to Boracay Island.  There are two ways to go to Boracay which we took the Air-conditioned ferry that cost us around Php100.00 for the terminal, Php75.00 for the Air-conditioned ferry and Php100 for the environmental fee. 

After arriving in Boracay there are available Etricycle that you can ride that cost you around Php10.00 or Php20.00 pesos depending on the distance where you will go.
