Before this trip, we never knew what or where Sicogon Island was or how it looked like. We were in Iloilo at the time we were contacted to visit, and our friend who had previously been told us that it will be the most beautiful place we’ll ever see. Months of constant cancelations, we finally had a set date and the moment finally arrived. I had no expectations, except for the photos on Google, which didnt really tell us much.

We can honestly tell you now, that Sicogon Island and its surrounding islets are the most beautiful and magical places we have ever been to. Never in our whole career were we able to take as many photos as we did in this trip. Never have we seen light so perfect, water so clear and beaches so beautiful our eyes couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality. Some parts of the trip we would ask ourselves if we were still in the Philippines and then we would remember how beautiful and surprising my country can be.
