Idyllic and secluded, Silago is my hometown. The pacific ocean will invite you with strong big waves during high tide and calm serene lake-line ocean during low tide. It was a 2 day trip from Manila by bus in the olden days but thanks to the convenience of Silago-Abuyog road, a 3 hour drive by car along scenic rain forest made it accessible.
