Notes from the Author. I went to the Avilon Zoo in Montalban, Rizal a few years back. The Avilon Zoo was started by Mr. Jake Gaw who was an animal hobbyist. Currently, the Avilon Zoo is now the largest zoological park in the Philippines.

Notes from the Author. Verde Island is located in the province of Batangas. It is recognized as a popular diving spot. In fact, the Verde Island Passage is named as the “Centre of Centre of Marine Biodiversity.”
To get there, you need to take a 45-minute boat trip to the resort itself from another beach.
I’ve taken a few pictures of the resort, but I think this place is visited mostly for the marine life down below.

Notes from the author. A beach in Batangas which I feel is worth visiting. What can you do here? Aside from lazing out in the sun and swimming, they have playing fields for beach volleyball and basketball. They have large grounds for team building activities and you can also engage in several watersports activities such as snorkeling and kayaking.

Stay in one of their tree houses.

And what’s a beach without a beautiful sunset.
