Burias Island: Tinalisayan Islet and Sandbar


Tinalisayan is a perfect place for a short stopover to the other islands in Burias. What I love about this  place is its proximity to San Pascual, about 20 minute boat ride from the town. I’ve spent countless lazy afternoons in this islet.

Before I ended my stint as a DTTB, I felt hopeless, stripped of any idealisms.  I realized how powerless I was to change the health system and to contribute to an improvement in the people’s health status. I thought I failed to make a difference.. or so I thought. Before I left, my co-workers planned a surprise party which was held in this islet. I was again reminded of my reasons for becoming a doctor in the first place. I may not have done great things, but as what Mother Theresa had said, “we can do no great things, only small things with great love”.

Cheers to the best 2 years of my life!

Best way to end my DTTB stint :)
