Coron you are truly a picture perfect paradise! I don’t mind losing the effect of months of painstaking abuse of Likas Papaya Soap and whitening lotions with you in my arms! Haha. You are indeed a paradise blessed with rich marine life, stunning limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, emerald lagoons, and all the other superlatives that can be used to describe just how breathtakingly beautiful you are.

  1. Life is like a battle, if you don't know how to defense yourself then you'll end up being a loser. So better take any challenges as your stepping stone to become a better person. Have fun, explore and make a lot of memories.
