RSSGarchitorena, Camarines Sur
04 Nov 2010 5 Comments
I remembered Garchitorena mainly because I saw that tarpaulin of Baticorao Island in the baranggay of Bikal in the town of Caramoan. Garchitorena and Caramoan are towns right next to each other.
Though the two towns are close to each other, Garchitorena, unlike Caramoan, do not have a lot of white sand beaches to boast of. I have fortunately been to one – Baticorao Island, because my mom was assigned to the town for a few years.
It was summer of 2008 and I was at my parents home for some reason. My mother asked me if I wanted to go with her to her town assignment. She persuaded my father as well as my aunt to go too. That is how we found ourselves in the port of Tamban in the town of Tinambac so early in the morning.
The port of Tamban is a busy one but the passengers are mostly locals and goods being transported consist of dry goods and a lot of soft drink bottles. It is perhaps uncommon to see a tourist here.
