I Hate LANDO!

Huhu! We're suppose to go to El Nido but the road to the place is not passable because of typhoon Lando...pati ung trip namin sa Underground River on Saturday namimiligro kase nonstop pa din ang ulan dito. Masyado daw maputik ang daan at di kakayanin ng sasakyan. Hay...ngayon lang kami nagkaroon ng free time, binagyo pa kami. Good that we were able to go to Honda Bay on our first day here bago dumating si Lando kinabukasan.


HETO NA ANG MGA HASSLES NI LANDO...

Noong kasagsagan ni LANDO. 112007
These men in raincoats made the road passable by shoveling the mud that blocked our way after a mild landslide...just a few minutes after we passed, a major landslide occurred in the area. Buti nalang nakalampas na kami, kung hindi nastranded pa kami.

On our way from Roxas to Puerto Princesa... Nagtumbahan ang mga puno...


Putik, putik, putik
At nasira ang wiper ng sasakyan... Left: Manong Mar fixing the car's wiper matapos masira ni Lando. Left: See the string from the wiper to Mang Mar's hand? That's what we call, 'wiper de-hila.' Yan ang Pinoy, innovative and very resourceful. Hehe


It's a long, long journey... Grabe ginabi na kami sa daan. The supposed to be two hour-drive from Roxas to Puerto Princessa became a five hour-drive...Plus all the hassles of flood, strong wind and lubak-lubak na daan.

Pagdating namin sa Puerto, wala pang kuryente at tubig! Ano ba yan Lando?!


Mga Bakas na Iniwan ni Lando...112207 Left: You see, hindi ganon ka-develop ang mga kalsada sa Palawan. In fact, parang sa Puerto lang ata ang may maayos na kalsada. Pero sa ibang bayan, grabe ang lubak. Bihira na nga lang ang may semento, putul-putol pa. Kaya pag umulan, wala na...Hay, sayang kase ang daming tourist spots sa island na di mapuntahan ng mga turista kapag umuulan because of the unfinished roads. Left: Rice field na binaha ni Lando. I feel sorry for the farmers =(

Tomorrow, there will be another typhoon...si super typhoon Mina...please spare Palawan, pleaaaaaaaaaaaase!
