Experience the best of the Philippine Islands as you visit Siargao. Found on the eastern shoreline of the Philippines, facing the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Deep, Siargao offers virtually the best of what this country has to offer -- coral reef islets, white sand beaches, emerald lagoons, mangrove rivers, palm trees, rice fields, rainforests, cliffs, and caves.
From Cebu City, it can be reached by a 45-minute flight via Philippine Airlines five days weekly; by a 12-hour overnight boat trip which departs every evening on weekdays. From the mainland there are motor launches playing the major island barangays daily or SeAir Now Flies 3 times a week to SIARGAO from Cebu.
SURFING - Just up the road at Tuason Point, is world class Cloud 9, the best surf break (a barreling right hander) in the Philippines. A short boat ride out in the lagoon beyond, takes you out to Rock island, Stimpy's and a few more breaks, stretching right up the east coast to Pilar, Pacifico and Burgos. Just a short walk from the town is the Cemetery's, and Jacking Horse, and depending on the season there's even a mellow break in front of Dako island, right in front of GL itself. When you can see the waved breaking on Dako island from GL, you'll know it's pumping at Cloud 9.

MANILA RANKING HIGH IN POPULAR CHOICE TO BECOME
New7Wonders OFFICIAL HOST 2011
Still missing official support!
Zurich/Switzerland, Apr. 27, 2009—Visitors to the
new7wonders.com website have been suggesting leading cities around the
world to become the Official Host for the Declaration of the
New7Wonders of Nature event in 2011. Manila is frequently chosen in
this poll, yet without official support now it cannot be considered by
the organisers.
The opportunity to be in the global spotlight "
Cities
and countries around the world are being invited to submit their bids
to become the exclusive Official Host of the biggest event in 2011"
says Jean-Paul de la Fuente, Director of New7Wonders, "Manila certainly
seems to be a popular choice, but unless we hear from the official
authorities within the next few days, it may well miss out on the
chance to bid."
The Official Host 2011 receives unique global
image and branding around the world over three years, and is the
location for the Official Declaration of the New7Wonders of Nature
event in 2011—when the result of 1 billion votes is revealed to the
world during a spectacular gala.
For more information on the Official Host 2011, please visit www.n7w.com/2011.
Official authorities can contact the New7Wonders 2011 bidding coordination office directly via email at 2011@n7w.com.
