Quezon Island

The biggest and the most developed island in the Hundred Islands is Quezon Island. It is named after the late President Manuel L. Quezon of which a commemorative statue for his honor sits on top of the island. It is not only the biggest island but the most crowded as well. So after eating in one of their picnic tables and wandering around the island for about an hour, we decided to find our own isolated island to spend the day with. But before going to the next island, here are some shots taken at the Quezon Island:

A footbridge connecting Quezon Island with a smaller island.

The place offers several cemented cottages mostly for overnight tourists.

  1. ayos ah! tlagang may footbridge?
    bakit kaya hindi nila lagyan laht ng footbridge from one island to another island para may option ang mga turista na maglakad o kaya ay sumakay ng bangka..hehe=)

  15. i remember this island. the most crowded yet one of the best among all the other islands.

    i like it there because of the really good sand quality.

    i only didn't like much to snorkel there because of the sea grass.

  24. @ the dong - i think matagal pa bago makarecover ang pangasinan sa ginawa nilang dynamite at cyanide fishing. sirang-sira talaga mga corals nila eh. anyway, at least the local government is doing something about it by prohibiting that kind of fishing now.

  31. for the life of me hindi ko maalala kung anong island kami pumunta before. is there a rizal island na puro tourists din? kung wala then baka nga quezon island yung napuntahan namin. wala lang akong nakitang footbridge that time.
