Tuesday, February 16, 2010 , Posted by jam at 4:41 PM

The Pear-shaped volcanic Island, located southern part of the country  part of Mindanao is a must see paradise, the island of Camiguin. Camiguin is said to be "The Island Born of Fire" host for seven volcanoes. Eruptions of volcanoes become the reasons of some land movement and other changes for the island. 

Truly an amazing formations of nature, for having volcanoes, water falls, white sand beaches, hot and cold springs and best diving sites. Blessed by cultural traditions and unique lifestyle, people here remain so hospitable and friendly to all visitors, they are happy to present their island and their history.

What makes the Camiguin more fascinating is their Sunken Cemetery. These happens a long time ago when the Mount Vulcan had erupted, that bring about human fatalities and damages. The worst eruption made the whole capital of Camiguin, and it's cemetery to sunk under water. The eruption sink the area to around twenty feet deeper, people built a large cross made by solidified lava, it represent as a mark to the site of their ancestor's grave.

Upon seeing the paradise of Camiguin, I become more enthusiastic about the nature. Hope to visit Camiguin and all the great places from the Philippines before I say goodbye to my singlehood.
