Balsa / Floating Cottages

Leave a comment

[Source]

A balsa or floating cottage can accommodate up to 30 persons. Most balsa is equipped with tables and benches, a cooking/grilling area, a changing area, and a mini pool. Obviously, there is no restroom on board, so … 

All guests will be given life vests, and if you’re wondering about the food & drinks corkages, there is none.

All guests will be responsible for keeping their trash. Transparent trash bags will be given upon entry at the port, with some asking for a garbage deposit around PHP150. To claim back the deposit, guests have to bring the trash bag back to the port for proper disposal.

Rent fees range from PHP2,000 to PHP3,500, depending on the size and the owner of the balsa, as well as the available time slot.

Rent a stand-up paddleboard for PHP200 per hour, or kayak for PHP250 per hour.

Book ahead. Walk-ins are highly discouraged. [Source]

Note that operators usually require reservation fee (range from P1,000-P1,500), environmental fee (P15) and entrance fee (P10). The balsa rates range from P2,200 to P4,500 depending on size and this includes boat ride to the cottage and back to the shore. Rates are usually higher on weekends.

DOCKING AREA – see below boat docking / loading area for balsa operators

Milagro De Agua Resort

2 Comments

Milagro De Agua Resort, also named Taparak Pools or Bagras Cold Spring because of the wide diversity of Bagras tree that grows within the area.

11401106_1667599533471802_7195635216401225838_n(Source)

The spring comes from a big faucet, like other commercial pools, and it is not chlorinated. Its water comes fresh from the mountains! Its the suba (river) water gurgling in the pool. (Source)

Bobong Akut, the spring caretaker, beamed when he told us that the cold spring is open 24/7. “There is no time limit.
The usage of the pool depends on the customers. If they want,  they can stay here overnight,” Akut said.

The entrance fees of the cold spring are Php15.00 for children below 15 and Php 25.00 for adults. If you want to swim from morning to night (12:59PM), you pay Php35.00. If you want a swim morning until next morning (overnight), you just have  Php50.00 as payment. If you want the pool exclusively for you and your family and friends’ pleasure, it’s a deal at Php 2,500 to 3,000. Whole day.

When you are bored, need fresher air, and some signal for your mobile phone, you can go up the hill. There you will find a small cottage packed with a majestic view of the Alubijid mountains, 360 degrees. Plus, phone signal.

From the highway, this place is a 40-minute ride via habal-habal (motorcycle).

ENTRANCE FEE;
40- Adult
20- Children
10- for Environmental fee

Solar Salt Production

Leave a comment
 
After 40 years, Baltazar Pepito still works at the salt flats in Alubijid, Misamis Oriental. He is seen here  carrying brine to the flats, where he will collect the salt after the water has evaporated. (Source)

Solar Evaporation

Solar evaporation is probably one of the earliest methods used to produce salt. According to that process, sea water or natural brine evaporates up to the saturation point in open basins, thanks to the action of the sun and wind. Crystallization occurs in dedicated open basins as well, where the saturated brine is finally poured. Once the salt crust is formed, the exceeding water is eliminated before harvest. The raw salt may be further processed, including washing, drying, sifting and grading, if necessary and depending upon the requirements.

“A woman farmer scrapes her ready-to-harvest sea salt on a framed platform at Alubijid, Misamis Oriental on Sunday. The predicted dry season, intensified by the El Niño phenomenon this 2016, is expected to boost sea-salt harvest this coming summer.” (Source)
