There was no avoiding it – we just had to get back to the enchanting island before summer’s gone!
And so the family (minus the “new” mother – sorry Nani, next time when baby Kenji gets bigger) with Capt. Kitchie, the family pet, hied off last Friday the 13th to Kalanggaman Island (also spelled Calanggaman as viewed in Google), one hour boat ride away from the coastal town of Palompon, Leyte.
Sheer paradise!
Special thanks to the able island crew of LGU Palompon and to Dir. Karen Tiopes and staff of DOT 8.
Kalanggaman Island, Palompon, Leyte, May 13 & 14, 2011.

Good day!!! I was also in Kalanggaman last weekend. I thought I was mistaken that you were there but you proved me wrong… I was hesitant to approach you, sir. I am a fan of your blog and also your destinations…
I’ve been to this island thrice since March after your first blog about the island. I am mesmerized by the island, its clear waters and the overall serenity.
Hi, Aileen! Thanks for writing and for following my photoblog. Makes me feel mighty good somehow I’m able to make others appreciate and enjoy the small wonders we have around us. Sayang, I could have taken your photo and posted it here!
next time sir!
ill stay posted on your travels.
Gerry,
the images are as intoxicating as the landscape! Love the way you did the night shots, particularly the one of the boat on the beach! Beautiful work as always!!
Thank you for sharing with us,

Much appreciated, Frank! Thank you for the kind words!
HEAVEN…Thank you for sharing. Love your pictures. It gives us the idea on just how beautiful this planet is. I hope we take care of it… It’s a good life.
Wow, I have to go there when I come back to the Philippines.
Would like to meet you po, tito Gerry when that time comes. From Tacloban po ako but I never heard of this island before. Thanks!
Sure. Just drop by at calle Z cafe and ask the staff to contact me.
Love the nightshots! Was also on the island on the 14th…. we might have crossed paths!
In all likelihood, yes
i was amazed of kalanggaman island. it’s so nice even to see it only in pictures. what more if i get there; i would love it for sure.
Breathtaking pics! I should visit this very beautiful island this summer! Congrats for your nice shots! Continue promoting the beautiful islands of Leyte & Samar. As a native of Hindang, Leyte, I should visit all those nice spots before it will be too late
