Things I wanna Do in Biliran


Enduro Biliran is happening in two weeks. I found this really awesome post by a really awesome guy named Jose Pidal. I'm just re-posting it here because it's a really good and comprehensive guide from a local and I don't want it to be lost in all the clutters of selfies and food porn on Facebook. This is strictly copy-and-paste material, I take no credit for the hard work and dedication Jose gave to help us discover the beautiful Island of Biliran.

I also learned from online research that Agta Beach in Almeria, Biliran is offering dives. They have this video that features untouched corals and also a requiem shark. Of course, we all need roofs over our head (and walls on our sides, and beds, and bed sheets, and linens). John Edmar posted these budget rooms in Naval, Biliran. Again, I take no credit for his hard work because I only reposted this from the Enduro Biliran Facebook page.
