Hundred Islands – Part III: Bahay ni Kuya

In: Run

16 Nov 2007

Hundred_Islands_19After our misfortune in Quezon Island, the boat man offered to take us to the Governor’s Island the following day to save his face. Of the 3 islands only Governor’s Island has a guest house which is commissioned by ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Teen edition. The guest house has 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, comfort room/bath and kitchen. Cooking utensils and electric appliances are also offered which are powered by a generator set. One overnight stay on the “Bahay ni Kuya” would cost 10,000pesos; kind of on the expensive side but a small price to pay if you want to be a housemate for a day :) .



As I plan to take a close picture of the house unfortunately, it was occupied by other guests. There’s a “No Entry” sign on the way up, but the care taker told me to ask permission to take pictures. So then, I decided to climb up a tree along the cliff to take the picture above, but one dude shouted at me telling me to go down. Who by the way, is playing golf in the sand and at one time intentionally drive one towards me while I was taking pictures along the beach (such an @$$).


There are also air-conditioned tents that are lined up along the beach, as well as Nipa Huts and Picnic tables for guests that want to spend their day in the island. We rented a Nipa Hut where we cooked and ate our breakfast.


Still wanting to take a picture of the house, I risked my gear by going in the water, fortunately the water is below waist level on the path going to another island which is only 100 meters away. Where I finally managed to get a decent shot, I hope my lens got a longer focal length though.


After taking a lot of pictures we had to go back to our resort as were supposed to check-out by noon and head back home. And get back to our busy and often stressful lives.

If you have any question or you’ve been to this place, please feel free to leave a comment.

Hi, you have given some good information about 100 islands. The governors island guest house sounds expensive (10,000 pesos?!).

Can you tell me more about where you stayed? I am looking to stay at a sea facing small cottage (there is only 2 of us) in the range of 1 to 3,000 pesos per night. Either one of the islands or at Alaminos. It would be good if it is close to a place to eat food.

Thanks a lot. Salamat po.
