Wanted: Real Boat Ladders in Boracay

So, God gave us an uber beautiful weather during our MidYear Conference in Boracay. The whole duration of our conference (July 12-14) was really sunny and we all had fun in the sun! Though it rained really hard last July 11 (was part of the advanced party – organizing committee) and some of the streets in Bora was flooded with waters … the best weather came in on the morning of July 12. Thank you Lord for the great weather! You are really an Awesome God!

Participants arrived July 12 as early as 7am and I was already assisting the front office team for the room reservations. We welcomed them with drum beaters as soon as they arrive the hotel … and mind you the hotel guests there also enjoyed the fun. They had their pictures taken with the drum beaters (so the drumbeaters felt like celebrities)!

So, conference proper on the July 13, then teambuilding session for the whole team on July 14 (half-day), then island hopping on the afternoon, yippee! But mind you they needed a good boat ladder huh! The boat was big enough to carry as many as 25 persons, but wow you should’ve seen the ladder they made for passengers to step on … but nevertheless we still enjoyed the tour. But before we left the boat, I told the “bankeros” that boarding ladders are important for the passengers for them to be able to get on and off the boat safely. They could use various materials like stainless steel, aluminum or carbon fiber if they have the budget. Pets shouldn't be left behind, they need dog boat ramps too! Anyways, they surely acknowledged my suggestion.


Though did not join them in their snorkeling galore, but I joined them and entered the Cave Island. There were two caves, the one was u just have to go down the stairs and see the view. The other cave was you go down the stairs and then you have to go inside an opening to go to the other side of the cave. Hmmm, challenging but exciting and fun!
