Pawikan Conservation Center
A community-run hatchery in Nagbalayong. From November to February, guests join the evening release of olive ridley hatchlings.

A quiet beachfront retreat in Morong, Bataan — sunset views over the West Philippine Sea, unhurried rooms, and the kind of stay you plan the rest of the year around.
We are three hours from Manila and a world away from it. Twenty-four rooms, one restaurant, a pool that faces the water, and a shoreline that empties out by mid-afternoon.
The resort has been in the same family since 1998. What has kept guests coming back is not a long list of facilities — it is the short walk from the room to the sand, and the fact that the sunset arrives at the same table every evening.
