            Welcome to Pearl Farm Beach Resort. It is located in Island Garden City of Samal or IGACOS. Samal Island is the big island in front of Davao City. Pearl Farm is a famous tourist destinations here in Davao. I was only able to go to this place because this is where the team building of the company has been held.      Above is the Parola Bar. It is the reception area of the beach where the boat would also dock. We were greeted here with the accommodating staff of Pearl Farm. They had given us fresh juice to drink while an orientation had been given about the resort.      Maranao Restaurant of Pearl Farm served delicious meals. In our day tour package, it is already inclusive of eat-all-you can lunch that we were really full when we get out from this establishment.        Below is only one of the many maps that you will find along the way while strolling Pearl Fa...

     Our last stopover in our field trip with the kindergarten students was at Kathleen's place in Cannibad, Samal. Cannibad which is famous for being a secret paradise in Samal has this modern resort known as "Kathleen's Place". It was owned by a retired German soldier who was married to a Filipina from our hometown. He had been very accommodating to us and gave us discounts. The standard entrance fee in Kathleen's Place is P50 per person, tent rental with beddings is P350 and this cottage is P2,000 per night.                       I like Cannibad for having a very solemn beach. It is not crowded and the beach is very clean and well preserve. Even at night, the place is so peaceful wherein there are no noisy parties, karaoke noise and noise of alcohol drinkers. It is just like being in a remote island.                The only common feedback of...

      Cannibad is so far the cleanest and the most solemn beach I had ever been. True to its tag line "Cannibad: the Secret Paradise", it is really a paradise for me. Cannibad is one of the beautiful beaches of Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) specifically located at Brgy. Penaplata. From Davao City, you must sail on a barge if you have a private car or on a ferry boat at Sasa Wharf. Barge fee may range from P60 pesos, for motorcycle, to 500 pesos depending on the type of vehicle that will be shipped. Ferry Boat is also a good means of transportation to reach Samal as well as taking a bus ride from Sta. Ana, Davao City, near Magsaysay Park to be able to reach Penaplata. From Penaplata proper it would be around four kilometers land trip to Cannibad. Though the road is stiff, it would be nothing compared to the paradise view of Cannibad that awaits you.  Sunrise at Cannibad Boating at Sunrise Early morning Swimming   View at Noontime Havin...
