DOT’s Philippine Experience Caravan Explored some of Central Luzon’s Cultural, Nature, Gastronomy, Arts and Historical Attractions

Marky Ramone Go March 20, 2025

When I first started traveling around Southeast Asia, I encountered travelers who had explored tri-cities or even provinces. This was because countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and even Laos have established tourism circuits that not only attract travelers to stay in one place but also encourage them to explore nearby regions.

A Memorable Surf and Glamp Experience in Zambales

Marky Ramone Go November 08, 2022

Every time a road trip plan is pitched, I always suggest heading to Zambales. What’s there not to like? Although it takes up to three to five hours to get there, the drive is done over smooth roads laden with bucolic scenery. Once you reach the first town of the province, you begin to smell the scent of the ocean. Driving through a series of quaint towns, you get to choose from a smorgasbord of charming seaside escapes.

The Ramon Magsaysay Museum & Ancestral House | Zambales

Marky Ramone Go August 18, 2022

There had been a few points in our history where it might be said that the Philippines couldn’t seem to catch a break. One such event occurred on March 17, 1957, when a plane carrying President Ramon Magsaysay crashed on Mount Manunggal in Cebu, ending a promising term in which Magsaysay became popular because of his accessibility to the common people. Magsaysay, who was known as "My Guy" because he was everyone's buddy, was widely regarded as the best head of state the Philippines had ever seen. However, as luck would have it, he passed away in office and in life far too soon, leaving behind a legacy of greatness we could only hope could be replicated by current and future leaders.

Magalawa Island | Zambales: A Beautiful Sunburnt Morning

Marky Ramone Go July 17, 2022

“So near, yet so far,” I thought to myself as I stared at the island known as Potipot from where I was standing at Isla Vista Beach Resort. “It is still closed to visitors,” the manager told me. Ever since the world re-emerged from the clamps of the pandemic, resort owners in Candelaria, Zambales, had been clamoring for the reopening of Potipot.

Tribes and Treks Zambales | Seeding Hope in Nature and the Community

Marky Ramone Go January 30, 2019

“I could use a tree right now,” I muttered to myself as I felt the sun’s rays piercing my skin in the middle of the beautiful but barren landscape of San Felipe, Zambales. While patches of greens were starting to regrow—in between flowing streams—still, much of the lowlands and the rolling hills appeared denuded. What was once fertile ground as far as the eye could see was changed forever by Mount Pinatubo’s eruption.

Capones Island Lighthouse | Zambales

Unknown April 13, 2011

I've been to Capones island four times already and my first published travel article was a narrative about my earlier trip here. On this trip, we hiked to the lighthouse taking the longer route since our temperamental boatman does not like the idea of docking near the lighthouse. It didn't matter though, as it was still a fairly easy hike of around 45 minutes coming from the back of Capones facing the Pundaquit shoreline.

Unknown April 06, 2011

Nagsasa cove is about 20 minutes away from Anawangin cove, it is less crowded and popular but provides a more ideal place for those looking for a place to camp for the weekend that is neither chaotic nor depressing.

Punta De Uian, Zambales

Unknown March 26, 2008

Punta De Uian is a beautiful beach resort located in Pundaquit, Zambales. Everything about it expresses tranquility, peace and a majestic setting fit for one’s pursuit of total relaxation and leisure. Nestled in the fine white beaches of Zambales it offers a wonderful view of the ocean and the nearby Capones Island.

Enjoying the beautiful sunset while lying on the beach is an experience one will never forget.
The beachfront is popular for being a turtle habitat, every week there are turtle egg hatching being done in the resort and afterwards the turtles will return to sea only to return for an unspecified time.

Activities are a plenty as well, the resort offers the use of Jet Ski, banana boat and kayaking even up to the nearby Capones Island. Visitors can also rent a boat in Punta De Uian to go to nearby Anawangin another beautiful beachhead part of Zambales but is only accessible by boat.

It is said all the time that first impressions are very important. Punta De Uian impressed me from the get go as we parked our car and noticed the fresh wind breeze coming from the ocean. It continued to impress me as the helpful and friendly staff entertained us and offered to help us unload our things plus the presence of Punta De Uian’s manager who answers at the name of Guy Morales continues to make sure that everything we needed are being taken care of.

Punta De Uian offers many choices of room accomodations
Garden view
Moutain view
Single de luxe
Double de luxe
Suite
Family Villa
Me and my friends stayed at the Double De Luxe room which is good for 6 people, it was spacious and clean and neatly designed that provides for a cozy stay. Makes you want to stay there forever. The foods are delicious and prepared well by the in house chefs of Punta De Uian. Menu selection was vast that includes both local and foreign cuisines. Other features includes hot and cold shower, cable TV, wi-fi internet connection, karaoke and many more.

Special thanks to the friendly staff of Punta De Uian headed by Guy Morales, our stay there became a memorable and truly enjoyable experience. for reservations email elsa.puntadeuian@gmail.com or visit www.puntadeuian.com. pundaquit, san antonio zambales
