Alaminos City is where I was born. This is my home city.
I've been based in Manila for a while. But countless of times, I have either tour-guided someone to Alaminos or just repeatedly going back home for a visit.
My city has recently transformed for the better. More tourist-friendly elements popped up in our city. There’s the 24-hour tourist help desk. Plenty of good eateries to choose from. Coffee shops, and convenient stores.

100 ISLANDS
This is the very first national park in the Philippines, declared by President Quezon in 1940. So historically, it's somewhat significant.
Although it's called 100 Islands, it would be highly coincidental if there were exactly 100 of them. It is actually 124 islands during low tide and 123 on high tide.
