Reunion at Laiya, Batangas

Tonette was home for a one-month vacation so we thought of having our block reunion at Laiya Batangas. Laiya is about 140+km from Manila. It is located on the southeastern tip of the province of Batangas. It is known for its white beaches, good snorkeling and fishing.

We stayed at Sigayan Bay Beach Resort as suggested by Lissy. We haven't been there so we had no idea what to expect. Sigayan for me is quite nice since it is a family resort equipped with kitchen equipment and faciities in every cottage like gas stove, sink, refrigerator, water dispenser among others. The cottage that we reserved was quite small so we upgraded to a bigger one and since we did not bring anything to cook, we opted to dine out. The resto in Sigayan would take you around 30 minutes or so before you can eat so make sure you order beforehand. The staff were nice as they also arrange boat ride to explore Laiya cove.

We went snorkling, visited a cove, and tried food in other resorts like Kabayan and Punta Miguel. Compared to other places like Anawagin, Guimaras, Pagudpud, etc., Laiya offers simple shoreline but is a good alternative to Puerto Galera and other Batangas beaches due to its proximity.

After staying overnight in Laiya, the group decided to have merienda in Tagaytay before calling it a night, bringing good memories from our college years up to now. Looking forward to our next year's reunion.
