The Maragondon and Ternate Shores
Here are some images that I couldn’t resist to capture. One holiday afternoon, I followed a whim of going out somewhere rural and rid myself of the intoxicating and monotonous urban life. Luckily a friend agreed to drive me around southern Cavite–no itinerary, no plans–just following where the wind, well not literally, blows us.
We drove on a continuous roll of highways passing through Naic, Maragondon, Magallanes, Alfonso, Indang, and Ternate. We’ve seen the progression from mountain ridges and valleys to small populated towns. People here walk on foot to bring merchant items (like bamboo poles) and do everyday errands. To them, life was simple and peaceful, characteristics that city dwellers are bereft of. I loved the abundance of canopy and lush vegetation. Enough of the descriptions. Here are the photos.
The sea off Maragondon
The scene atop Patungan Cove
Enveloped in blue
Static boats
Land and sea
Sheeny sea
Eroding the rocks
The people
Running ashore
Dark figures against a lustrous sea
Afloat leisurely
The way children ought to be
The boatman
A man plying the Maragondon River after a day’s work
The water is wide / I can not get o’er
Random people
Boys by the riverside
Showing off
Flipping over
He crossed the bridge when he got there
At the end of the day
Detail of a communication tower
Still burning as she bade farewell
hi private owned po ba ang patungan cove? may developed resort na po ba dun?
I’ve been hearing stories that a big company purchased the cove. But luckily there is no developed resort yet. we should enjoy nature in its pristine and raw condition.
any contact po na meron kayo sa loob? for school purposes lng po pupunta po kase ako dun sana.
