Kamusta from Manila

[weremermaid]

Kamusta and hello from Cherrie in Manila. I've been paddling sea kayaks, snorkling and diving in the Philippines, Mayalysia and Singapore since 1992 and have been a member of the Singapore Club Aquanaut group.

We have 7100 islands in my country, so there's always an excuse to play in the sea if there aren't any typhoons. If you guys and gals have any question about travel in the Philippines, do email or send me a message.

Hi Cherrie,

Where do you usually dive in the Philippines? I spend a lot of time there too!

Mugandung umaga, kaybigon! I used to live on Palawan, did some work with Haribon. My name "Salimbag" was given to me by some Batak tribespeople I was working with. It's the name of one of their deities, a large, pale humanoid forest spirit that is a friend to all the animals. I got the name after I caught a large python in the forest one day and carried it back to the daes camp. Philippines is wonderful. I'm always looking for more work there. I'll be back visiting the Batak group this summer, plan to throw a party for them the forest: food, drink, and music, as a kind of appreciation for the work we did together. Any forum members would be welcome!

Hi Scott,
I was wondering where "salimbag" came from, kinda apt! Looks like you had a good friendship with the Batak tribe.

When are you heading for Palawan? It's summer here already and the mangoes are all ripe and juicy. Would the Bataks be close to Puerto Princesa or in Coron Island, Coron?

I might be in Coron in late June with a musically gifted friend as well, we're hoping to dive the eleven WW II japanese wrecks there and just explore.
