This was not how I envisioned my Bantayan Island visit. Our entire trip was enveloped with time constraints. Not to mention I was two months pregnant which forced me to move a bit sluggish and overly wary. Sta. Fe was the only municipality we set foot on. And this is where the island’s white gleaming…
