Bolinao Part 1






Bolinao is a third class municipality in Pangasinan, located about 80 kilometers away from Lingayen. The municipality boasts of powder white beaches, such as that in the photos. Bolinao is also home to one of the UP Marine Science Institute's research laboratories--and, I think, a marine sanctuary.

Some years ago, Bolinao was at the center of a historical controversy when some people claimed that it actually was the site of the first Christian mass in the Philippines, and not Limasawa as history books have long held. As to the veracity of this claim, no one can tell for sure. Perhaps only time (and scholarship) can shed light on the issue.

Nevertheless, enjoy the photos.

A great euphonious in every box
