Dam

Dam, Dalipi River and DENR Substation at Magdiwang, Sibuyan Island, Romblon

February 26, 2013 by Josiah Leave a Comment

After warming up on the hiking tour of Sanctuary Garden Resort in Magdiwang, Sibuyan Island, Romblon we decided to do what the lady on the restaurant suggested to hike to the DENR Sibuyan Substation passing by a dam and Dalipi River. We first asked some of the staff there on how we could go to the places, they told us a series of complex directions and waypoints that I easily disremembered. They also suggested that we could hire a guide for 500 Pesos to accompany us, unfortunately, we were going low on funds. Good thing that Dazl and Jessica was here. But if all else fail there’s still the option of wearing my clothes inside-out to catch the locals attention and ask them for directions.

I thought that the Dam would be more than a couple of hundred meters away from Sanctuary Garden Resort but it was just less than 100 meters away. The clear waters from the Dam and the people already swimming on it was really inviting! I wanted to swim but I can’t as we still needed to continue walking. I thought that maybe I could go back later in the afternoon after our hiking trip to take a dip at the cool waters of the dam. But that did not happen.

Solution to a stressful day

Last April my brother showed me a set of pictures from Wawa Dam. Nature on the background, people sitting on the dam, chatting, eating and letting the mossy green waters trickle down to cool them off. I want that feeling too but due to my busy schedule I wasn’t able to experience it then.

And after 5 months of work deadlines and busy road traffic my schedule finally gave in and made a gap for me to go to Wawa Dam. I can hear the birds chirping, feel the cool mossy green waters flowing and see the big white rocks and trees on the background, all in my head of course. The plan was just simple, get directions, step out of the house and just go there. No buts. No excuses.

After 1 hour, 13 minutes and 26 pesos of jeepney ride I was finally able to reach my dream destination.

I looked up and saw that the weather was good. All I have to do is just walk the trail and I’ll finally be able to reach the foot of the dam.
