Yeah, right. As if the provincial government do not know anything about it. It hasn't been a favorite tourist destination for some years now. There were reports then about lack of comfort rooms. Duh!
On the lighter side, I am re-posting my poem here about the Pangasinan myth of the Hundred Islands. The Ilocanos have their own version too.
masulok a sanlasus ya pulo
nanlapu ed laman da’ra’y alan
linmesa ed lua’y pasnuk nen Aro
arayan alan so akibakal
ed saray anito tan banaoen
ya nanuleyan nen Andibaing¹
nen panao’y dinidyus ed dalin
binakal nen Aro’y Andibaing
nen imbeliaw to ed sansinakub

Abuyak so laman nen Andibaing tan dia’d saray laman ton nibantak ed dalin tinmubo so dikan tinaoag dan makahiya ya no nagiro ed onkupit so bolong to.
