thats a very good question. parang yung sa palawan dati. forgot the name of the resort.

Bili ka na ng share. Tapos pahiram.

Tapos hiram natin yung private jet ni Shadow para hindi na tayo makiki-pila sa "regular" jet plane with other club members.

LOL, baka sa monthly club fees pa lang, wala na akong pambayad.

LSB, my sister said na happy pa rin naman daw yung in-laws niya sa shares up to now. Hindi nga lang madalas puntahan (maybe once or twice a year).

[vinj]

big time talaga yung friend ko. pati GF niya. as in big time talaga. pero down to earth kasi silang pareho hehe didnt expect na ganun pala ka-special yung place that you need to charter a flight just to go there. hehe

Birds of the same feather diba? :D

Maybe they would have countermeasures for that i'd suppose, but that is a good question to throw before paying. I was told before that Pearl Farm has a large caliber gun perched on top of the hill nearby and this has been used against the Abu Sayyaf who were intending to check-in without any prior reservations (they promptly went to Dos Palmas right after... so the story goes).

has it always been exclusive for members only?

Primo, that was one of my questions. The island has a coast guard detachment (permanent daw). Plus beach patrols daw, as per the alphaland staff. I don't know how big the coast guard detachment is, or if those beach partols are equipped with Land Cruiser mounted 50 cal's ...

Anyway kung abutin ka ng malas, kahit naglalakad ka lang sa kalsada .... if its your time, its your time.

Here's a soft copy of the brochure they sent us, page 16 is really interesting. http://www.balesin.com/fileadmin/use...b_Brochure.pdf

Primo, security daw meron sabi ng alphaland staff. Coast guard detachment, and motorized beach patrol, 24 hours. Dunno lang if those beach partols sport Land Cruisers with 50 cal machine guns ...

I surrender!

I think yes but I'm not very sure though. I was just basing my opinion on what the alphaland staff told us in their sales pitch.

NPA knows better not to play with balesin members

I dont wanna drop names na pero like i said exclusive island tlaga and couple of influencial political ( like old school politics talaga) family has properties with in the island ...

Security is solid as a rock they are all over thr island pero very discreet lng and also there is a community within the island a small school, health center its a working community staff and their families ...

OP tell your dad to take the plunge bago pa tumaas ulit ang shares they are developing the island still dami pa construction all over

My boss ;)

If you are not yet married and have a GF dude pogi points to the max hehe

-----
Older crowd and nagpupunta pero you cannot call it a crowd usually 2-3 fams lang ang dumarating kapag hindi peak season . Minsan solo nyo island we were there last Feb midweek lage kme kung magpunta Wed alis manila uwi Sat the best un wala kasabay kahet sa flight dont even get me started on how the beach is il try to post pic kaso lahat ng kuha andun kme hehe

[kenzie]

small tips

walang signal ang GLOBE and SUNCELL all over the island

SMART lang ang meron signal

merun wifi sa lobby saka sa game room sa baba tabi ng pool lockers pero makupad pa sa dialup so pati dataplan if globe or suncell user ka it wont

thing is reason why you wanna go to an exclusive island is to get away from the daily stress of the metro so detached from the world and drama pag andun kami hehe

[lowslowbenz]

I am married ...

And of the "older" crowd na rin (40-ish geezer here). But hey, post them pictures ... just blur those faces! ..

No signal? ... Good. I need to disappear for awhile.

water is so clear and sand is so refined i dont know how it came about pero very fresh ang beach sariwang sariwa you can see how the water changes color as it goes deeper nature at its best hindi laspag ang beach kung baga sa kotse, wala ka kaagaw sa place you can do whatever you want hindi rin tsimoso mga staff na susunod sunod sa beach dami foreigner members boss

Part pa ng crack security team yung nasa picture? She already looks dangerous! Hehe!

[lowslowbenz]

Wow! Thanks for posting the pictures. That is one "big" pool. Last question, where did you stay there? Sa Balesin village, or sa mga theme villages nila?

By looking at who spearheads the developer, you can already connect the dots to that maybe? ;)

LSB, ihanda na ba yung jetplane? Business trip kamo? :D

BTW, i don't think the NPAs would have the horsepower to hit such a remote place as well since they are jungle/mountain-based bandits unlike the MILF/Abu Sayyaf bandidos who do inter-island travel down south and really need the powerful outriggers and boat skills to get by.
