Here are some shots taken from the Zamboanga del Norte Road Trip last month. We went up north for a few days and toured the area. The locals have shortened Zamboanga del Norte to ZaNorte for its monicker to help promote the area for tourism.
On the way, our van broke down in the Panubigan area so we were sitting it out until things got back to normal and resume the drive.
We had a seaside lunch, here we are all standing up by the beach, longing for a quick nap just after the meal.
This is the tempting view of the beach in Zamboanga del Norte, before reaching the municipality of Leon Postigo.
This is the view from Leon Postigo's Municipal Hall. It is overlooking the park with the sea as its background.
And we hit the road again, sticking to the highway meandering against the sea. Our next location is Poblacion, a coastal village where some Subanens live.
The Subanens performed a dance for us to express their gratitude.
The colorful costumes and gestures are so native and cultural.
Some Subanens came to join the community to greet us in our visit.
One way to get around is by tricycle, a local mode of transportation. School children take a ride in numbers.
This guy is a regular at the Alvenda Mountain Resort in the Municipality of Mutia.
He was curious with new faces in his property.
Alvenda is a mountain resort which offers facilities like a swimming pool, a cottage for overnight, zipline and trekking in a quiet place with fresh mountain air.
