Isla Romantica, that's how they name this islet. But this  is really unique and at the same time, mysterious. Many said that the name of the island was given to describe how romantic it is especially during sunset. But one thing reveals into my naive mind is that it was named, not literally, by the owner itself. Wonder why I said owner? Well, let's don't make it a wait.

This island was made by Mr. Benjamin or Noy Ben. Yes you're right! this amazing islet's man-made. It was stated that he build this for 5 years and this was actually a coral island at first. Imagine a single individual - old man improved one nature's gift. That's made him an artist himself! Maybe Noy Ben was a romantic man and that was kind enough to create such creative idea. Romanticized by his thoughts and such artwork made. Whatever the origin of the island's name, yet it is observable that it is indeed romantic.

You will never doubt going such gigantic trip especially in this islet, despite its simplicity, it showcases refreshing surrounding, crystal clear water, many visible sea creatures and many wonders. Suits for lovers and family gatherings.  You can stay under the shades of the tree, make some picnic set and shoot- Romantic isn't it? 

The island is located at Alegria, Cordova but before you can get into the island, you must first take a good ride with a  banca. P10.00 per head for adults and P5.00 for kids. Usually, Noy Ben will be your guide for his own island. And better tell him to comeback at your preferred time of setting off. For additional romantic points, better bring your own packs and goods,portable chairs, tents, blankets and other necessities.. Because the islet doesn't have electricity, CR and sufficient tables. But there are tables and a kubo for rent. I'm still not sure if he allows renting overnight.
