Mantigue Island, Camiguin

Spent two nights in the Island of Camiguin with my father and his local relatives. The last time I was here was almost 20 years ago. It's a dear place because it's my paternal grandmother's hometown. People receive their nourishment from both the land and the sea. I had to let go of vegetarianism for a couple of days and ate fresh seafoods in order to truly experience life in Camiguin.

The beautiful island of Mantigue just 20 minutes off the main island where not many locals have gone. My father's cousins said it was their first time to go to Mantigue and they've lived in Camiguin practically all their lives.

Hi Tina,
I didn't get the name of the person in-charge of the island as my local relatives were the ones who took care of everything.
No worries, Fritz is now based in Davao and is planning to teach yoga regularly to those who are interested. I believe he's actually planning to put up a yoga studio soon. Just looking for the perfect place.
Namaste.
