If the Philippines has indeed 7,107 islands during
low tide and 7,106 during high tide then that island difference
can be seen in the Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos, Pangasinan.
These group of islets and islands can be seen
at the northeastern part of Alaminos City.
Pangasinan is a province 250 kilometers north
on Manila. The province is bordered by the provinces
of Zambales and Tarlac on the south, Nueva Vizcaya
and Nueva Ecija to the east, La Union on the north
and the Lingayen Gulf to the west. The name Pangasinan
was derived from the word "asin" or salt due to
Pangasinan's vast salt making industry. The province
is also a major producer of mangoes, rice,
milkfish and bamboo handicrafts.
Pangasinan is more known for its most popular
tourist attraction which is the Hundred Islands
National Park. A cluster of more than a hundred
islands off the town of Alaminos on the Lingayen Gulf.
Of which, the biggest island is named Quezon.
Most of the islands are small and uninhabited
and are only occasionally visited during the day
by local and foreign tourist. Most of the bigger
islands have beaches where visitors can spend
the day or camp out for a picnic.
However, only a few of these island have facilities.
Those that offer facilities are: Quezon Island
with viewing decks, toilets and picnic sheds,
the Governor's Island has accommodation facilities
for those who would like to stay longer and the
Children's Island which has bathrooms,
camping and sleeping areas.
