Prieto Diaz

Prieto Diaz is a 5th class municipality in the province of Sorsogon, Philippines.
According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 18,925 people in 3,623 households. (wikipedia)

Can't say much about this place right now - the place of my paternal roots. I haven't had the chance to really explore it just yet but I already felt that it has a lot of potentials to be one of the ecotourism destinations in the province.

The GK Village itself is a nice place, considering that you know what a Gawad Kalinga Community stands for (bayanihan, a sense of camaraderie, empathy, altruism). Here, the residents sell their very own home-grown veggies for extra income.


And there's Sabang Beach...unexploited beach that only the locals have the privilege to enjoy.... only because it is still practically unknown to tourists.

i heard there's a mangrove forest here. will definitely go there next time...
