Last weekend, I revisited a beautiful island situated in Eastern Visayas, Canigao Island in Matalom Leyte. As expected, it felt like the first time - my second visit was adventurous and enjoyable with a couple of friends. With the help of Cebu's photographer friends, we were able to post some of the best photos on Instagram during our 2-day stay.
