I felt really bad when I found out that parts of Entalula Island was already sold off to individuals or companies. I was thinking that, it is okay if they bought it but they cannot own the beach itself nor the water in front of their property. Somehow, our boatman thinks that people are not allowed to even step on their sand, as if they actually bought it. Unfortunately, this ignorance of the law seems to be continually perpetuated among the locals and they just blindly follow whatever the security tells them. Despite what we tell him, I don’t think there is little we can do to change his mind.

I didn’t go swimming yet as I was here primarily to take photos. The sky was getting quite cloudy and it wasn’t looking good for blue skies. With no blue skies, there water won’t look as nice either. Our boat finally left with the four of us guests. It was really nice since we don’t need to wait for a lot of people and we can take our time since it was easier to get a consensus with less people. On our way out of Entalula Island, we passed by Pangulasian Island. Apparently, this wasn’t part of our itinerary but we got a good view of the island. There was a large structure here which seems to be a resort. This places seems to be much more developed than the one a Entalula Island. To my dismay, this also turned out to be a private resort as well. To their credit, the resort looks very well made. However, it looks like the Bacuit Archipelago is being sold in bits and pieces, if I had the money I would like to buy some as well.
