It takes courage to build the life you’ve always wanted—just ask Terence Angsioco, who just last year found himself a new home in the Islands of Palawan: “I lived in this country all my life, but I never had a chance to pursue the island life I've always dreamed about ‘til the pandemic hit last year. I flew to Coron, Palawan two days before the lockdown, thinking that I’d spend a month or two there. As we know, the lockdown kept on extending, and I kept on extending my stay. Now I call El Nido my home. I consider myself very lucky to have moved to Palawan. El Nido’s highlights will always be its tours to places like Big and Small Lagoon, Seven Commando Beach, Shimizu Island… but these are just the tip of the iceberg. There are spots that aren’t as popular, but just as amazing—there’s Duli Beach for surfing beginners, and Sibaltan is an amazing dive site with a manta ray cleaning station. Aside from that, there’s a great community that has grown organically because of the pandemic: small business owners turned friends who continue to keep each other afloat. These are the people who chose to stay, fight, and continue moving forward, supporting each other. It's exciting and it's already giving birth to new partnerships and awesome collaborations. These are the people making El Nido a better living space by starting ventures like organic farming, sustainable tourism, and vegan and vegetarian restaurants.” 📍 El Nido, Palawan 📸 Terence Angsioco What are your #GRIDHometownStories?
