Welcome to our Blog!

Greetings! Welcome to our Blog!


For our PERSEF1 class, we are required to make a meaningful project that (in a way) impacts the audience. And so, after much deliberation, we came to a decision that our project will be a blog about Samar. We chose to do a blog because we want to promote the Philippines by showcasing its natural beauty; and what better way than to show you Samar, one of the best places to visit in the Philippines?


So how many islands are known for it's beauty here in the Philippines? If you take a look at the Philippines as a whole, you would find out that there are hundreds of other islands of that are of Samar's caliber. The list is endless! Procuring a blog that showcases all of those individual islands would take me as long as one would take to finish a report on every single grain of rice in a granary!

Although we hardly believe those words ourselves, saying that a grain of Samar is just a diamond speck in our beautiful country would just be an understatement.


And while we can't create a blog about every other visit-worthy place in the Philippines, we can however make a blog about Samar. A Samar that, like a star, shines brightly here in the Orient.

Biri "The Rock" Island

Alright, let's talk about these rocks...

Far from the image of a rock as a dull, gray and lifeless object, Biri is like the canvass of mother nature where she shaped the immobile earth into iconic landscapes that puts concrete art to shame.

Location: Biri, N. Samar

The rock formations are what people go there for. If you don't know what they look like, don't worry because we borrowed a few pictures from the internet for your viewing convenience (thanks to them for capturing such beautiful scenery in photo) .






Looks great right? These are just two of the famed rock formations. The seven prominent rock formations are called Magasang, Bel-at, Magsapad, Caranas, Macadlaw, Puhunan, and Pinahawan.

In Biri island their are 3 amazing little islands you could go enjoy going to, to look at rock formation. The names of these 3 little islands with rock formations are Talisay, Magesang and Cagnipa. Initially the place is called Biri island and not each of the names they have. A little known fact about the islands  is that these are passed by the Spaniards ships to go to Capul.

Although Biri island is know for its rock formations, you could also swim in some parts of the island. There are small body of waters that could let you enjoy swimming in this places.
