Biri Island, Day 2

Waves pounding against Magsapad.

SUNRISE SHOOT

I got up very early the next day for the intended sunrise shoot among the baby mangroves.  We had to get to the spot by 5 am and so, Orlando picked me up at the ungodly hour of 4 am.  The major mistake I made was to intentionally leave my tripod in my room.  It was one of those silly decisions one makes when one is not accustomed to waking up that early.

Biri Island is geographically located north of the island of Samar and belongs to the Balicuatro island group.  It’s administratively under the the province of Northern Samar and is locally governed by its own self-named municipality.  Biri Island is mainly famous for its very picturesque rock formations in its northeast coast facing the Pacific Ocean.
