Although life in Malapascua Island can be very simple (and also very peaceful), I believe they are also the happiest bunch of locals I have met. I guess it only makes sense that when the way of life is simple, there's also less tendency to worry about the world, and life in general.
Filipinos are almost always described as hospitable (or at least that's how we think we are), but it's only with the locals of Malapascua I've felt the most genuine when it comes to accommodating tourists in my ample experience of traveling in the Philippines. We've actually come across a local with a hidden agenda, but I'd like to believe it's an isolated case.
My favorite part of capturing life in this island is seeing innocent kids play in the sand and around the coconut trees. iPad, PlayStation and Nintendo 3DS are so far-fetched from the game plan of these kids, only the basic tools from nature!
I stopped by this boy doing something with twigs and stones in his hands.
No, the dog is not eating the toddler's arm, just sharing a playful bite :)
Run, Forrest, Run!
This little girl stopped and smiled when she knew I was taking photos.
Isn't she the most adorable? :))
