Cerulean skies over turquoise green waters greet us as we approach the pristine beaches of Kalanggaman Island in Palompon, Leyte, Philippines.
You'll be surprised that there is an island in the middle of the Visayan sea. Part of Palompon, Leyte lies a powdery white sandbars. Greatest discovery last 2013 for the people of Leyte.
As a native of the Leyte Province, I can say that this gem is truly to be proud of. Kalanggaman Island offers the best white sands and amazing sandbar. Though just a small island but this place gives you that feeling like you're in a paradise. After supertyphoon Haiyan hit Leyte in 2013, this island paradise continue to stand strong and boost its beauty. Just like a true Waray, resilient, strong and beautiful. #Culture
A great diving trip with a delicious lunch on Kalanggaman
