The adventure and, quote-unquote, soul searching didn’t end in Dasol, Pangasinan. After spending the night at Oms’ place in Mangatarem, we continued our travel at first light: to the surfing capital of the north, La Union. Or, as the kids these days say, “Elyu”.

The province of Batangas has some of the most visited beaches in Luzon. Being a province easily accessible to excursionists from landlocked areas, who believe that the sea is a vitamin, it is a quick haven for us who want a change of view from the city or the boondocks. Also, with a coastline so
