Wow... Caramoan remains on top of my list of favorite places in CamSur! The pictures look great, Sam, salamat... excited na kaming mag-dyan ni R. I remembered our InaKab feature on Caramoan years ago ... we dubbed Caramoan as the Last Frontier of Camarines Sur.
Hopefully, the claws of commercialism won't hurt Caramoan and its environment.
