The Fascinating Magnaga Waters

I was surprised with the development of my place, this place really attracts many people in the sorrounding places Everytime I'm in vacation we spent the holidays here with the family. So I had the time to see what this place has. This is short but bold information about this resort. (I am doin this for free, pero maningil ra ko kang Mayor Uy pag uli nako... :-) )

Just a 2-hour drive from Davao City's downtown. The resort has a "Bunsod", a cottage build on stilts 25 ft. above sea water that guarantees privacy for guests. Once you're in bunsod, its just waters surrounding you. Great place for snorkeling, diving, nude sun bathing, swimming (try their slides), and fishing.


The road to ComVal (Davao del Norte) is good, with a good view of the mountain range. The resort boasts of its house on stilts called "bunsod". You can ride a pumpboat (during hightide), swim (it will probably take you around 20 minutes) or ride a regular fisherman's boat (bangka) to get there. In the bunsod, you have a breathtaking view of Samal Island, and waters surrounding you. Its the best hideaway from the crowded city!



Magnaga Waters Beach Resort in Compostela Valley, is owned by Tagum City mayor Rey Uy.
For all type of seasons, take time to pack an overnight (or a whole weekend) bag and take your loved-ones for a dip in the sea or simply enjoy frolicking along the long white sands of Magnaga Waters.

Pantukan - a good place

Pantukan is a nice place where I grew up, this is the place where I finished my early studies. It is a 1st class municipality in the province of Compostela Valley, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 61,801 people in 13,311 households.
