Summer Play Station

Some things never change in my hometown. Even the entry of the internet and cable  tv can't change this. Local boys just want to have fun in their innate ways. This time, I witness a new generation of local boys enjoying the age old summer fun in the river. Surprisingly, they are not flocking to the nearest internet computer game station! They rather spend the summer at the original playstation - the river underneath Sabang bridge. 

Simply referred to as 'tulay' by the locals meaning bridge.

As usual, wherever I go, kids just love to pose for the camera.

Bystanders sit by the river wall while the others show off their diving and swimming skills.

The swimming station also doubles as parking lot for the local banca (wooden boats).

Swimming with their own free style. No tutor needed.

Jump frog style.

Having a swell day for sure with or without the camera.

Easy way to beat the heat in Bulusan

Bulusan river is just one of the several water spots in Bulusan. It is however the most accessible being located just a block away from the town plaza. In the photo is a local boy ready for a swim.

In Bulusan, beating the heat is easy with countless springs and rivers dotting its whole landscape. From water falls to gushing river to springs -  the choices are varied. The whole summer vacation is not even enough to  plunge and dip in all  of these known and unknown water spots.
