Sunrise, Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao Oriental by Jojie Alcantara

The blueness of the Pacific sea in these parts of my birthplace makes it one of the most beautiful beaches you can ever find in the islands of Mindanao.  When waves are high and playful, you will see skimboarders dotting the shores of this long sandy strip.  During sunrise, however, you will have all the beach to yourself, except for the busy fishermen starting their day as early as you.
