The Cool Kids of Bantayan Island We visited Bantayan Island few months after it was devastated by super typhoon, Yolanda. Although the island is slowly recovering, the damage is still visible. There were roofless houses, broken infrastructures, coconut trees lie on the ground and some of the resorts were closed. These kids we meet in the island were very excited and no hesitation to pose with us for a groupie. 🙂 There were no signs of sadness on their face despite of what they’ve been through.
