Panikian Island, Pitogo, Zamboanga Del Sur |
From Pagadian City, walk towards the Cerilles Terminal near
the Public Market. From there, there will be vans going to Pitogo (Fare is
P100). Vans leave every 15-30 mins regardless of the number of passengers
(though they run as slowly as can so they have a good chance of catching
passengers midway in case not in full load). First trip to Pitogo is 6am and
last trip going back to Pagadian, from Pitogo, is 4pm.
In Pitogo, ask to be dropped in the Municipality and look
for the Municipal Administrator (Mr. Roland P Eta’s office, 2nd
floor). Seek permission so he can call the chief security in the island. Sir
Roland generously shared his mobile number for questions and those who will be
visiting on weekends 09185095741. You may also call his staff JP at
09497090607.
Boatride to Panikian island is about 30-40 minutes.
Remember:
The island is as pristine as you can imagine. No potable
water, toilet, etc so prepare to rough it out. There is reception though for
both Smart and Globe cellulars.
This trip is part of my 13 day Southern Mindanao Trip. I posted a few details of my schedule and expenses here
