There is no place like home and for me there is no place like Bacacay. I can say that because my hometown is Bacacay.
It is situated in the eastern slope of Mayon Volcano in the province of Albay, the Philippines. It is a coastal town, the entire coastline of which offers enchanting panorama of beaches and tropical islands.
Having stayed in this place for two decades, I afforded the tranquility of the place and the picturesque landscape surrounding me every single day. What a privilege indeed to belong to this place!
As a community deeply rooted in profound Catholic faith, the center of Bacacayano's life is the church. Every Sunday, Bacacayanos would attend mass and would actively participate in religious activities. A testament to this is the fact that our town produced a significant number of priests.

The entire coastline of my hometown has the potential for beach resort development.
What sets it apart is its black sand due to the volcanic nature of the place.
