Mt. Tabjon - Oh! There's the Heart!

In the eyes of birds, the coastal stretch of Hinunangan is actually forming a heart shape.  

One afternoon, while others were sleeping, Dentor and I sneaked out of the sitio and went to the far village of Calag-itan.  There at the view deck of Mt. Tabjon, after a short walk on a dominantly unpaved path surrounded by coconut trees, we had a perfect glimpse of The Heart.  
Unpaved path
Oh! There's the Heart!
This place is commonly known as the heart-shaped of Hinunangan, but according to some residents, its real name is Tabjon.  It seems like a mountain without a formal name. Therefore in this writing, I would like to call the entire place Mt. Tabjon and, the spot where the heart-shaped cove can be fully seen as the view deck.

We came here a day or two after a week-long lockdown. I'm certain that we're the only tourists who visited the spot that day.  

Aside from Mt. Tabjon, there's also a marine sanctuary located at Calag-itan.   However, Our plan of visiting it after the climb at the view deck was an epic fail, the gates were closed!  Honestly, all tourism-related activities during these times were still not allowed, but it was just our rebellious sides that prevailed.  I guess Dentor is a strong influencer, huh?!

Den, the great influencer!  I was also a victim here you know!  
Time to go!
