There’s no running water there yet. It is common for residents to travel via motorized bancas to Gen. Luna, Quezon for fetching drinking water and domestic use. A few wells exist but rainwater collection systems for other uses are found in most houses. People raise chicken and pigs for their own consumption, grow vegetables, and catch fish.
Many parts of this island of powdery white sand beach are virtually deserted. You could pitch a tent under the coconut trees or occupy the few inexpensive resorts where electricity runs from 5 pm to 11 pm. When going there, best to bring your own provisions. This island, at this time, is for those who fancy cooking their own food in a fire they themselves have to build, although the friendly locals are there to lend a helping hand if you so wish.
Nights can be creepy with the strangest bird sounds you'll ever hear, but when the moon is full and the water is still, you might experience some state of freedom and enlightenment there.
