In Kalaliman (deep), explore deep sea marine creatures such as stingray, guitar shark, tiger shark and other pating (shark) species. What made me stay at this place? I was fascinated with the giant stingray, the stingrays on the glass roof and of course, I love observing the school of fish.

Bahura (means reef) is the second main section of Manila Ocean Park after Agos (flow). Bahura features fascinating sea creatures in the Philippine coral reefs.

I was born and grew up in Manila and seldom made vacations during my younger years. A business managed by my father added to the reasons why, it was impossible for him to leave for a couple of days for a family vacation.

The Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands covering a land area of 115,739 sq. m. (299,764 sq. km.). Main island groups are Luzon, [...]
