Boracay’s is worth a visit just for the famed sunset’s. 

 A happy family enjoying a sunset swim in Boracay’s warm water .Life doesn’t get any better than this….

Taking a sailboat out during sunset is hugely popular , very peaceful ,and very romantic.

Long after the sun has gone down , the beautiful colors of Boracay’s sunset remain ,and so do the happy holiday makers frolicking in the water.

At about the time the sun and beautiful colors are gone from the sunset  ,the bars and beach-side restaurants come alive with lights and sounds as it’s party time .Enjoy  Boracay’s famous nightlife any night of the year.

Ah the shear beauty of Boracay’s sunset .Every traveller to Boracay has taken home a picture of Boracay’s famed sunset . Some come to the island to be married on White Beach with the backdrop of the setting sun. Others just feel the romance ,  beauty, and  tranquility of the setting sun .

The reason I came to Boracay in the first place was to see  the beauty of Boracay’s sunset .  When I was backpacking  the world in 1986,  I met this backpacker in Bali , Indonesia , who said to me ,”if you like the sunset’s here in Bali than you’re going to love  the sunset’s in Boracay, the Philippines, as they are incredible, full of different colors, from ,blue,orange , pink , red ,peach,white, and yellow .”

That conversation  stuck in the back of my mind for a few months ,  so when my year long trip was almost over , I decided I would check out Boracay’s sunset  ,the paradise island in the Philippines,  which I’d heard so much about . I really wanted to see the best sunset in Asia , and of course the fine white sand was worth a visit as well. I was not disappointed and decided to stay and make Boracay my home .

Personally my favorite time of day on Boracay is the sunset hour . That hour between  5pm and 6pm is cooler than the mid day heat so the White Beach fills up with locals,tourists,skim baorders , football players , joggers, etc….Everyone enjoys the daily sunsets on Boracay  in the beautiful Philippines.Come check it out for yourself….

Huge crowds enjoyed the Cocomangas Youth  league played under the flood lights at Boracay Island in the beautiful Philippines.

Cocomangas organized and sponsored the youth basketball league of Boracay , which was played at the main plaza at Barangay Balabag.

The winners of the youngest division ,  ages 6 and 7 ,is the tough talented team from the  Boradise Resort, Boracay.

I love basketball and I love my community here at Barangay Balabag situated on the paradise island of Boracay in the beautiful friendly Philippines. To give back to the community Cocomangas Shooter Bar organized ,sponsored and found other sponsors , so that the youth of Boracay could display their basketball skills during the week long tournament for the students and youth .

The youngest division , 6 and 7 yr old , was my personal favourite and was the crowd’s most popular division  of the event. The game of basketball  at such a young age was full of chaos,turnovers , and hilarious moments . The other age groups involved in the week long event were ages 8,9,and 10, ages  11,12, and 13  ,  ages 14 and 15  , and 16 and above rounding out the 5 different divisions .

At every age level you could see the different talent and basketball skills from certain individuals .I’m hoping that with this early exposure to basketball that those kids with some skills will continue to play and practice the game so that later on in life they can kick some butt in the local leagues over here in the Philippines.

I must thank all the sponsors for making it happen;Manana Mexican Resturant,Javas Clothing Company, Metrobank,Crafts Department Store,Summer Place,Hey Jude,Aria ,Casa Asia,Scott Mackinnon,Dave Straw Inn,and Cocomangas Pizza Hot-line.Without sponsors the youth league could not happen so thanks to all that care about basketball and the youth of Boracay .
