Outrigger boats transported us from Sta. Lourdes Wharf going to Dos Palmas. It was almost an hour of traveling in the open sea. See the boats with sturdy support on their sides. The locals showed also their support to us by giving a warm welcome complete with folk music.

The musical instruments you see in the picture are called "kulintangs". From Wikipedia, kulintang is a modern term for an instrumental form of music composed on a row of small, horizontally-laid gongs that function melodically, accompanied by larger, suspended gongs and drums.

As a standard procedure, life vests are given to all passengers during a long boat ride. The orange vests sit on the chairs after we take off the boat.
