#Omagieca #Mangrove #Garden in #Bantayan #Island is the first Mangrove Garden I've been into. I went there with my boyfriend because it is said to be the location of the Camp Sawi #movie. They have a huge area, complete with huts and amenities. They also have a scenic view with the ocean at the back of the garden. Don't miss this place if ever you visit Bantayan. #Cebu #Philippines #Beach #wintergetaway
