My experience over their in Samal is fun and amaze with my family and relatives.And one of the favorite places to visit during summer days.We arrived in Samal with complimentary tickets as gift to my ate Issa mark as spared us from paying the entrance fee of Php 200.00 which includes the unlimited use of the glides,diving board and tables and chairs.Since it was a nearly noon we took a quick lunch  at the restaurant of the resort.After few minutes of rest we decided to swim in the beach but the life guard firmly required us to wear a life jacket for the safety purposes. And since we wanted to have a action documented,I asked my Kuya Stephen to take a picture or you can asked for the service of the resort attendant to take the picture for Php 60,00 using our own SD card in their DSLR camera with free picture printing. After finishing screaming  in the beach we decided  to rest and go to our own cottage.After that we traced our way back home and brings our experiences in SAMAL
