The waves slapped my legs as I clumsily tried to board the two-layered balsa. A group of almost twenty persons were already on board the bamboo raft, a mix of tourists and legit fisherfolks outlined against the slowly setting sun. Before the afternoon ends, we got some fishing to do, lambaklad-style.

LONGSILOG BREAKFAST ALONG THE SHORE OF BARANGAY MALABOR

I was ruminating through this experience as I slowly chewed on my morning longsilog meal. We were at the exact same spot along the shore of Barangay Malabor in the town of Tibiao. It was the second day of Antique’s Katahum Tour and so far, it’s been a blast. I didn’t expect Antique to hold so much promise when it comes to tourism, being foreshadowed by its more popular neighbors of Kalibo and Iloilo.
