“This will be my graduation rite” I said to myself.
In fact, I kept saying that statement to myself na tama na, I’m no longer young pa- para maging carefree and I need to step up na at maging mature. Maybe, one of the action plans of growing up is not to get crazy sa Puerto Galera every holy week. Seemingly, partying at the beach of Puerto Galera is so young and wild; and for me grow - is to avoid it at all.
But last summer Holy Week 2018, my friends and I, planned to go there kasi nga first time nila. Who am I to decline my friends who were very curious about the happenings of the said beach? Every time I narrated my story to them, I can see on their faces how the seed of curiosity drastically grew into a tree of eagerness to experience the same story that I’ve uttered.
“Nako friend, you have to try PUERTO GALERA during Holy Week to complete your Gay Life”, I jokingly said to M.A. Buendia and William Pombo, who are both Puerto GAY-lera virgins. (I was once a Puerto Galera Virgin .. READ MORE)
“Sige Friend, let us go no matter what fortuitous events might occur”, POMBO and MA.

“Balik tayo dito , ang saya and LGBT people here are respected by the locals” said Buendia.
“Oo nga, parang walang paki ang mga straight at di ka nila babastosin” said Pombo.
I just smiled after hearing those comments from them because that was also my feedback during my “first time”. And until now, I kept visiting Puerto Galera during my random weekends whenever I need to unwind alone. Madaming nagsasabi na overrated na ang White Beach, Puerto Galera pero I still patronize the place wherein as a gay guy, you felt home and respected. Madaming nagsasabi na kaya bumabalik ang mga bakla due to easy access to hook ups but I should say – it is more than that. The feeling of being recognized and accepted are the reasons why gay guys keep visiting this place.
When Puerto Galera won’t show any homophobia – LGBTQIA will still go back to the place. A place where the rainbow flag is proudly displayed by the locals through their acceptance.
