Speak of beaches and Siargao can always be associated with it. Siargao is not just about waves, that capture the adventurous spirits of foreign visitors and local fanatics of surfing. With waves come the shores dazzling with fine white sands.
Siargao is not a single place (to narrow the misconception). It is a group of islands and islets consists of 9 municipalities with varied beauty of natural attractions. The municipality of San Isidro being one of them.
San Isidro is unpopular and, just like the other municipalities that missed the deserved spotlight, they are shadowed by the attention that Pilar and General Luna is getting because of the extensive promotion of now famous Magpopongko Rock Formation and Lagoon and the internationally acclaimed Cloud 9 surfing site, respectively.
But from a personal discovery during the series of trips in the island main, reveals another breathtaking glory of Siargao --the Pacifico Beach of San Isidro.
San Isidro is located in the nortern part of Siargao Island facing the open seas of the pacific. It is 30 minutes land travel via the common means of transportation "habal-habal" from the port of Del Carmen which is the closest point of entry and 1.5 hour away from the municipality of General Luna.
Pacifico, as commonly known in the area, is a kilometer stretch of white sand beach drawn in a shallow shore facing the powerful left hand reef break. Pacifico has the potential to become the alternative surfing destinations with its promising big reef breaks. As it lacked promotions, only few have known about the place and so it is rarely crowded. Which for a peace-loving person like me, is very much welcome ambiance.
Here are some of narcissistic photos for a wider preview of the beach and see tips on how to enjoy being alone in the beach:

love siargao..i'm proud to be siarganon...
In previous postings we have seen indisputable evidence regarding Congressman Rufus Rodriguez's ties to foreign pedophiles and child abusers in Cagayan de Oro Philippines. The evidence presented especially can not can not be disputed since it comes in form of the unedited confessions of those who profess to be under his protection, namely Gordon " TexKano " Elletson who currently resides in the congressman's home.
However, I now have something far more sinister to present which involves a British pimp named Michael Mountstephen who openly admits that he has political protection from various politicians in CDO Philippines.
This is an election period and while I am not affiliated with any candidate my hope is to enlighten the voting populace as to these disgusting issues taking place in Cagayan de Oro City. I find it disturbing that these sickening things occur in CDO and hope truly that the politicians of that locality will address these issues as they without doubt are important to the constituents of this city.
Please see link below for a pimps confession regarding buying protection from politicians in Cagayan de Oro Philippines so that he may engage in human trafficking and white slavery with absolute impunity to Philippine law.

If this pimp is lying and slandering the good politicians of CDO then he should face charges for his actions.

Below is a email that Gordon Elletson , of Cagayan de Oro Philippines, sent Mike. This email is very interesting as in it Gordon Elletson admitts to bathing with a small child. This is obviously disturbing seeing how Gordon Elletson has no children in the Philippines though he does have a few in America that he was a deadbeat father to.
Gordon Elletson will most likely state that that his wife watches hi bath with small children but then that will bring his wifes morals into question as what kind of self respected Filipina would allow her elderly white husband to bath with small children? Can we say enabler?

Been there, done that.
That shift changing is fuckin’ up your sleep habits.
Fucked up sleep habits lead to depression.
Depression, (if you had it before the sleep pattern was messed up) is nothing to screw with.
Damn near killed me.
Take walks
Eat and drink right.
Try some chocolate once a week or so (sometimes that helps)
We know you’re there. Stay in the back if you prefer. It’s okay.
Yep, a group that on normal situations, would never happen. hahahahahaha
You take care. Write me now and then if nothing else.

Hello Readers,
I have been reading on the Internet about this perverted foreign national Gordon Elletson and find it greatly disturbing. One very disturbing post was on Topix as it had the victims , Xavier Madlangbayan, own mother Margie Madlangbayan stating in no uncertain terms that this predator has caused her son a great amount of psychological distress as the victim now worries that the foreign predator , Gordon Elletson, will hit him again. I honestly hope that the victims grandfather Dr. Severino Madlangbayan will take time out of his political campaigning to bring his grandsons abuser to justice. I think he is doing a admiral thing in seeking a city council seat in Iligan City but I hope he also has not given up on bringing his grandsons abuser to justice.
Below is a cut and pasted posting written by the victims mother, Margie Madlangbayan of Iligan City Philippines:
Pasted:
“PNP here in Iligan failed to deliver the subpoenas to our door for the three consecutive times they were supposed to.
this is what the Prosecutor’s office is using to re-open the case.there is no “due process of law.”
both my parents and i were present in the hearing last nov.20.and so was xavier.gordon was absent.his lawyer was there vying and fighting,as he is paid to do,but assistant prosecutor Sandra fought with her tooth and nail.we are still waiting for the resolution to arrive.i sent a text to Fiscal Macauyag,there is no resolution yet.
the judge looked at my kid and probably saw his own grand child,just a bigger version for doy is a big boy,he was even mistaken by gordon as being 12years old,but when the incident happened,he was just 7years old,and that was last year.
he kept asking
“mommy,is Gordon going to be there?what if he hits me again?”
i told him:
“Xavier,he will pay for what he did.He will never put his hands on you again,over my dead body.”
i know i haven’t posted much updated,thus the question why i have been so quiet… but trust me people,i haven’t forgotten what that man did to my son.i’m just being silent.watching.waiting.if the case doesn’t get reopened,do not assume it is over.all this is far from over.it has just begun”
i like your blog.i am not a beach person but i kinda like it ever since i went to camiguin.there's a lot to see and appreciate in the philippine spots.dapat lang na hwag maging banyaga sa sariling bayan.
Gordon Elletson makes it sound as though he is a innocent citizen, sober since 1991 and a non-abusive person.
Truth is he was drunk there in CDO and called Bradley Hughes to help him. Also, Gordy Elletson has a long history a abusing both women as well as children !!!!! For evidence of this abuse just look at what his biological son Chad Elletson had to say on his FACEBOOK account in link below.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?v=wall&id=1720100274
We already have contact with Chad, who seems to be a nice man, and it seems Gordon not only abused him but also his mother. I think history has repeated itself in Cagayan de Oro Philippines as Gordons self caught up with him in CDO.
ang ganda naman parang pang swiiming pool yung water niya nag linis i love it.
nice! i might as well include this in my itinerary. hope i can find a cheap accommodation there. thanks!
Pacifico is a Beautiful place but it has some serious prblems with its local politics.
There is a teacher named MICHELLE GORGONIO who teaches grade 1 at Tigasao Elementary near San Isidro.
This teacher has made a Pornographic Sex Video for selling on the internet ( http://galleries.videosz.com/philippine-teen_3/11,801,0.html
this is one link to movie ) The Department of Education know of this yet still this teacher is teaching young children...... if she has no morals concerning using her own body to make peso what do you think will be her morls concerning her students?????
The local officials have tried very hard to cover up this teachers crimes which include making false police reports and filing a fake charges on the american man that she was engaged to when she made that sex video as well as having sexual relations with other men all the while taking money from her unkowing american fiance.... There are serious implications upon the prosecutors office as well as judge Canoy in surigao for either blatant ignorance and incompetence or more likely outright corruption as they ignored the obvious lies in this teachers affadavits there is considerable evidence and numerous witnesses that this teacher has lied to police and in these affadavits.... why does the deped, the prosecutors office and judge Canoy ignore all the evidence especially the obvious Sex Video of this bad teacher....
Tell deped how you feel here
