  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

According to Undersecretary for Priority Projects Jonas Leones, the aid was part of the second phase of ComPassion Project, a community outreach initiative of DENR career officials and employees for government hospitals fighting the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Recipients were medical frontliners at the East Avenue Medical Center, Lung Center of the Philippines, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, Philippine Heart Center and Philippine Children’s Medical Center. Leones said each hospital was provided with 30 sets of complete overall suit and face shields for doctors and nurses, and 30 sets of laboratory suit with hair and shoe covers and face shields for the support staff. The medical frontliners were also given grocery packs, which included alcohol and washable face masks. Leones, who is also the president of DENR Association of Career Executives, said that the Compassion Project was established out of their desire to help those affected by the pandemic. QC so far has recorded the highest number of corona virus infections in Metro Manila. “ComPassion was derived from the words compassion and passion. As a government agency, we thought of a campaign where we can help those who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said.
