MANDAUE CITY, Cebu – Planning a summer get away?
Don’t forget to add a visit to the Marine Sanctuary and the Pag-utlan Camp that are both located in Barangay San Vicente in Olango Island to your wish list.
A visit to these two destinations will allow you to enjoy fun under the sun, but at a very minimal cost, said Representative Paz Radaza of the lone district of Lapu-Lapu City.
How to get there? It’s easy.
