Doot Beach Now…2009

April 14, 2009

 I visited Gigaquit last March 21 - 24, 2009, please have time to watch the following videos:

 

The once beautiful Doot Beach has been gone. Beautiful memories within this beach could now only be cherished through old pictures.

My kids were so lucky that they were able to enjoy this proud beach last last year. They had too much fun collecting some empty shells and catching some little live crabs. They even brought with them their priceless catch in our home in Cavite. As I let them see these videos, they were so shocked and couldn’t believe what did happen: “Di na kami makaligo at makapasyal dyan Tatay?” was their question. I just told them: “Maswerte kayo at naabutan nyo pa at naenjoy nyo pa yan”. I remember when I was a little kid from Poniente, my visit to Gigaquit (Poblacion) would never be complete without the glimpse of Doot Beach. Whenever we had special occassions or after the fiesta, surely, we would be having a picnic at Doot Beach… those were the days…huh!

After the January storm that changed the face of Doot Beach, people from barrios and kailajahan went to Poblacion just to see the beach. According to Alvin Egay: “Tuyo lagi an luha nan mga tiguyang pagkakita sa Doot”. Really true! I, for myself, got a sadness feeling when I saw Doot. Doot Beach has been a part of every Gigaquitnon and every Gigaquitnon is always a part of Doot! This time, Doot needs us. What shall we do now to save her?

 Please do share these videos to all Gigaquitnons and Gigaquitnons by heart out there so they will know that Gigaquit is also waiting for them. I hope my little way of spreading the news be able to open some eyes and hearts for our beloved Gigaquit.
