We hopped on a cabana, a bamboo raft with a nipa hut on it, and glided over Palina river for the next two hours. I say “glide” as our cabana was just pulled by a small pumpboat. Soft guitar strains and sweet melodies from two Capiz locals serenaded us as our cabana passed by more mangroves, as well as fish ponds and different fishing contraptions.
