Puerto Galera (or port for galleons, if translated literally) is a
small town on the northeast coast of the island of Mindoro in the
Philippines. Though it is a quiet little town, it is a popular summer
destination in the country. People come here from all over the country
and the rest of the world for its wonderful beaches and fun water
activities. Others also come here for its nearby forests, waterfalls,
and dive spots.
The little town has always been a trading haven even during the
pre-Spanish era of its history. Evidence of this comes from artifacts
from Thailand, Vietnam, and China dating way back into the 10th to 15th
centuries. The Spanish took advantage of its natural harbor and used it
for trade. The town soon became the government seat of the whole Mindoro
Island. In December of 1927, Puerto Galera was turned into an
independent municipality through a congressional act.
The Puerto Galera weather
is pretty much like the rest of the country. The months from March all
the way to May are hot summer months. June to October are the rainy
months, which are accompanied by tropical storms. The rest of the year
is favorably cool, which makes the months from December to May the peak
season for tourists.

here is a big hit since the submarine ecosystem here is fantastic. Dive shops
