When December comes, as Christians we commemorate the birth of Christ. One way of celebrating the birth of Christ or Christmas is by organizing a party. So we the teaching and non-teaching force of our school will hold a Christmas Party 2023 on December 22, 2023. Together with co-Master Teachers from Elementary, I was assigned to book the venue of our party even if I did not attend the meeting. I was not able to attend the planning conference because I was busy at that time. So, what did, was I searched a beach in our municipality. I contacted first the beach owned by one of our friends in San Remigio who owns a beach. I just called her and asked how much the venue costs if it's exclusive. According to the owner if it's exclusive the venue will cost 9000.00 pesos including the video k to be used since the rent for video k is 1 500.00 but since we were friends they give us discounts. It's already 7500.00. I offered this beach as our venue for the coming Christmas party. I told my school head and fellow teachers that the beach does not have a swimming pool. Since my school head agreed and nobody interacted, I reserved the beach for our venue. On the next day, she sent me a message informing me that somebody suggested to avail of the free beach if there's no pool. With that message, I got bothered. I told my school that if there was a suggestion, suggest as early. It was too late already to cancel the booking. If they want, they will be the ones to cancel the booking because I felt shy and if that is so..we must pay a cancelation fee. But they are the ones to negotiate with the owner since I felt ashamed of doing so. I felt that I was no longer a professional. When our co-teacher gave me the exact amount for the venue even if it was already late at night I went to the beach to see if the 7,500 would compensate us if we just rented the beaches.
Beach Location
The beach was located at Anapog, San Remigio, Cebu. It is located between Rica and Orongan Beach Resort. You may look for the sign Guafelly Beach Resort with a newly opened road.
Features of the Beach
The beach is just a simple one. Its entrance fee is 50.00. There were cottages made of bamboo and tents. There's 1 open cottage and 3 closed cottages. The cottage's rent is 600.00 for bamboo and 1000.00 for a tent with a table and chair. I tried to count the rent of all. cottages and video K and if we are 60 persons with a 50.00 pesos entrance fee the total cost of the whole venue is 9,300. Therefore, I realized that 7500, is already a privilege.
A lot of beachgoers would love to visit the beach because of its very fine white sand and very long shoreline. It's clean, safe, and very peaceful. If you want to play volleyball, there is a net installed on the shoreline. It has a comfort room, grilling area, and washing area. The colorful umbrellas were designed to add beauty to the beach. The photos below show the various features of the beach.
That's all for this blog. Thank you and have a nice day.
