We did spend a few days before and through Sunday of the holy week in 1974 in Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro, and then proceeded to my hometown of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, where Island Puti or White Island is. Islang Puti is part, to the south, of the APO Reef, which is off the shore of the town of Sablayan. The island is just off to the west of San Jose (a 15-minute boat ride) in the China Sea.
