in baler where the sun shines and the waves visit is where freedom bathes under the blue skies in the seaside realm of surfing
simple hotels line the shore where you can run to the beach fronts after settling in little white rooms, and in the blue water wait tanned, youthful surfing instructors-- local boys of the province who've grown up with the salt water as their playground.
get on your surfboard and join the waters, "mag-timing ka sa alon,"— "wait for the waves", the instructors say and lie down on your stomach on the surfboard, and when you do get the waves you ride them fearlessly, you are lifted, invincible, by the hands of the philippine sea.
and if you don't surf, the smooth sands are there, calling you to lie around under the seaside sun.
and when night falls and the waves are reckless, you can sit on the sand with a bonfire and some drinks— watch the stars with the sound of the tides as your music and do not fear; for in the morning the waves will come rushing back to the shores of Balers to give anyone freedom as they always do.
Baler, Aurora—a beautiful province in the Philippines known for its beautiful oceans, a place where surfers and everyone else come to ride its waves.
