Nagsasa Cove in San Antonio, Zambales,
used to be rocky until the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo,
which dumped tons of volcanic ash in many parts
of the region. Nagsasa Cove is endowed with the same
features as Anawangin: a beach of ash that absorbs
hear faster than the usual sand; a blanket of agoho trees,
a type of casuarina tree, often mistaken for pine trees;
the azure sea teeming with life and color
and gently sloping hills framing the view.
