summer is over again
i just arrived from my long vacation in Gubat. Of course i did not miss going to rizal beach. I even attended a clan reunion held in the poolside and by the shore of veramaris. It was really a good feeling meeting and seeing ur unknwon distant relatives. I even met my old classmates in HS and attended our class reunion. Three days before i left, i made it to strolling rizal beach at night. Oh, it was so relaxing and refreshing. I even wished of not coming back anymore, hahahaha. I felt really sad when i left Gubat, leaving and saying goodbyes to ur old friends, family, classmates and neighbors. But, I am hoping to spend my summer again there next year.

— gloria estrellado, April 24, 2008

4 yrs. na ako dire nakaole but then dire ko makalimutan an masiram na pakiramdam whenever nasa rizal beach ako. malinigon ang tubig at napakaputi ng baybay as in para siyang boracay. sa mga nakabasa sini, pumunta kayo sa Rizal Beach para maranasan nyo ang sarap ng malinis na dagat.
— mitchell maverick, March 4, 2008

I was born in Ariman Gubat and grew up in Baguio City. I've been to Rizal and I can attest it is a very beautiful and relaxing place to go! Hope I can be back there again, it's been years since I last went home!
— Mary Jane Esquivas, February 27, 2008

Definitely Rizal Beach is the best.Sobrang proud ako talaga lalo na sa mga barkada ko dyan shirley,tamad,baby,dding at sa mga kaurupod ko magtinda ng shell ng bata pa ko at kaupod ko magsinsuro.Kahit saan pa siguro ako makarating I'll always be proud of my roots.

i was raised in Gubat
i was raised in gubat...i love it ...i ride my bicycle everyweek to go to rizal beach from my house...when ever my lolo's bday we go to rizal beach...it's a nice place to go..dangcalan too..i remember the aurora....i love it ...when i was a kid carrying the stars ...and eating a lot of foods after that and games....i miss those...someday i'll go visit Gubat again...
— Jebert Rocha, August 19, 2007

a place worth visiting....
rainy days here in my adopted place make me reminisce. can't help it but think as to what is happening in gubat, but the best place to visit memory lane is rizal beach. this place would surely help you go back to the past. this will even help you relieve and bury the pains and sorrows that you are hiding. you can even shout as loud as you can, run and wade the waters without minding others, and feel great after.

summer is over
summer is almost over, but for sure a lot of beachgoers are still dipping themselves to the cool waters of rizal beach, catching for the last time the pleasure it offers. Can't help it, but wonder and envy those people who spent their vacation there. Hope to make it next time.
— DOES, May 28, 2007

Vacation...
After five years of longing.. at last! nakabalik na ulit ako sa Bicol; My Ancestral Home!! I stayed at my Tita's House sa Mabaga, Rizal Sorsogon since my parents' Ancestral House located at Barrio Benguet have been left to ruins by the usual culprits!: Bicolandia's Storms... I must say; the experience is really hypnotic. I think my heart walk off my chest while i was sleeping and buried itself in the sands of Rizal Beach or maybe at the serene hills of barrio Benguet. That's why i feel groggy when i got back here in Manila, I miss the place already; a few hours just after my arrival hehehe. My parents are planning to reestablish a permanent home at Sitio Contod and i can't wait to go back at Sorsogon. e-mail me bros/sis' sometimes if you're planning to go back home so we could share a few beers at the Beach while singing a few tunes on videoke at one of Rizal's nipa cottages. hehe astig(^__^)!

lakaw-lakaw sa beach
my vacation is not complete without touching the sand of rizal beach (nan pagkiskis san baybay sa ngipon pampaputi liwat)I was born in rizal but grew up in ariman. dont know why but always fascinated by the beauty and splendor of RB esp sunset. I still recall i would always join my neighbors to go "bah-hit" (catching fish using net with 2 guys pulling it to the shore, ako tagadara lang san dakop), pabaybay nan sinsuro. just had my vac. last jan7 and planning again in jun7. guiller-asensado na an imo bulkitan? oyet-musta an arani? toto-ma-around sorsogon kita na upat uli.

Rizal Beach sana mas magayonon con deri linipunan sin mga balay-balay kay imudon conta an glistering white sand lalo na sa katanghalian.I grew up there and spent six years walking to and from Rizal Elementary School and I can still remember how much I admired and how proud I was being part of Rizal. When I left the Philippines and settled here in the states, permi ko inhahambog and Rizal Beach . But then, the first time I visited Rizal Beach after so many years that I was away, I was disappointed because I did not see the Rizal Beach the I used to admire. It was a shock for me. Hindi ako makapaniwala na it was total changed. Ganoon pa man I still love Rizal and plan to retire and spend the rest of life in my own native bario.

It was hot and very humid in Gubat, Sorsogon when we went there last September 18, 2006. We stayed there for four days and it was VERY HOT and VERY HUMID! Yes we enjoy the warm waters in Gubat beach. Whoever says the area of Sorsogon is "Switzerland" is telling a BIG lie, it's VERY HOT and HUMID in Sorsogon.
