I have read all your postings and answers about Culion. For me I am a man from the north, meaning the ilocos region. Let us accept whatever in our minds about this Culion island. It was instill in our minds that Culion was a land of the living dead, no matter what you say. Look, during my intermediate grades, they put it in the book, and to tell you frankly, I was just of those who read those horrible stories about the leper patients in culion. Therefore, you can not erase these memories in the minds of readers. For us, we want this culion island to stand up and be recognized, but I tell you it will take time, maybe not in this generation but later generation. And I tell you during my college days of accountancy I have met a classmate from culion, most of the people of culion but not all, will change their address once they set their own foot in the island of Luzon. However, correct me if I am wrong on this observation. I can not find anybody in the senate or congress whose address was in Culion. If we are sincere in promoting Culion as a beautiful island and move forward, something is possible, and if we are not sincere in promoting Culion island, something is not possible. Regards, Asiong Greetings, mabuhay.

This too was a Leper colony until late in the 20th century. I then looked into other locations that served as colonies around the world such as the Sungai Buloh Leprosarium and then Culion. From places like these, the stories of how the human spirit rises above the most difficult circumstances can serve as an inspiration to anyone who takes interest. Thank you for a very interesting and informative post. I was reading an article about a Ms. Figge who recently completed a trans atlantic swim at the Island of Chacachacare in Trinadad.

If you bothered to read any of the 20+ posts I did on culion in this blog, the vast majority of them highly positive and attractive, instead of getting the hair on your neck up and all hot and bothered, then maybe you wouldn't be so quick to comment. But you cannot ignore that it was once called that, and that is the history of the town. It is you who are so sure that the locals are bickering with one another... redgumamela, OBVIOUSLY it is no longer the Land of the Living Dead.

If people in Culion will just stand up and start to work without bickering with one another, Culion will be like other provinces in other places in the Philippines. Move on and have a new beginning... I just want to inform you that Culion is NO longer the Land of the Living Dead but Heaven.
