Small break for barangay Silangan


 Foreboding Silangan Cliffs

Silangan, a coastal village in Northern Mogpog in the periphery of Datum Station Balanacan, the point zero reference for Luzon Datum of 2011, therefore the geodetic center of the Philippines, is still hardly reached by many Marinduquenos. Access to Silangan by car or motorcycle particularly during rainy days render it impassable, so visitors prefer just going to Silangan by boat from Argao.

Farm-to-Market Road in Sitio Basyao, Silangan. Local folks are beginning to realize that they live in a very unique place that people would like to experience.

The four-kilometer stretch of rough road from Argao to Silangan is punctuated by a 100-meter concreted road between Argao and Hinanggayon. The main road is cemented at Silangan central. 

Residents recently requested Cong. Lord Allan Velasco for concreting of a farm-to-market road in Sitio Basyao that also provides a trail leading to Datum Station Balanacan.

Far-flung quiet road that awaits nature's explorers.
