Sipalay City is awash with beauty and maybe what defines it. But apart from the natural wonders in the area, what struck me the most was the strong sense of community as the people celebrated their fiesta with events drawing from their long history of fishing and mining. Sipalay is a relatively undiscovered gem that will soon make its mark in the country.
