In case you need yet another reason to visit Malalison Island

In case you need yet another reason to visit Malalison Island in Culasi, Antique, here's this innocent-looking yet carnivorous life form, the tropical pitcher plant(Nepenthes).



This insect-eating plant is scattered all over the island like unwanted weeds harmless among humans but not to the poor insects who can't afford to pay a fishing boat to ferry them safely to the mainland. Haha!


Malalison Island is one of the three island barangays of Culasi, Antique. It is a 55-hectare island known among locals as Mararison Island since Antiqueños pronounce the L sound as R. From the poblacion, a visitor needs to take a 15-minute boat ride to reach the island. This alluring island offers clear blue waters, pebbled beach sand and coral reefs. Visitors would definitely enjoy swimming, fishing, scuba diving and sailing.


Here's one good blog entry that leads you to the island:
