Drone Gathering, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

There is an amazing undiscovered village on Palawan Island named Alinmanguan. We recommended to stay at Victoria House by the beach surrounded by a local community. Paul Drzazga, my travel mate during this trip, was doing exploration of the shore with his drone, which focused attention of almost every kid from the village. Observing and following a strange and unidentified flying object was a great fun for the children … and for us as well.
