Dako, in our own dialect as Surigaonons would mean ‘big’. Trying to figure out if it was really the biggest islet among the several others in Siargao, we visited the so-called Dako Island. Same as the other islands in Siargao, Dako had fine white sand and crystal clear water.
As I was attempting to examine the beauty of the place, I saw a family playing wind surfing. With all the gadgets they had, I could say that they were very rich enough to spend time there. They didn’t appear wealthy only but looked foreigners as well.
So we took a few more steps from where I’ve seen that view. When I got closer, I’ve realized that I must have seen the older guy before who looked like a father. His face was so familiar to me. I couldn’t get into my senses where and when but I know at that time that he was famous. Later did I know that he was ABS-CBN’s Chairman and President Gabby Lopez. I said to myself that that place must be world-class because even one of the richest people in the Philippines have known such a secluded place in the archipelago. It was not surprising though since Dako island is one of the Philippines finest and the biggest among the islets.
