Verde Island is a volcanic island situated along the bodies of Verde Island Passage between the islands of Luzon and Mindoro, Philippines. It was in 1988 when a small village was connected to mains electricity through the effort of a European project using technologies such as solar panels for the island's self-sufficiency. Since then, it has been declared by the Philippine Tourism Authority as one of the country's marine reserves.[1][2]
Geography
Verde Island lies south of Brgy. Ilijan, Batangas City and is separated from Luzon by the North Pass. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes by a boat or 25 minutes by a ferry boat from Batangas City Port to reach the island.[3]
Famous destinations in the island include:
- Mahabang Buhangin, a kilometer-long stretch of white sand beach.
- Cueva Sitio, a cave that leads to the other side of the island.[4][5]
Verde Island has been a destination for tourists and divers in Batangas City since 1999, after the Pastor clan opened an P80 million resort at Brgy. San Antonio.[6]
