Coco Beach Island Resort is a huge place, 10 hectares of  prime land with only half of it   developed for the amenities of the resort and the rest are nature. Given its size, maintaining the natural beauty and cleanliness of the place  would always be a great challenge for its people. With the wet season having just started, keeping the resort clean has become a difficult task particularly for the Services Department and so, in the spirit of “bayanihan”, all the other male staff from Dining, Kitchen and Activity would take off their uniforms and put on working clothes with  bolos and large knives in hand and would start clearing up the resort of Mother Nature’s debris and keep the wild plants and trees from turning the resort  into a jungle. 

Taking a break from clearing the paths

This kind of “bayanihan” spirit has become a tradition for the employees of Coco Beach  for several years now. The Filipino word “bayanihan” refers to a spirit of community or “common unity” among people living in a particular area to lend a hand without it being asked in achieving a task that normally one person could not do since an entire group  would be needed just to accomplish it.. 
 
The waiters, cooks and activity guides helped  the  staff of  the Service Department  by  fixing  up  their own areas and doing some minor repairs like painting and varnishing,  waxing   the floors  doing  and small carpentry and renovation works to  ensure that their  areas  do not look shabby or run down. For the more able menfolk of Coco Beach,  they were assigned to clearing the wogging trail to make it safe for guests  and  they also cleared  the canal which served  as drainage system for all the rain water that would come down from the hills and mountains  surrounding Coco Beach.

There’s plenty of things to do at the resort even during this time of the year and everybody in the resort would always be happy to help and lend a hand in making the place beautiful and clean as ever. The Coco Family are in fact busier than ever preparing for the high season when many guests come for their holidays.
 
So who says these men are only good for  cooking, attending to your needs and or just bringing you to the beautiful places of Puerto Galera??? They go the extra mile to make your stay even more comfortable!
