PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:

Tikling Island, sometimes spelled “Ticlin” (Spanish for Egret) lies in the San Bernardino Strait, at the southeastern tip of Luzon, some 4km offshore from the township of Matnog.  Matnog has a vehicular/passenger ferry terminal that handles at least six return trips a day to the Port of Allen on Samar, carrying thousands of passengers, numerous buses and cargo trucks traversing the Marcos Highway to southern islands.  

The whole of Tikling Island is a titled freehold property of some 51 hectares of which 10 hectares of coastal area is classified as government easement. The island, nearly circular in shape, has several small hills, one of which is some 180 feet in height, partially covered in natural bush, providing a shaded walk. The hillsides provide a water run-off area that is stored in old disused rice paddies of some 10 has. This fresh water area provides a haven for water birds. Many coconut trees have been planted and must now total over 4000 trees.  A caretaker also looks after copra production as well as his own produce garden.  There are no squatters on the island and only a few nipa huts as well as a three- roomed concrete hollow block, nipa roofed building erected some 15 years ago.   

Numerous visitors frequent the island mainly on weekends in summer months and local fishermen rest there between fishing forays.  A plentiful supply of water is available from wells at a depth of some 2 meters.  Flushing of the pump is a requirement if not used for some weeks to remove any brackishness, and though tested potable, boiling for personal consumption is recommended.  Of course, bottled drinking water can readily be brought in from Matnog Town. 

Fishing is plentiful off the nearby reefs, and visiting scuba divers enjoy the beautiful splendor of the offshore shallows.  With the prevailing winds from the North East, more than 50% of the Western beaches of the island offer fine white sand along with clear blue water for swimming. Fresh cool Buko Juice, readily available from abundant fresh coconuts, provides a delightful, refreshing bubbly drink, which then can be enhanced with the addition of various spirits such as Rum. 

My original plan for the island was to set up a rustic resort after retiring from Papua New Guinea, tapping the numerous travelers passing through Matnog, but as my PNG employment was extended by some seven years and after building a new house in Subic Bay, those plans were shelved.  Due to increasing age, my wife and I have no desire to retire to the island as we are very comfortable in Subic… for two main reasons: 1) Yachting is my passion; and 2) family members in Manila are so much closer than if we were at Tikling. 

As a result of our changed plans, the entire island of Tikling is for sale.  For the buyer it would be very suitable as a private haven, or rustic resort offering varied water sports, bush walks or a place to just relax far away from everyday pressures.  With 41.5 has of usable space, Tikling Island could even be developed into a commercially viable holiday resort offering utmost privacy yet pleasurable adventure to local and foreign tourists alike. 

The asking price is US$975,000.00 (US$0.975 million). 

 Further information can be obtained from Dan A. Calleja, my cousin-in-law, who is also authorized to sell the property in our behalf.  He may be contacted through: Mobile: (63 2) 919-8435221  Landline: (63 2) 724-5206  Fax: (63 2) 410-9551 Or email him at [email protected] or [email protected]. 

Thank you for your attention.
