HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights

The initial impression of holidays to Ubay is formed due to its large agricultural heart where golden rice fields and flourishing corn farms colour the landscape in the colours of plenty, and the smell of recently ploughed ground is mixed with the salty air of the sea.
The terrain was crossed by rivers like the Ubay River, which provided calm and clear waters that attract the desire to take pictures and enjoy the streams of the river along the way.
The beaches in the low-key barangays of the coast offer a vacation without any commotion or any loud noise as the waves of the sea and the fishing boats of the natives make a pleasant background of relaxation.
The Ubay Public Market within the town proper is vibrant with day to day business, which is in keeping with the bustling pace of life in town and the generosity of the farmers who bring their finest produce to the stalls.
In its relatively low-profile but densely frequented design, the St. Joseph the Worker Parish Church is the cultural anchor of the religious beliefs and those who want to have a look at the local religious practises.
Lastly, the soft hills that envelop Ubay provide rugged trails and forest areas that challenge the hiker to venture on the less travelled ecosystem, off the main tourist path.

SEASONS TO TRAVEL

Seasons to Travel

The best season to visit the farms, take a walk down the river, and have an adventure should be during the dry season which is between December and May since the weather is clear with the fields at their greenest point and this makes it ideal to enjoy a farm tour, a walk down the river and to have an adventure.
The winter seasons in January and February offer pleasant weather that is ideal to explore the villages, tour farms, and take a relaxing stroll at the seashores.
The fiesta season in April-May will light up the town with colourful feastings, music and communal feasting, providing first hand experience of the festive spirit of Ubay, but the crowds are still small by the standards of more popular destinations.
The two factors of dry weather and cultural celebrations make these months especially appealing to the people who want to see the beauty of nature and the cheerful culture of Ubay at the same time.
The town is also at its picturesque best even during the shoulder months of March and June when the tourist numbers are lower and the town is peaceful allowing the visitors to immerse themselves in the local vibe.
Tourists need to be sensitive of the typhoon that occurs occasionally in the rainy season because this may impact on the travel plan and the river levels.

WORTH A VISIT

Worth A Visit

Ubay Public Market and Town Proper

The crowded marketplace with the stalls of fresh mangoes, pineapples, and the spices which are grown locally develop a sensory tapestry that shows how much the community takes pride in agricultural plenty welcoming visitors to sample the delights of the area.
The open plan of the market also promotes the experience of interaction between the buyers and sellers of the goods as the travellers can see the very practise of the daily barter culture that has supported Ubay all through the years, as well as get to know what kinds of products are grown here.
There are surrounding restaurants which offer simple but delicious meals like sinigang prepared using fresh fish off the shore, which can be viewed as a food journal of how the local food affects my day to day meals.
The central location in the town makes the market the centre of events where people showcase their crafts, music and dance giving the tourists the front row view of the local parties.
The shaded arcades of the market are shielding the shoppers against the tropical sun which is a practical design being comfortable yet maintaining the necessity to preserve fresh produce on hot afternoons.
The informal source of information in the town, the market is the most effective place to enquire locals about the unresearched routes, river paths or the most appropriate time to visit the local farms so that the travellers can shape their plan of activities to suit their interests.

Ubay River

Billed as a cool clear Ubay River flows over rice fields bringing a welcome relief to the tropical heat and providing a cool experience to kayaking and much needed strolls along the river.
Bridges of small wooden bridges over line the banks of the river and each has a different view point where photography can be done to show the interaction between any man-made structure and the surrounding foliage.
Seasonal migrations of fishes along the river lead to a large number of freshwater species that make it a favourite place among the angling and nature enthusiasts who want to view the aquatic life in its natural habitat.
The banks of the river are lined with banana and coconuts, the floating fronds of which form an inbuilt canopy, and provide shady picnic areas and places to lie down in the midst of a calm environment.
A local community on the river ensures the practise of traditional fishing, where handmade nets and bamboo poles are used as the tools of trade to provide visitors with a unique insight into how Ubay has existed throughout the years.
In the evening, visits to the river make it clear that the lanterns are gently lit by the river and the families are sitting together to tell storeys or to eat barbecue, which is an indication that the community is highly connected to this natural resource.

St. Joseph the Worker Parish Church

The plain appearance of the church, with plain stonework and a wooden bell tower, reflects the simplicity and religious nature of the inhabitants of the town who leave to collectively pray and have meetings.
Within, the altar is a silent retreat in which the scent of incense is mixed with the hymns, and where travelling persons can find a calm spot to look back at their way.
The murals of the church show the pictures of pastoral life; it is the blending of faith and daily work, which is the characteristic of the cultural identity of Ubay.
The church is turned into a vivid centre on this day of festival when colourful processions fill the streets, and locals are eager to show their traditional clothes which highlight the rich history of the town.
The immediate neighbours have a small garden where up to now the residents cultivate herbs and medicine plants and here is an example of how faith, nature, and community come together in the daily activities of Ubay.
The long history of the church, which traces its origins to the beginning of the 20th century, has become a living witness to the stability and persistence of the spiritual life of Ubay over the years.

Coastal Barangays

The unperturbed sands of the low-key beaches of the coastal barangays, without commercial resorts, is the perfect source of sands where the more than blue waters blend with the sky, providing the uninterrupted pleasure of swimmers and sun-bathers.
The local boats used in traditional fishing are called locally kunkun, and they move slowly along the shore, as the fishermen prepare fresh catches which then serve as the main course at the local dinner tables.
Villagers of these barangays are upholding rituals of old age, including nightly prayers to a successful harvest and the community meals of fish, which makes them feel that they are one and that is what a visitor can experience personally.
The pathways there are rustic wooden tracks, which take the visitor out of the beach and into the inland coconut farms, so he/she can walk through a landscape that has agriculture and marine life living together in harmony.
The very silent mood interrupted only by the rhythmic crash of waves and the voices of seabirds in the distance provides a perfect place to meditate or just have a relaxing time after a day of exploration.
The hand turned souvenirs (woven baskets, shell necklaces) which are produced by local artisans in the barangays offer a unique chance not only to enrich the communities through livelihoods, but to bring home a part of the Ubay culture.
