This Pinay is living the quarantine-island life in Siargao

We all have a different enhanced community quarantine experience. People living in posh subdivisions have it different from those living solo in their condos, from those living with an extended family as an urban settler.

And then there is Ara Neyra, who hails from NCR, but chose to live on the beautiful island of Siargao, following the implementation of enhanced community quarantine in Luzon last March.

On the island, Ara has been able to do fun things most people would only get to do on vacation.

She spent her quarantine time freediving, spear-fishing, picnicking by the bay, and watching movies on a hammock under the palm trees.

A friend, whom she met while traveling, offered to let her stay for free. But ever the gracious guest, Ara helps around the house.

She's also looking for a job as an online tutor, as she has yet to determine when she will be able to return to NCR.

As temperatures rise in the Metro Manila, dare we say Ara is living the dream. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
