How do I meet people in Malapascua?
When we asked people living in Malapascua about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Malapascua, is a small island known for its diving spots, making diving clubs and groups a popular choice for expats. These clubs often organize diving trips and training sessions, providing a great opportunity to meet fellow diving enthusiasts. In addition to diving, expats can also join local sports clubs, such as beach volleyball or football, which are popular activities on the island. These clubs often host tournaments and social events, providing another avenue to meet locals and other expats. Language exchange groups are also common in Malapascua. These groups are a great way to learn the local language, Tagalog, or other languages, and meet people from different backgrounds. Expats can also participate in community service or volunteer work. Many local organizations and schools welcome the help of foreigners, and this can be a rewarding way to contribute to the community and make new friends. Social events, such as local festivals, are another great way to meet people. Malapascua, like many places in the Philippines, has a vibrant local culture and regularly hosts festivals and public celebrations. Participating in these events can help expats immerse themselves in the local culture and meet people. Finally, simply frequenting local businesses, such as restaurants and bars, can also lead to new friendships. The island's small size and friendly atmosphere make it easy to strike up conversations with locals and fellow expats," said a member in Malapascua, Philippines.
