Mga Sipalaynon may ara nga duta ginabaligya sa Langub(Sugar Beach) just located at back of the resort. Few steps to the water. Good investments.. please email me at suzyalejano@yahoo.com

Tani mga taga Sipalaynon nga nag abroad mahimo ta foundation to help Sipalay. Sipalay wala ga improve. 62% sang mga mga bata malnourished. Only very few lang gamanggaranon. Wala gihapon Hospital, isa lang bangko. City man tuod pero indi city ang itsura. Mas sadya pa ang sipalay sang una. Halos mga tawo sa Sipalay wala obra.. Mga old books, toys, clothes and some donations puede ipadala to help the people of Sipalay. We started feeding in some schools diri. Hopefully makapatindog library and playground for the kids

# 8 Lacson St, Sipalay is my home. Though im staying and working abroad, Sipalay will always be a home sweet home. Last April/May i took some pictures of a beautiful sunset sa baybay and posted it in google earth and Lonely planet (check it out), another shot taken in Panaon and one in Punta ballo..i love to capture beautiful creations of our Great GOD, and sa diin pa bi ako maka-capture sini? kundi sa akon banwa! Godbless Sipalay and may good and clean governance will someday prevail.. Lode Tubongbanua

It's awesome place..very relaxing and it's a good place to retire. We were there with my family and my 3 kids specially my 4 years old boy, thet really enjoyed the white beach. They enjoyed the swimming,snorkling and just hanging around the beach all day. I would like to say thank you to Manuel and Helen who brought us from Bacolod to Sipalay. It's a long drive but it's worth it.. Sipalay will see you again on our next vacation. Gil

Im Totax Perfecio borned in Sipalay Mine... after the Mine closed i shifted here in Carmen Copper Corporation formerly Atlas Mining but i missed my hometown Sipalay esp.my amiga there ..

Guest		10-Jul-2009 15:45
Wow! beautiful various comments but what Id like most is the one who mentioned about "God in the beauty of Sipalay," or let me say it in my own words "Sipalay in the hands of God." Now adays Sipalay is well-known simply because of the white sand-beaches which replaced the lagacy of the Copper mine...what ever might change after the popularity of Sipalay's beaches the Lord's hand will be there and the most is His presence...But what makes me sad people like to visit or go there because of created things, beauty, nature or what ever rather than the presence of the Mighty Creator... "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of God stands forever (Isaiah 40: 8)"

jake		18-Jun-2009 13:11
I was born and raise in Brgy. Maricalum Sipalay City. I really love this place, fresh air, nice view wonderfull beaches and hospitable sipalaynon. I can bareley witness that this place was preserve by GOD to bring relaxing moment to the people. Guys, you need to visit this place as you can witness the goodness and hidden beauty of SIPALAY. Don't miss the chance, go now and make your own journey towards the greatness of Gods creation.

Ben		27-May-2009 17:44
Still Sipalay is the best, I grew up in Sipalay Mine now I'm here in Connecticut, peps please promote our place as a tourist destination someday it will be great. I was there last June 2008, nice beaches. Encourage also everyone (people who are working abroad) to invest in anything specially in land property or housing as a vacation place. We can help the Sipalaynon improve their lives too. Someday we can promote a homecoming supported by OFW and Immigrats from diff countries. +1-203-3001381

Jerry From California, to answer your question, The beach is on the city proper. Actually 90% of the pictures you see all over the internet of Sipalay are on the beach (city proper) You will also see in many pictures, the city proper beach connected to a long strip of beach probably over an hour walk. You can take a boat driven by the locals for a couple dollars all the way down to the end (Langub Beach Resort). Along the strip are a dozen beach resorts. Very very reasonable (maybe ten dollars a night with AC) The area is very beautiful and it's not commercialized whatso ever which makes it so relaxing. Now you can drive a car from Sipalay City Proper just less than 30 minutes to the other side of Sipalay which has white sand beaches but much larger resorts some with swimming pools. They also have a couple-three diving resorts there. Sipalay has over 50 dive areas that they can take you to. Sunken ships, beautiful coral and very very colorful and unique fish. It is a hidden treasure as I read in one of the comments. And even the resorts on the white beach side are very reasonable and the townspeople are so nice and friendly. Very welcoming community. I hope this helps answer your questions. God Bless
