There are billboards like this put up in practically every major intersection in Camarines Sur these days. It says "This is to inform the public that
Gota Village Resort and Hunongan Cove is fully booked from February 2012 until August 2012. The following islands:
Sabitang Laya, Tayak, Pitogo, Catanhawan, Inayun-ayunan, Matukad and Lahos, will also be inaccessible due to a special project from February 2012 until August 2012."

| no Gota beach either |
Survivor USA filming in Caramoan is an
open secret. We were supposed to spend the past Easter there with my
balikbayan relatives but this notice from the CamSur provincial government made us reconsider our plans.
I have asked my local contacts there and they said these "inaccessible" islands are open for tourists if there are no scheduled shooting that day, but we chose not to risk it. So we went to Aguirangan aka Rose Islet in Presentacion instead. I would have loved to explore more of Caramoan this summer, but Survivor USA will introduce it to even more people, so no complaints here.
