  I agree with Suyen. Chorva, if you cannot write an intelligent comment, please do not write anything. In fact, you should learn how to appreciate your country, places like Fuga. It seems that the only knowlege you have is the word "puga", a colloquial tagalog term for escaped convicts.

  I think the government of the Philippines must develop these islands for it to be productive rather than wasting money, giving money to euro generals and fertilizer scams, and corruption. Its so sad the government is doing nothing to improve the Philippines! what a shame!!!

  We are related to the chines Although the last of the land bridges sank into the ocean 5,000 years ago, it is surmised that one of them extended westward through the Palawan Islands to Borneo and Indo-China. A lesser known northern land bridge (the peaks of which are Fuga and the Babuyan Islands) once connected North Luzon and the northern islands with Taiwan. Mr. Duck Kim, a Korean-born environmental scientist (and editor of the new Fuga documentary film) has topographical evidence of the northern land bridge. Kim's underwater maps reveal a submerged mountain-like ridge that links Fuga and the Babuyans and Batanes Islands with Taiwan and mainland China. Corroborating the northern land bridge, Professor Zenaida Uy, a renowned Filipina anthropologist who travelled across North America on an international speaking tour professes: "The Philippines was originally peopled by early tribes from Siberia and China who migrated down over a land bridge that once connected China and Taiwan with the Philippines. And when they made their long journey south, they brought their dead ancestors with them in big clay jars."

  The Elders say Fuga is blessed with a network of underground caves. The caves are considered sacred. While exploring one of the caves, Garnier discovered a dusty but magnificent clay jar approximately eight-inches wide. The ornate markings prove the jar was incised while still wet. To learn more about the mysterious treasures, Garnier consulted several archaeologists as well as a Chinese scholar familiar with the jars of the dynasties. After studying Garnier's video of the small ornate jar, Dr. Liu deemed it "an early Chinese ceremonial jar". Garnier also contacted anthropologist Zenaida Uy and told her some of the details about the ancestor jars he found on Fuga. When Garnier told Uy that Fuga was in the northernmost tip of the Philippines, the excited professor said: "Wow! You may have found the missing link in the land bridge. You must have been guided by God!" Archaeologist Rey Santiago of the National Museum in Manila told Garnier, "The early people designated certain islands as cemeteries." Archaeologists from various South East Asian countries confer that the burial jars "point to the origins of life." Reviewing his eight-year study of Fuga and its mysterious jars, Garnier concludes: "The early people of this region chose inspirationally beautiful islands as eternal homes for the dead."

  Amen to that Tim. Unfortunately, politicians in my hometown are more focused on something else, their own welfare and how to fatten their pockets. Growing up in Aparri, heard a lot of interesting stories about this island including dreams of few people to convert it into a vacation and/or tourists destination. Many years have passed, but it remained a stagnant place. I can only wish that the ouside world will help and develop this island for its historical value.
