PIAPE UPDATE                            

 

Almost everyone born and raised in this municipality had a share of fond memories of Piape. It was one of those juvenile moments when we defied our parents in pursuit of adventure and fun. The pleasure of frolicking and swimming in the beach and enjoying the once rustic ambience of the barangay was worth all the risks. Getting there by bicycle made the adrenaline came rushing as it was by then our primal taste for speed and control. A day usually ended besetting with fear from fuming parents as the assigned daily chores were still left undone. The castigation were often embraced without trepidation because the repercussion was nothing comparable to the pleasure and the thrill the day made.

Piape has now 3 major establishments that cater to its beach clienteles. Huts can be rented from Php 50-300/day. If one is fond with the Karaoke, be ready with your 2 peso coin for a song or bring a bag full of coins so you can sing your heart out. Weekends are the busiest with people coming from as far as Kidapawan.

Today, Piape is the most populated barangay in the municipality with some alterations of the land and seascape of yore. The relentless decimation the lush mangroves in favor of fish ponds has left the once pristine scenery a bane to the ocular sense. The local government's initiative in replanting mangroves in Bgy. San Isidro is a constructive effort but without the community's own initiative and participation, it will be one of those noble paper projects on the shelves.
