IN PHOTOS || CULION: Transforming the ”Island of the Living Dead" to the "Island of Hope"

In the Calamian Archipelago, Culion is a treasure with a sad but motivating past. Previously recognized as the largest leprosarium all over the world, the municipality functioned as a sanctuary for individuals suffering from leprosy throughout the American colonial era.

But right now, the island is no longer defined by its past. Instead, it has emerged as a symbol of hope and healing. Visitors can explore the Culion Museum and Archives, which tell the compelling story of the island's unique history, showcasing medical equipment, photographs, and documents that chronicle the fight against leprosy. The remnants of its historical buildings, such as the La Immaculada Concepcion Church and the old hospital, stand as silent witnesses to its past.

See these images taken by Paul Rob Cunanan and understand why Culion is more than simply a location; it's a trip across time where history and natural beauty entwine to provide a singular and unforgettable encounter. Culion is a place you should not miss regardless of your interests—history, the outdoors, or travel seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences.
