Visiting Piagao Island at Nueva Valencia, Guimaras for an eco-camp last weekend — the heat when we first arrived was overwhelming. I was so grateful as the hotness of the day began to recede alongside the sun and tide; and smiled the next morning at the sleeping holes bored into the sand by the island dogs. I too wanted one of those holes.
