Australian National Clayton West killed in Puerto Galera

$5,000 Reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the killers of Australian Clayton West murdered in Puerto Galera

The relatives of a 52-year Australian national who was murdered in a beach resort here recently have sought the assistance of the Philippine government for the arrest of the suspects in the slaying.

Clayton West, an underwater videographer, was bludgeoned to death on his way home on board his electric bike by unidentified assailants at 1:30 a.m. on April 22 in sitio Kabilang Gulod, Bgy. Palangan, this resort town.

West, who has lived in Puerto Galera resident for 18 years, was returning home to Bgy. Palangan after spending the evening in nearby Bgy. Sabang, when he was brutally killed. The victim suffered two wounds at the back of his head.

He is survived by his Filipina wife and two children, ages 6 and 3.

The Puerto Galera police station has yet to come up with a progress or investigation report on the murder of West since his slaying.

Police Chief Marlon Cabatana said the “investigation is still ongoing as of today as there is no autopsy report yet.” The autopsy report will come from the PNP crime laboratory based at Camp Crame, national headquarters of the Philippine National Police in Quezon City, he said.

“We will inform you if there is a development in the case,” Cabatana told The Standard.

Puerto Galera Mayor Hubbert Christopher Dolor said the “municipal police station is really doing their best to follow whatever leads they have right now. The family (West) can be assured that justice will be served in due time.”

Rudy West, a brother-in-law of the slain videographer, said the family of Clayton in Australia has offered a cash reward of US$5,000 leading to the arrest and conviction of the killers.

Lalaguna Villas Resort in Sabang, Puerto Galera is an exotic beach resort resting along the lush green forest mountains of Mindoro that connect to a white sand, blue water beach. We offer a private villas-style atmosphere with charming Filipino hospitality that is within a short walk from the center of the lively town of Sabang, Puerto Galera, Philippines. There you can enjoy dining, nightlife, shopping and more. Enjoy World Class Diving and Luxury Accommodations.

Lalaguna Villas offers a superior standard of villas that suit the most discerning traveler with a variety of rooms ranging from our studio accommodations for the budget conscious up to our signature ‘Penthouse’ executive apartment. In April of 2015 we are ranked in the top 6 of resorts in Puerto Galera!

Most of our rooms feature ocean views of one the most renowned tropical diving areas in the world. All our rooms are equipped with the latest facilities and amenities that guests consider a nice confluence of the highest western standard luxuries with local Filipino charm and hospitality.

We are the newest luxury resort on the island. Formerly part of the highly regarded Out of the Blue resort, we set our sights on an even higher standard resort with a more accommodating staff and facilities but with the same great ocean views and private limited access location.

Lalaguna Villas does not use lumpy mattresses and sandpaper bath towels. Instead, we use 320 thread count linens made from pure cotton and each bed is made with four of the finest, dual-chamber pillows from Tencel. Each bathroom is equipped with two sets of plush towels, each set comprising a 720 gram bath sheet, along with a 480 gram bath towel and matching face and hand towels.

We stock all rooms with fifteen liter bottles of purified drinking water dispensers supplying instant hot or chilled water, and replenished as required. Lalaguna Villas water supply is consistent. Our guests won’t suffer from water problems common in many other resorts. All of our taps use water saving shower heads with the best water pressure on the beach.

Humankind cannot survive on water alone. They need food, free WiFi and reliable electric power. Our resort is fully WiFi capable throughout including common areas where you may want to lounge like the pool, bar or clubhouse. For power “brownouts” we have installed battery backups that will power the entire resort for at least twelve hours before we have to turn on the generator. What does that maean for you? Uninterrupted power, and quiet! You should never have to hear our generator during your stay.

Food, you say? Guests and visitors alike can order from our extensive menu prepared by top chefs of cooked-to-order meals, served in your room, on your terrace or poolside. Our kitchen is open 24/7 for your convenience.

In season, please reserve your table for our fantastic sunset happy hours at our CGrill Floating Restaurant and Bar. After happy hour, soothe your palate from a selection of gourmet, international and local dishes that you can pair with one of the largest wine collections in the area.

Bars in Sabang, Puerto Galera

List of Bars in Sabang, Puerto Galera

The intention was to list all the bars in Sabang, but it seems they change names too often to make it worthwhile creating a current list.

However, it seems that there are usually about 5 or 6 bars to choose from, all within a minute’s walk of each other, and all offering the chance to watch Filipina girls strutting on stage. Etc…

Sabang, Puerto Galera is ADULT oriented in the evening!!!

Buying Computers in Puerto Galera

I have learned something recently, and that is to be very careful when buying anything technical in Puerto Galera.

The prices are sky high when compared to buying in Luzon mainland.

I was quoted Php 550 for a Wireless USB Network Adapter.

On the mainland I can get a Wireless-N USB Network Adapter (150mbps) for just Php 280, with the cheaper ones at Php150.

I bought a WiFi router for Php 1,900

Tenda 150Mbps Model W316R – Price on mainland: Php 1,100 + 170 delivery = Php 1,270 delivered

I bought a Rise-Up UPS for 2,350 pesos.

Rise-Up Model XU-800VA 500 Watts – Price on mainland: Php 1,330 +  250 delivery = Php 1,580 delivered

This purchase was a total stuff up though.  The price seemed OK for what I asked for.

I was quoted Php 1,690 for the 600w UPS and Php 2,350 for the 800 watt UPS.  I ordered the larger one, the 800 watt unit.

I was given a 500 watt UPS !!!  Either the supplier conned me, or he does not know the difference between VA and Watts.  His business is computer technician, NOT retail, so I expected him to supply what I asked for.  When I asked for it to be changed over to the right unit, I got no more contact from him.

 

These people give the Philippines a bad reputation to foreigners.  I do wonder if they do the same to locals ?
