Stories of a Life by the Sea
Welcome to Stories of a Life by the Sea
My name is Emmanuel “Noe” Lineses. For many years, I served in public office, driven by a passion to uplift my community and promote the beauty and heritage of Puerto Galera. Politics gave me a voice—but it is in stepping away from public life that I have found the space to rediscover my own.
This personal website is a quiet place where I now share reflections, memories, stories, and ideas that matter to me. As I focus on growing my travel and tourism business, I also embrace a simpler, more private life surrounded by family and loved ones. Every post here is a window into my world—written not just to preserve moments, but to find peace, meaning, and joy in them.
This is my way of staying connected—not just with others, but with myself. Thank you for visiting. I hope that in these pages, you’ll find something that speaks to your own journey too.
