I’ve been to Batanes last August and it’s the most amazing place i’ve been to here in our country.
The rugged terrains, the rolling hills, the crashing waves, winding roads, howling winds, good hearted people, i can go on and on…

i’m going back there in a few days!

Dios Mamajes!

batanes is the best place on earth. and the ivatan people are just awesome. i fell in love with batanes the first time i went there. marites is right. it’s a time-warped place. could be the philippines in the 18th century. still pure. i’ve been there three times and counting. =)

[...] food choices being offered here in Manila. While inside the Seair Cabin bound for Manila, I asked Nina if we can drop by Trinoma to have some coffee, good thing she immediately said [...]

going to batanes is on top the list of what i want to do next year.. airfare is quite expensive that you would want to spend it somewhere else. but yeah, you’re right being not so accessible is what that keeps batanes have its its culture reserve closer to its roots, have its awesome beauty untouched by human development. i would rather have this islands as it is, not so accessible, to give those whos thirst for adventure the real adventure and give the worth of its expensive trip. backpackers… byahe na!!

Conquered Batanes April 2004 the island hop from Batan island to Sabtang was quite an adventure, your in between big waves of South China sea and Pacific ocean. The Ivatan people were very friendly living on islands of such natural beauty and simplicity.
Enjoy your stay. Hpe to go there again and conquered Itbayat.
Also in Batanes, the hills are alive with the sound of music.

Gosh! the very question that a friend asked me..at that time, she made me feel like i was going to Mars! Anyway, I would rather go to Batanes than Singapore or HK (they are not that bad, but I would love to return to Batanes more).

Anway, my answer to your question..because Batanes will give you the glimpse of a Philippines when it was not yet overtaken by malls, garbage, holdups, traffic, internet, cellphone-crazy Pinoys. In Batanes, you can see how we were, probably, centuries ago, it is like going back in time when most Pinoys are more honest (there’s the HOnesty store there), when beaches are pristine and not overtaken by tourists, when you can smell the pure air without the smog. The place has a raw beauty, call it wild but I just love it. For a Pinoy, it is a must-see. I just wish HK and Singapore, should be the 3rd or the last must-see of Pinoys now hehehehe! Want pics? just click on my name for the link and i have more posts, just search my blog. cya

Hehehe, di siya contest. It was just a pre-post… I’m currently in Batanes!

Haaaay, ang weather grabe. It was hot and sunny when we arrived. It was overcast the following morning, then it started raining and the wind was blowing so hard yesterday afternoon. It’s still raining today. Haaay. Sana di ma-cancel ang flight back to Manila tomorrow!

i also wanted to go to batanes that’s one of the dream destinations. my reason of going there is to see the beautiful hilly views and the people. im also interested with the culture of living in isolated islands like batanes. we explored mini batanes which is the island of capones. we like the island of capones, what more with batanes.

Nin, i am already booked with Batanes for Feb next year! Hoping for Good weather i’ll be joining a photo safari with Mandy Navasero….

Why I want to go there? First and foremost, It’s paradise they say, it’s dubbed as the scotland of the Philippines. Secondly, I’ve not read/heard anyone who’s been there that said otherwise.

Never mind the gastos, once in your lifetime, you ought to experience paradise. hehe
