Hi Jasmin,
thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures of your Batanes Island trip. Those scenery were special and it can only be seen in the Philippines. I hope I’ll be able to see them all on my next visit to the Philippines, maybe Feb. 2008.
Maraming Salamat Po!

My life won’t be complete until I step on the islands of Batanes. One of these coming days, I will. I’ve been to some farthest nook in RP like Palawan(3 times)Zamboanga,Cebu,etc. and I was born and grew up an hour away from Boracay, and I live in Florida and travelled the US coast-to-coast for many years but I need to visit Batanes. Thanks for the pixes and nice shots.

Hi there,
One word,” SPECTACULAR” ! How do you get there from Manila?

Hi Jasmin,
Beautiful Batanes is truly a place to be written into our itineraries on our next vacation before exploring the vastness of Philippine South. I hope to bring my wife and my kids there so we could have a taste of the “great tasting coconut crab”…..It’s easy for us to go there because we’re from Sta. Ana. Cagayan Valley. More Power!!!!

Hi Jasmin,
Nice pictures! I grew up in Isabela but now based in QC. I’ve been to a lot of beautiful places in the Philippines but mostly in the south of Luzon. It is my dream to visit Batanes someday. Thank you for sharing your pictures and experience. More power to you!

Wow! How I wish I can visit Batanes next time I have a long vacation. The place is superb and very relaxing. I think one of the best places in the country where I can relax and have a lot of fun!

Hi, ms jasmin, im john from cavite province.to tell your experiences by means of pictures was a great privilege to me and to my long hopes–that one day i will be able to visit the place the same as you visit it with gladness. as for me i considered that as a remarkable journey eventhough i was not able to view it in person. thanks ms. jasmin for the snap shots that you’ve shared.

Hi jasmin! are there any exotic food or specialties they have there in Batanes? Or better yet in the whole of Cagayan? Thanks!! I’m interested in running a story about it.

How much will I be spending for a 5 days stay there? I heard that it’s very expensive there. Are there affordable places to stay there considering the already expensive cost of food - maski daw noodles at saka coke mahal . Is there a PAL flight going there?
