HERE are photos of her Batanes getaway sent in by reader Jasmin Rose Limbo, a finance and administration coordinator in a maritime company in Makati City.
Jasmin writes: “I love to travel the beautiful islands of our country because ‘nature tripping’ is one of my outlets.”
The photo above shows Mhel, Glad and Jasmin at the Honesty coffee shop.

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?

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.

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.
