Batanes on my mind

Batanes on my mind
Elynor Anne M. Matencio

I wanted to go to Batanes because I've heard so many good things about this place, I don't think it's real. They say there's an Honesty shop where you can go ahead and help yourself without anyone watching, you pay through a coin box. They say there's absolutely zero crime rate and that no one steals your bike when you leave it outside. They say it's like Ireland with just sea, sky and mountain slopes. They say it even has four seasons. It sounds too good to be true.

My fascination with native culture, language and food started when I was young. I have traveled in quite a number of provinces and each one is unique. The Ivatans physically weather the storms. I would like to get to know these people who are so tuned to nature. I might learn a thing or two.

I have seen the movie, surfed many blogs by famous people and read numerous articles of Batanes and I think I'm going insane if I don't go. That is the reason why I'm entering this contest and to make sure that Batanes is not a mythical place in the country.
