[@cocarol5478]

Hello MG Flores I just watched your vlog no skip ads😊and I loved how you travel by yourself . Were planning to visit bantayan , can you advice us which is the best month to visit when the sea is calm ? Is the wave current in kota beach strong for children to swim? Thank you

[@MGFlores]

Hello :) thank you for watching. I appreciate it a lot! ❤ Summer is the best season for you to go there po tho it's gonna be so hot but the beach looks beautiful, perfect time for swimming 😃 !! Safe din po sa kids basta hindi lang po malaki and harsh yung waves and huwag lang sa malalim hehe Not around Ber months cos it tends to be rainy and beach wouldnt always be good. Just like any other beaches, If it's not windy, less to no waves po sa Kota. Kota beach has a sand bar too and would mostly be present during summertime. In my vlog, it was windy and at times gloomy as you can see cos I went there last October. I didnt even see the sand bar sa Kota ☹ Pero note lang po na there will be a lot of people during summertime so if ever you wanna go there with less tourists, go on a weekday on June-November, Jan-March hehe okay lang din naman during these months but we need to check the weather before going there lang talaga to avoid bad weather condition 😊 hope this helps!

[@cocarol5478]

@@MGFlores i appreciated so much your advice we will be keep on waiting for your new blog 😊

[@credmaxxx]

Come back to bantayan this October and would love to have a drink with you at the cou cou bar😃

[@MGFlores]

Go lang jud! Kaya ra na hehe kulba siya so be careful lang jud and dapat alerto bente kwatro jud. If mag bike ka kay dili raman ka masaag, pag ask lang sa mga taw or google maps. nya ayaw pud pagabie mag bike especially if adto ka padung the The Ruins kay mejo mingawon ang area. I hope you enjoy your first solo travel next year!!! :) :)

Hi mg! Nice vlog!!! ❤️ Will be in bantayan next week! May I know how much did you pay for island hopping? 🙂

[@MGFlores]

Hello :) I only went to Virgin Island. The boat that we had was P1,200 good for 6 persons but 4 lang kami so P300 each + entrance fee sa Virgin Island is P200. Enjoy your stay in Bantayan Island!

[@divingyogini]

Hello po ask ko lang if possible kaya makapag work From Jan sa bantayan island ? Malakas din ba ang internet connection? Thank you for ideas . I'm planning to visit Cebu this April. It's my first time and I am solo traveler

[@MGFlores]

Hi Diving Yogini. Yes, okay lang naman ang internet. and accommodations mostly have internet connection which is stable din naman so yes you can do your work from there :)

[@TheNextGeneration__]

Hi 😊 ask ko lang need ba license pag nag rent ng motorcycle? haha sorry sa question. Btw, love your content, best Bantayan vlog i've watched so far. Yung iba puro arte 😁

[@MGFlores]

hello Bhalarie 😊 as of last time, wala raman nangita ug license if mag rent pero naa mga traffic enforcers sa santa fe especially sa kadto naay one way. E familiar lang asa ang mga one way para dili mu maparahan sa mga enforcers hihi :> have a safe and fun trip soon sa inyo laag sa Bantayan && thank you for watching!! I appreciate it 💙💙

Quality!

[@MGFlores]

thank you :)

[@maryjoycose2908]

Where do you rent the bike? :)

[@MGFlores]

Hello :) just around the area. you can always see houses with their tarpaulin "bike for rent" or "motorcycle for rent" or both :)

[@allandavealfeche8669]

More like this please 💕💚✌🏻

[@MGFlores]

Pakuyyyy ❤️ yieee try try :) thank you!

[@lilithyus128]

Hi. Is it possible to rent a bike to explore the island instead of motorcycle? 😅

[@MGFlores]

Hello ☺️ You can bike places near your accommodation for example in Sante Fe, you can bike to Kota Beach, MJ Square, Ogtong Cave, and The Ruins. Ogtong ang The Ruins would probably take you 10-15 mins bike ride. (I went to the Ruins with a bike 😁) Mangrove Garden (camp sawi) , Paradise and Sandira Beach are kinda far from Santa Fe too. But if you plan on going to Bantayan and Madridejos, you probably should rent a motorcycle cos it’s far from Sante Fe. There are local motorcycle drivers available that can send you to places but the fare is kinda pricey 😬

[@maryleephillinecamello670]

maka suya mn oooyyyy

[@MGFlores]

sige na crabby. push mo na yan. #soulsearching aw? haha

[@kobemamba2456]

Ano po name nang place nang pinag stayan mo on your first day?

[@MGFlores]

Hello. I stayed at Marino Bungalows. I booked through booking.com . You can look for more options in agoda, or airbnb, booking.com etc :)

[@kobemamba2456]

thank you :)

[@jonahvenancio9912]

[@mojojojai8716]

Hi Ms MJ, what places in Bantayan would you recommend for a 2 day trip????

[@MGFlores]

Hello. You can absolutely go to all of these places for 2 days!! if you arrive earlier at Sta.Fe, you can go to Paradise Beach, Sandira, Omagieca (camp sawi), and the Ruins for sunset (or Omagieca) a good way to end the day 🙂 On your second day, Kota Beach for sunrise, Ogtong Cave, Kota Park, and others na dayon.

[@breatherfly4722]

Pila ang 3 days nila sa accommodation Miss?

[@MGFlores]

hello. depende rasad sa imo accommodation. As for me, 3000 to for 3 nights. I stayed at Marino Bungalows. Naa ray daghan ka stayhan ddto na mas barato sad.

Hello! May I know the location at 10:30, the plaza in Santa Fe? I dont know what to input sa maps hehe or may I know where it's near! Thank you

[@MGFlores]

Hello :) it is just along the highway, left side if you are going to Bantayan. Right side if you are going back to Santa Fe. Search for Santa Fe Municipal Hall in google maps. Or use this link :) goo.gl/maps/NBgS7RzoWJn1LEje6 hope this helps! 💙

Hello po! Super thanks for this :) planning to go to Bantayan. May I know lang po ano yung exact name ng place sa town proper ng may lantern? Yun na po yung mismong plaza nila or may other name pa po? Thank youuu

Hello :) Sa Sta. Fe po. Near lang po ng MJ Square yung may lantern. Katabi ng church lang din.

[@LizielBGozo]

Magkano po budget nyo ate nung nag travel ka?
