[@cherrysakura2760]

I miss my childhood days in Ph , No gadgets. We play ,riding on palapa the coconut leaves😅, kids are creative , we make bubbles out of hibiscus plants mix with laudry soap 😅 & make those rings fr grass😅 , our umbrella, wr just chop banna leaves or d big taro leaves 😅 Happy times. I miss those bats & birds every 5 pm sunset .. our sky are full of birds they migrate somewhere & fly in the sky every sunset time , ....& we are used to any color of butterflies, Dragon flies in the 80' s in PH .. ground has no concrete then , we are used to grasshoppers hopping, etc ...I miss those days !

[@elmira6672]

Happy you like the place❤❤❤

[@alvinustare5176]

try to eat coconut crab in battens it's really delicious and one of the best food in battens and try also to visit the islands of itbayat and santang it's really amazing..but going to itbayat island is very challenging but before you there ask first the locals for a brief orientation about that island... bye enjoy your staying in batanes

This was filmed years ago before he met Grey. But one of my favorite videos that he reposted. Can’t believe this place exists in the PI. Definitely want to visit one day.

You really don’t have to be monied to be happy. Sometimes the simple things in life make us happier.

Gonna need a wide angle lens to take this in....

[@nixolochenkov9830]

15:42 The fence or Gate is there to prevent the wild cows from going far from the Marlboro Hills. You just open it to get through and close it.. There will be another gate on the other end of the Pasture Land. Nextime, when you come back, I suggest you explore the Island of Itbayat, In the months of April - June. Hike Mt. Riposed, Rapang Cliff, Mauyen Cliff, Mt. Carobooban, and do Cliff Jumping with the locals at Paganaman Port.. Rapang Cliff has Crazy Amazing landscape views, It feels like you're in a Fantasy World. I created a video before wearing Lord of the Rings Costume while passing in a small valley that looks exactly like Helms Deep..

[@bilditmuzzi]

the place in PH that is prone to typhoon. and it is truly astonishing!👍 what if it will be developed?

[@joephoenix1815]

[@khrizzcharvi9778]

Is the internet in Batanes reliable, planning to stay there for a month, I’m currently wfh and can work anywhere as long as the internet is stable and reliable, that would be great

[@mdeelyn2002]

the baka scene was😂😅 super funny . did it chase you?

[@soundcast-m2q]

positives- spectacular views, great for disconnecting from civilization, cheap negatives- no fine or white sand beach(rocky), no good internet signal, no supermarkets or malls basically good for very short term stay, but long term no for me at least.
