Welcome to my series on Batanes. First in my series is "Honesty Coffee Shop" in Ivana, Batanes. The shop is unique in that there are no store clerks. All the merchandise at the shop is based on the honesty code. You pick an item, write down the date and what you purchased and drop the money in a box. Quite unique for this day and age but we could all learn something from this little shop. There is another store behind the main sari sari type store that has shirts etc. for sale. The same Honesty system is in place.
Batanes is the northernmost province in the Philippines. It is also the smallest in population and land mass. Batanes is situated between the northern tip of Luzon and Taiwan. It is actually closer to Taiwan than the Luzon mainland. Its capital is Basco on the island of Batan. There are a total of 6 municipalities that make up Batanes. Besides Basco, the municipalities
are Mahatao, Uyugan, Ivana, Sabtang and Itbayat. Sabtang and Itabayat are separate inhabited islands. The entire province is listed in the UNESCO tentative list for inscription in the World Heritage List. The land and surrounding waters are protected by the Philippines government. Batanes is an underrated dive destination so all divers should check out the province.
I will be bringing you most of Batan island as well as Sabtang island. I hope you enjoy my series of videos on Batanes. And yes don't get Batanes confused with Batangas that many people do. Totally different place,
