Hi, is Ms. Elisa Castillo’s number a Batanes landline number or a cellphone number? If it’s the latter, I think it has one extra digit. Care to clarify? Thanks!
thank you for notifying me of the oversight. it’s been updated with the correct number.
wow i am planning to go to Batanes and Ivatan lodge is recommended to us by a dear friend…
you will love Batanes. Ivatan Lodge was a good choice for us, if you’re looking for a cheap but clean place to stay, it is a good choice. enjoy your trip!
Anyone here knows of any cheap way to Batanes? I’ve always been seeing flights to it which I find to be too expensive..
watch out for promos that Seair regularly gives away — Feb and Sept, for half the price during the Philippine Travel Tour Expo and the Philippine Travel Mart, and for various discounts year-round online. there’s a new airline (Sky Pasada) flying the Manila-Basco route, but it is still expensive.
Hello! I’ve hear of another airline company besides Skypasada.. Is it NorthStar? Or something else? Any new Airline companies? Thank you!
I am not aware of one aside from Sky Pasada & Cebu Pacific.. Sorry.
