the neglected twin of Batanes =)
after tossing every lousy situation(first part) at our way, this heck of an island was finally convinced that i am gatecrashing its party, no matter what, and that it will be useless to throw in more mishaps as my will can never be fazed. well, at least, not by dogs( all 10,000 of them), majinbo, or a 7-hour-life jacketless-sail.
tables had turn.
Babuyan is the bomb.
the hippest of locals,
sexiest seascapes,
rockin rock formations,
the sumptousEST of seafoods,
and badass beaches.
this island is, indeed, packed with a punch-a powerful Pacman punch.
5 years from now, Calayan island-part of Babuyan group of islands- will grace magazine covers and calendars. even those that are currently reigned by Sam Pinto or this blueberry panna cotta.
Sabang beach- it is that sexy, its sizzles.

The Castillejos in Batanes are also our relatives. The former gov. Engr. Telesporo Castillejos knows me and so is the former Mayor of Basco Constante(Dante) Castillejos. I’m not really sure if one of these is the father of Pam.
