Visiting the Philippines Closest Town to Taiwan

Approximately 153 kilometers or nautical miles to the south of Taiwan. We are closer to Taiwan than to the Chinese mainland. Located far to the southeast of the Philippines, the town lies over a hundred kilometers away. from the mainland of Taiwan. Only Bangka and small airplanes can be boarded. It's not that easy for most people to reach that place. You see that roof? The wind blew it away. The wind is so strong here. That's what we're saying—every day, every minute, there's a challenge here. In addition to blocking views, the unusual plants are also striking. Rarely any sea and shops with not a single guard. What's the name of this port? Sinapuliran Port. He was dubbed the most dangerous port. Before reaching the province, we traveled for several days using a pickup truck. Rode on the boat, rode on this kind of airplane, and on a smaller airplane as well. We will also spend several days traveling around the islands. Here, at the edge of Pampanga, our day begins. Tara, let's go! As you can see here, there are so many vehicles parked. Some of them are overnight parking here, the owners aren't here. The plane is flying, heading there to another destination. You may notice that some vehicles have covers. This is the first time we're flying out from here at Clark Airport. The first time the public has been able to see the facilities the airport has. Even as we just entered, the check-in counters of various airlines immediately greeted us. The well-organized system is noticeable, with hardly any queues. We had already entered the boarding gate within just a few minutes. where we will exit to go to the airplane. The airplane we're going to ride in or have ridden in is somewhat small. At each seat, as you can see, there are only two on each side. So let's sit by the window so we can see just how beautiful the view is from up in Batanes. From here in Pampanga, we will fly for one and a half hours to the province of Batanes. Unlike such airplanes of Philippine Airlines departing from Clark Airport, Today's flight of Sky Pasada's aircraft bound for Basco, flight 2G, is delayed. As we approached the islands belonging to Batanes, It is noticeable how quickly the weather is changing. It was calm and extremely hot at the place where we took off earlier. Similarly, we felt the airplane shaking. thick clouds and strong gusts of wind. That is precisely why it is Basco Airport. the most challenging airports for Philippine Airlines. The wind here, touchdown, Batanes. So, that's how smooth our landing was because of the strength of the wind blowing. If the weather is that hot in Luzon or on mainland Luzon, It took another one and a half hours to get to Batanes province. This is the current tide here because of the strong northeast monsoon. Is this really how the tricycles are here? So, these are the ones picking up the tourists. It was still being used for... So, the usual travelers here in Basco, That's what is being used. But if tourists suddenly start arriving Oh, the tour here in Basco, Ayan, these are the ones they're using. A comedy spanning nearly 5,000 hectares, Basco serves as the center. the most remote place in the province of Batanes. Hotels are located in the center of town. Kainan, bank, convenience store, large government office Hospital, airport to become concrete harbors. Good morning, po. Good morning. What's your word here? Ibatan. There are Ilocanos here, What are you talking about, anyway? Tagalog, sure, that's fine. The concrete roads are also noticeable. It connects to the towns located at the southernmost tip of the island. I really feel this here, the ordinary houses or nipa huts, the one we'll be able to put to sleep. I thought there wasn't a hotel like that here. There is no such accommodation like this. I was stunned, it's this beautiful already, One of the accommodations here in Basco. The weather is bad throughout Batanes. That's why we decided to spend the night first. before crossing over to the remote town in the province. Look at how strong the wind is here. Even though the weather is like this, We must continue our journey. Because our time here is limited. So we must complete our mission. Be it a man, bright, or gloomy, whether or not. So negative, the boat, No one was traveling due to the strength of the waves. Only an airplane, The place we can reach, let's head there. While waiting for our flight time, That's right, and it's also fair. One of our friends just came back from Itbayat. Hey! Hello? I'm telling you, no matter where we go, we'll find it. We will see it at the bottom. How's the weather there? Okay, but just for a little while. Just hanging around alone. Go back there first. Alright, okay. Okay, we're on the same page. How was the flight? Somewhat annoying, but hopefully the pilot. Sure, sure. Remember, remember. Let's go. So after nearly an hour of waiting, Hey, we're about to board this airplane. Aerospeed's such aircraft Flightline at Sky Passada The sight of flying toward Itbayat Island. This can carry 6 to 8 passengers. at least 4,000 for the fare a one-way ticket. Compared to a 2.5-hour sea journey, It takes only 10 minutes to fly here. within a few minutes You will also see it such beautiful views. Similarly, after unloading to carry passengers, He will come back too. So this is the airplane. Going there to Basko. The vibe here is different. Compared to the Basque Country, The smaller one is conspicuous. at most a few people Same here at Itbayat Airport. Alas 10 pa lang ng umaga but the last trip was the one we rode earlier See you again tomorrow the new journey Basko's origin Going there to Itbayat. Because there was hardly any tall building There are no tall mountains, I can see you, I can see us that distant part Oh, this one's Itbayat. So Tara, let's stop by first despite this island. There are even more goats. compared to the number the residents living there Here on the island. It's just a few minutes' ride Going to the town center, I noticed it feels like we're the only ones passing along the length on the road. So despite this Beautiful road, We noticed that it's as if we're the only ones The one passing by here on the path. The ones we encounter if there is any such thing as a wedding, Only the locals, too Same here, in this place. Our journey back was also quite something. on the street, the scenes what is often seen on this part of the island. It's one of the most talked-about things here. those kinds of fools as is usual for those from here. Due to our desire Look at the place, even before reaching it the heart of the town a moon named Sydya the harbor of Chinapuliran. What's the name of this port? Chinapuliran Port Our old commercial port here, He was granted it. most dangerous port Data, it is used toward those boats for passengers Great job, Basko. Unlike Doon sa Bago, lowering the boat directly on the truck, Likewise, it is still being carried by Pushcart won't go up. That kind of sharpness What kind of pushcart are you talking about? He's being pulled by the truck up there. Then it gets loaded there. We don't have good weather right now. but you will see, The wave crashed. One of the reasons why At a time like this, This door is really heavy. No one human, No boats. The one docking is the barko, because whenever the weather is calm This dock is being used. Located between Philippine Sea South China Sea Balintang and Base Channel, The islands belonging to Batanes. 6 to 10 islands of the province in the part of Itbayat, where it appears closer the mainland of Taiwan compared to mainland Busan. Because there was no longer any obstacle same in the northern part of Itbayat, So, what's the wind like? Coming to us. Besides the strength of the wind, It's also chilly here where the baby is crying. For us who are in the higher part Bingget, Mountain Province because of the cold temperature here. We are not getting any closer to Taiwan. compared to the mainland of Busan? So your products here, Where are you from? Those commercial products from the mainland. Can you travel to Itbayat? Is Taiwan a straight line? No, sir. The joke hit me hard. hectares largest among the three inhabited island of Batanes, the island of Itbayat. Located at the center of the island the concentration of the population, which can also be noticed in the cluster I washed the clothes at home. Even though there are so many residents compared to the town of Basque. It can be seen in the center of the town the Samutsaring market, gas station, Hospital, hotel city hall plaza, such schools. 24/7 electricity, may supply water The internet signal is really strong. Besides the usual telecasts, There were also scattered across the rooftops of houses These kinds of dishes from Starlink. Life in Itbayat is somewhat difficult. especially during the winter season Since trips are rare, There's time to eat. because the prime commodities are rice is from the mainland so because of the way it turned out The weight reaches there. Although may farming and fishing, but they can't fish either If our weather is like this, The weather here is terrible. Besides fishing, This is their main source of livelihood. That's the garlic planting. While we were touring on the far side of the island, We passed by some of them The busy residents harvesting. So the many who are really here are This botanical red It's a botanical white. They say there are many varieties here. in Taiwan, Other types of garlic But there are even more of these kinds. Like the island of Batan where the Basque can be seen. Today's beautiful attractions The view of Itbayat Island.
