Batad's Driver and Guide (plus Porter) May 23, 2009
If you are going to Batad, things would be a little uncomfortable and people in Banaue would try to rip you off with their Jeep/transpo services. Either you go to the Tourist Information Center and ask for the approved rate (which would eat extra time).
I would like to recommend our driver and guide (cum porter). Denwil Batangog - Certified Tour Guide/Professional Driver. His phone number - +63 918 436 9055 or +63 928 332 0721. Email address: denwil123@yahoo.com; www.denwil.multiply.com He was recommended by Hillside to me, and we just talked via SMS. With no reservation paid, he was at the bus station waiting for us when we arrived. He talked passable English and knows good places to eat and places to see - like a mummy. I think his rate is just the normal rate in Banaue/Batad route. His van is comfortable too. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For our last trip, I asked Denwil to bring us to Bangaan, Hungduan, Hapao and he brought us there with free trip to Ducligan. Also, we cooked our dinner, took care of us during our camping in ethnic village and he even brought us to his house to meet his family. I like this guy a lot! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Raffy Addug - Batad Guide/Porter. His phone number is +63 928 951 6577. He was recommended by Denwil. At first I was hesitant to get a guide, but since my sister and Steph wanted a porter, so he got him for a porter. Then, he established good rapport among us, then we got him for a guide in Batad.

Yes, it was my second time to see this place. I had nothing but special thoughts about this remote Ifugao village where a cluster of the most impressive rice terraces is located. I had been planning to go back here since last year, and knowing that …… Loving Batad Even More |

After we had to say no to the nice guy from the G.H that end up also as a guide, we start walking from Banaue to Batad. It's about 10 KM walking on the road, and we could get a ride, but preferred to walk. Then there is a nice path leaving the road …… So this is where they grow rice |
