Because of this website it was possible for me to order the books about our beautiful home town."The making of the Ivatans(Cultural History of Batanes), tri-language dictionary, and Taming of the Wind by Dr. F. Hornedo. Thank you to all of you who made this website possible for everybody especially to the ones are far away from home, like myself and the Ivatans elsewhere in the world to get updated to what's going on back in Batanes.
