great photos i see. but someone told me it's very impossible for them there due to lack of job. I see it could be true from what i see, water everywhere. well, there's a job opening in AGIP, they're hiring across the globe for several positions and fields, sales, marketing, internet, engineering, science, health and many more, even work at home job. You can submit a resume at: agipoilcoy1@aol.com

In my younger age as a child, I lived in a modest & descent lifestyle of a place called home. Home that is not infected, contaminated & polluted of modern revolution of living. I'm so happy that BATANES is my "HOME of HERITAGE LIFESTYLE" were I can find satisfaction & contentment.

Ayan na nga ba sinasabi ko. Ang ganda ng Pilipinas. Kung hindi lang ako ang palaging tinutuligsa ng mga kalaban ko sa pulitika, eh di lalo sanang maganda ang Batanes. Eto din kasing mister ko palagi akong binubuwisit, kung anu-ano tuloy ang nagiging problema ko kaysa atupagin ko ang development ng turismo sa Pilipinas, puro huweteng tuloy napagtutuunan namin ng pansin. hay naku!

Batanes is one of the wonder in photography that our foreign tourist really admire and missed but it is more appreciated if were going to show some shots taken from "at air, at sea, at the peak of Mt Iraya and from adjacent island with peak mountain overlooking the nature and populated areas in it".

Dr. Maty Chupungco		11-Aug-2007 12:49
My 20 year old dream of visiting Batanes finally became a reality when I visited the island last 07/07/07. I will never ever forget Batanes... I simply love it...I hope I can share my own photos... Dr. Maty

Thanks for sharing these photos! Working on a weekend for the past 8 years is quite tiring and a 10-minute break to watch your awesome photos is really a relaxing treat --- it's like seeing earth and sky unite. I like the serenity of your Naidi Light House shot. Keep it up! Jeng Arabelo

Hi Bob, Just remember when you take your photos, the Creator of all you captured on your camera.. Isn't He just great? Surely He deserves more than what He's getting now. With your fabulous shots, maybe you could spread the message. God Bless, Nancy

Guest		02-Mar-2006 00:55
Hey Bobby! Your Batanes shots were super. I'm glad you had a great trip up there. At about that same week, I was having a great time also in Tucson and Quartzsite earlier. Picked up many new pieces of dino bone and poop and other fossils that you can produce gorgeous photos of. The Madagascar carnelians and agates will be quite wild. Will bring most of it back on the next trip, which has no scheduled date yet. Larry Gotuaco in SF on March 1 2006

Bailis		01-Mar-2006 14:44
Hi Bobby, These pictures are explosive. I really have the feeling of being there. The ocean and sky panoramas are what really stimulted my brain. Keep sending your work. Best, Bailis PS - Family is fine.
