➤ Estimated Budget for our 6 nights is around ₱7k-10k. Dedepende ang gastos sa accomodation at food. ➤ Umaabot ng ₱450 ang gastos ko sa food (₱150 breakfast, lunch, dinner) ➤ Food might be pricey for you but consider the food being imported/cost of transpo. ➤ Pwede mag paluto sa SPIR (I can't remember pero parang ₱300) ➤ Pwede magluto, just bring utensils or pwede manghiram pero isipin naten na ginagamit din nila yung tools to serve other guest. ➤ Kung mahilig ka tumagay, wag mo palagpasin ang lambanog

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Byahe TIPS: ✓ Bus is the most comfortable mode of transpo. We had a bad experience sa van pabalik ng manila. ✓ 24 Hours na ang kuryente sa isla. Bring a powerbank, may oras na may power surge lalo sa gabi (Happened twice) ✓ Mobile Data: 4G/LTE for Globe and Smart sa Bayan. Other places would have on/off connections. SPIR would have a good 13mbps download by 2pm then Edge connection by 6pm, sometimes none. ✓ Bring snacks para sa long boat travel ✓ Always bring bottled water ✓ Sunblock is a MUST ✓ Bring insect repellant ✓ Bring basic meds (Anti-histamine, Paracetamol, Bonamine, etc) ✓ Cash is the primary payment method in the Island. May ATM sa bayan pero yung 3k na winidraw ko inabot ng 80 pesos ang total charge. ✓ Few people accept GCash ✓ Tell the cook if you have allergy on food ✓ Take a bus going back to Manila. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Van would cost you ₱500. From Jomalig, we arrived at Ungos port around 2PM. You will be approached by van drivers. I recommend you to take a tricycle going to 7-Eleven and wait for Raymond Bus by 4pm. You may have your late lunch while waiting for bus. Travel date: June 26 - July 2, 2022
