But like Oman said, it's experiences like this that make a trip unforgettable. Being travelers in a place we are bound to respect the local customs. I hate it when tourists don't get it or when they act like the noisy, brash city-folks that they are in quiet places like Batad. I also spent a few days in Batad and did some hiking to Cambulo but I would never try it without a guide. Parang madaling mawala sa trail. Altho I did walk from batad junction to the village alone. Ang hirap for a chain-smoker like me hahahha. The photo of that meeting with the elders look familiar. Mukhang it's the same house where I stayed. I believe the owner was the ex-kapitana so she must have been the village kapitana during your visit.
