Batad Rice Terraces
IT was the breathtaking view of the rice terraces from my bedroom window that captivated me during my first solo backpacking adventure to Batad. I remember how busy that year was, finishing a project that required me to work even on weekends to meet the launch date. When the product was finally launched a few weeks before Christmas, I looked for air, bus, or ferry tickets to take me somewhere I could finally relax, but they were all sold out. The only available option was a bus ticket to Banaue, leaving on the evening of Christmas Day.
