After visiting the Batad Rice Terraces and a van ride from Banaue, Ifugao we stopped by in Bontoc, Mountain Province to have lunch. After dining, Bibang said that she wanted to show me and Maki something but she told us to blindfold ourselves first.

At first I thought she was kidding but she was serious. But even if she was kidding Maki and I were both game for blindfolded adventures to make our trip really interesting.

While hoping that a rabid dog would not intersect with our path and Bibang, the girl we entrusted our lives with, would not leave us in the middle of the road, we crossed streets, stepped up a gutter, walked on inclined sidewalks and climbed stairs until Filipinos and foreigners talking. And when she finally commanded us to remove our blindfold what I saw was amazing. I’ve never ever have seen anything like it in my life. Everything was just blurred!!!

He explained that it was actually illegal to topload inside Poblacion, Bontoc. Luckily, there were many passengers who came down that we were able to go inside the jeepney.

The jeepney stopped and the driver instructed us to go down (again!) but this time because we were in front of the bus station going to Tabuk, Kalinga which will be passing by Banaue, Ifugao.

Asking around, the waiting passengers told us that we should buy tickets for Banaue in the ticketing office. Ticket costs 120 Pesos for Banaue.

Since it was illegal to topload inside Poblacion, Bontoc we luckily found the conductor of the bus (they don’t have uniforms) and he explained how we could do topload and not break the law.
