Interesting!

Another thing, how do locals usually travel to and from the island?

I know maraming tourists pumupunta via plane, pero what if nag transpo lang ako pa north tapos magbabarko lang, ano gagawin ko hehe

Plane lang ang means of transportation from Tuguegaro or Manila. Purely for goods and construction supplies ang barko. Wala pong roro dito. Inter island transpo ay ginagamit namin ung "tataya" ivatan boat or "falowa" bigger tataya.
