Ivan About Town and the SEAIR Adventure Club is giving away two round-trip SEAIR tickets from Manila to Basco, Batanes. All you have to do is leave a comment in SEAIR flies to Batanes telling us why you love Batanes by Sunday, 20 April 2008 at 8:00 p.m.
Make sure you place your full name in the name field since you will need a valid ID to claim the tickets if you win. The winner will be drawn at random and will be notified by e-mail so make sure you double check your e-mail address before submitting your comment. Finally, one entry per IP address so only the first entry from each IP address will be counted. Tickets will be valid from now until 15 October 2008. Good luck!
Update: We have a winner! Make that two winners! Our Batanes ticket raffle got 396 comments posted before the 8 p.m. deadline last Sunday, April 20, 2008. Members of the SEAIR Adventure Club met Tuesday to draw the winning comment. To do this, each comment was numbered 001 to 396. The draw was done lotto style. Three piles of numbers were made, the first pile had the numbers 0 to 3, while the second and third pile had the numbers 0 to 9. And the winning number is 190 which is the comment of William Gilbert Agravante. Congratulations, you just won two round-trip SEAIR tickets to Batanes!
But since we enjoyed reading your comments, we've decided to give one round-trip ticket to the best comment with the word "SEAIR" in it. And that comment belongs to Dorcas Juliette Ramos. Congratulations on your graduation! You win one round-trip ticket to Batanes! To both our winners, please wait for the notification e-mail on how to claim your tickets. And to all those who joined, don't fret since we have another one! So watch out for it.

ReplyDeletehaha! oo nga... pa-delete na lang, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love Batanes because of all its mystery -- of my love / my quest for the unknown. I'd love to go to Batanes because i've never been there, my task is to go to all places in the Philippines I've never been to, before I die. :)

ReplyDeletei wanted to explore Batanes, becuase i believe its one of the proudly pinoy & awesome places here in the Philippines. Tangkilin muna ang sariling bayan before exploring other countries.

ReplyDeleteOnce i went to batanes for official travel sometime i worked in the government which i stayed for 12 days prior to christmas day of 2001, i love Batanes simply because of its natural habitat, i did enjoy my stay there at batanes hotel that sits beside the plateau and downunder of the hotel is the clear calm water beach. The greens landscape of the mountains where cows are openly wandering at its peak, the simple life of the inhabitants, crime free environment and the succulent seafoods.
There are places like view decks, horse shoe and marlboro country which i missed taking photos, the village of ivatans, the prestige house structures built for stormy weather and much more.
I love batanes as if you are in different country. It is indeed a wonderful horizon away from home. The next time i would visit the place, surely i would bring my camera with me.
