Honesty Coffee Shop, Batanes: Where Honesty is Still the best policy

coming from Manila, where it is nearly impossible to not find at least one safety guard in a day, I found the municipality of Ivana mighty refreshing. One coffee shop proves that here in Batanes, honesty remains the best policy.

Honesty Coffee shop isn’t your ordinary cafe. It is unmanned and always open, allowing the customers to get what they need and trusting that they do the ideal thing and pay right. Yep, you just get what you want and drop your payment at designated boxes.

Owned by married couple Jose and Elena Gabilo, the Honesty Coffee shop has become a vacationer spot on its own. It is located just beside the Port of Ivana, the jump-off point to Sabtang Island.

This is where you drop your payment.
The thought of it is both delighted and sad. delighted because it’s a testament to the admirable values of the locals: both the owners for their depend on and the patrons for their honesty. Not a big deal in Batanes probably: In a province that boasts a essentially ZERO crime rate, stealing is nearly unheard of.

It was a bitter pill to swallow too. has honesty been so scarce, so rare? There is sadness in realizing that a lot of of us find honesty odd and refreshing enough to be a vacationer attraction.
