South Batan: Honesty Coffee Shop

The shop where honesty is the BEST POLICY. 


The Honesty Coffee Shop is a store and at the same time a cafe but a small one. 
It is stocked up with goodies, snacks and souvenir items. 
Visitors, after a long and tiring but worth it day of exploration.
 can sit back and relax here 
while sipping their sipping coffee or tea or drinking water / soda. 
Or
in case you're not feeling dried out from the scorching heat, 
you may just check out their stuffs. 


No one will be there to assist you. 
So you need to help yourself with anything. 
Feel free to explore its four corners. 
Once you've collected the things you've wanted, 
make sure to log them in the logbook with their corresponding prices, 
do the math and pay your dues. 



They have a  specific drop box there for payments 
(which I didn't have a photo of, sad)
So just drop them in. 
Change is not available.
So it's either you pay the exact amount or
you let them keep the change. :) 
As the saying goes, 
*Give more and you'll receive more."


The doors are open from 6 am til 6 pm. 
The owner of the shop is a retired teacher named Elena Gabilo who wished to help others, 
We were unlucky to meet her because she was taking a catnap when we arrived. 
Next time, maybe?



Soon after going through the cafe, 
we had to check out our next destination, Simbahan ng Ivana. 



Yes!! I had to play around going to the church.
I know it was just a stone away
but kuya Toto insisted that I ride his tricycle. 
And so this is what I did. 
Haha!!
