The Philippines belong to the 65 poorest countries in the world. Prices for lodging, food, and transport are much lower than in Europe or the USA. But this also means that technology and cultural habits can be different from what you are used to: ELECTRICITY is supplied by Banelco, the Bantayan Electricity Collective. Sometimes, there are power outages, lasting from 20 minutes to several hours. We can neither predict nor influence such incidents. Luckily, the situation has greatly improved in 2021☺ As we have our own water tank, we still have a water reserve during power outages. ANIMALS & FRUITS: There are no known poisonous animals on our lot. Centipedes may leave a painful bite, though, but they are rare on our lot. If you walk through high grass, the ants may find you. Put some cream on their bites, and do not scratch them. We recommend following the paths on the lot, and not go barefoot. Please don't eat berries, fruits and mushrooms you are not familiar with. FIESTAS: Philippine popular cultures includes fiestas, weddings or birthday parties, with disco or karaoke music. Occasionally, this also happens in our neighborhood. Sometimes, we know about this before, sometimes not. If such an incident disturbs your sleep, we will hand you a cashback discount, in accordance with the severity of the disturbance. We are in constant touch with the Barangay Captain to support considerate behavior within our barangay community.
