Why should you visit this House in Batanes?
House of Dakay is at the town of Ivana of South Batan Island
which is around 14km from Basco.
This house was built 1887 and one of the 5 remaining old houses to survive a strong earthquake in 1918.
Who is Dakay?
Originally owned by Luisita Estrella and was passed down to her nephew,
Jose Dakay Estrella.
Now, it is with Florestida "Lola Ida" Estrella.
She wasn't around when we visited.
She is the granny on the photo.
We asked permission to check out the house. It was small and very simple.
There's no entrance fee or donation here.
I just wish I met Lola Ida.
He might be out in tours or signal's really weak, so be patient)
