Honesty Coffee Shop
We went to batanes and we shouldn't miss this awesome Honesty Store me and my Travel squad want to see this take a look. "This store is too small for dishonest people". Honesty Coffee Shop is a store slash "coffee shop" located near the Port of Ivana, Batanes. It is owned by Ivatan couple Jose and Elena Gabilo which became famous worldwide for showcasing Ivatan's honesty. What makes this store one of its kind in the world and in the Philippines? There's no one manning the store. Instead, the owners rely on the honesty of the guests visiting the place.
Log Book and Payment Box
Everyone is free to get what they need and in a log book, you just have to write down what you took with its corresponding amount. You then put your payment on the box provided.
Honesty Shop rules hung on the wall of the shop:
Self-service only
Get what you need
Pay for whatever you need
If you have no change, knock at the next door
If no one answers, sorry you give more than the price
Always remember, "honesty is the best policy" There's also a guestbook in the coffee shop where tourists and visitors could express their admiration for the store or to leave a message for the owners to see.
Certainly, the Honesty Coffee Shop is one of its kind not just in Batanes but in the entire Philippines.
