Batbatan Island






                     Batbatan Island, Culasi Antique. Home of the ethnic people called Tangays this island harbors a rich biodiversity underwater with its coral reefs and exotic tropical animals, above ground with colorful endemic wild birds and a colony of flying foxes and monkeys, and underground (inside its cave), and everything in between the coral cliffs that submerge in clear sea water and the creatures that live there..
