                    [Title] => The windmills of Batanes
                    [Summary] => It’s may not be a new tourist destination in Batanes but the wind diesel hybrid plant  perched on three hills has certainly helped tourism by providing the province with electricity 24 hours a day.  


"This is the first of its kind that is commercially running. It can be a prototype for other remote islands like us," said former Batanes congressman and current Education Secretary Florencio Abad. "People are now talking of putting up ice plants and storage for fish and lobsters, which are exported to Taiwan."
