Mavudis Islands
Mavudis is the northernmost of the Batanes Islands and the northernmost island in the Philippines. It is part of the province of Batanes. Mavudis (Mavodis), the Ivatan name for the island, means "low". The island was also called Dihami (meaning "north" in Ivatan) by older Batan natives, Diami by some members of the Spanish colonial government, and Yami (or Y'Ami) in most American-era maps of the Philippines. The latter should not be confused with the aboriginal Yami of Taiwan that live on islands further north beyond Philippine territorial limits, but are geographically, culturally and linguistically related to the Ivatan.

paano ba mapupuntahan ang mavudis island sa batanes.
last frontier in the north of the Philippine archipelago should be given importance by our government...or by the provincial government of Batanes...it should be claimed proudly, structures should be erected...kahit maliit na tower bearing our national flag.
