ReplyDeletethanx..
FYI, there are 2 Isawads in Basilan. One is Isawad Cabunbata, the other is Isawad Balamban. Both are accessible via multicab or tricycle. Isawad Cabunbata is about 5 km from the port area while Isawad Balamban is 10-12km. If you would be going as a group, multicabs can be rented along Roxas Ave. near the Sta. Cruz market to take you to Isawad Balamban. Multicabs are usually parked near the Office Supply store fronting the market. Tricycles can also be rented cheaper along the market than those at the port area.
