We were welcomed by these local kids who were willing to assist, take photos and share a little bit of a background about this tourist spot.

| around 30 feet hole |
Bantay Abot was
named such because the word 'Bantay' in Ilocano means mountain while the
word 'Abot' in Ilocano means hole so in layman's term it means
'mountain with a hole'.

Although it is not actually a mountain not even a cave but is more of a huge rock. According to our little tourist guides the hole was developed due to the natural combination of waves from the sea and other elements that was purely nature's work.
The view here looks pretty amazing too!
