The Busyador Of Pabellon Island

Busyadores (nest gatherers) scale the high rock faces of Pabellones in Taytay Bay to gather the nests of balinsasayaw (swiftlets).

The busyador not only gathers the balinsasayaw nests but cleans them as well of impurities accumulated inside the caves. A kilo of this delicacy can fetch a price of as much as P170,000 or $3,400.
