KAKASA KA BA SA 82/82 CHALLENGE?
( o ang Paglalakbay sa 82 na Probinsya ng Pilipinas)
Si Dominador Buhain ang kauna-unahang tao sa Pilipinas na nakapunta sa lahat probinsya, ito ay noong taong 2006, panahon kung saan 79 pa lamang ang bilang nito. December 2, 2006, naging opisyal na probinsya na ang Dinagat Islands.
Ikalawa namang Filipino ay si Ivan Henares, kung saan ito ang naging inspirasyon ng mga Pinoy Travelers noong panahong iyon, 80 pa lamang ang mga bilang ng mga probinsya sa Pilpinas at natapos n’ya ito noong 2010.
Ikatlo ay si James Bitea, noong 2012 nagawa n’yang maglakbay sa bawat probinsya na gumagastos lamang ng 500 pesos, natapos n’ya ang kanyang pagbisita sa lahat ng 80 na probinsya sa loob lamang ng dalawang taon. Tingurian s'ya noon bilang pinakamabilis na nakakumpleto nito.
Na-break naman ang record ni Bitea noong 2019 ni Arnel Tuvilla na natapos ang lahat ng probinsya sa loob lamang ng isang taon at sampung buwan. Apat na taon ang lumipas muli itong na-break ng isang Ritz Laude noong November 2024, matapos nitong makumpleto ang lahat ng probinsya ng isang taon at pitong buwan.
Ika-apat na nakakumpleto nito sa kasaysayan, ay si Estan Cabigas na natapos n’ya noong 2012, habang si Che Gurrobat ang ikalima at unang Filipina na may pinakamaraming nalakbay na probinsya noong 2014. Hindi ito tumuloy sa isang probinsya sa Mindanao dahil may kaguluhan, isa na lang ang kulang n’ya noon pero hindi na niya napagpatuloy pa.
Naging 81 na ang probinsya noong panahon ng paglalakbay ni Gurrobat, dahil naging probinsya nang ganap ang Davao Occidental. Isang 'Cuteeh Cath' ang unang babaeng nakakumpleto nito at pi-no-post n’ya sa kanyang Instagram (deleted account).
2014 din, nagawa naman ng isang Harly Marcuap na matapos ito sa loob ng tatlong taon, s’ya ang ika-anim na nakagawa nito at s’ya rin ang pinakabatang nakakumpleto sa kasaysayan sa edad na 21. Habang si Aurora Amelia Aguirre ang pinakabatang nakapaglakbay sa lahat ng probinsya sa edad na tatlo kasama ang kanyang ama at ina. Ang ama ni Amelia ay si Paulo Aguirre na tanging Filipino na nakaikot sa 82 na probinsya na dalawang beses.
Note: Nahati ang Maguindanao, tumayong ika-82 na probinsya ang Maguindanao del Norte.
Sa kasaysayan, bukod tangi ang nagawa ng isang Arvid Puzon matapos lahatin nitong bisitahin ang mga rehiyon, probinsya, syudad at lahat ng munisipalidad ng Pilipinas, natapos n'ya ito ng sampung taon. Samantala, kinalala naman si Rommel Enguerra na naka-ikot sa bansa gamit lamang ang kanyang motorcycle, at ang Socialite naman na si Nicole del Rosario na pinakabatang Filipina na nakakumpleto ng mga Probinsya noong 2019, natapos n’ya ito sa loob ng apat na taon.
Habang si Jan Vincent Francisco naman ang nakaikot na sa buong probinsya kasama ang lahat ng pinakamatataas ng bundok sa Pilipinas at lahat ng Extreme point of dulong isla sa hilga, silangan, timog at kanluran ng Pilipinas.
Narito pa ang ilan pang manlalakbay na mga unang nakakumpleto pagkatapos ni BJ Carreon (2016-2018), (Still need for validation of the following) Ramil delos Reyes, Gael Hilotin, Mervs Adventurista, Jason Jacob Ponce, Eric Gotera, Ching dela Cruz.
