Why Visit the Philippines?

I won't lie. I miss the Philippines. I miss my home. Being away from it for a long time makes me linger on all the memories, the things I've done and what I will do when I will go back.. I don't want to sound conceited, but of all the places I've been...Philippines is the closest to paradise on Earth.

Philippines is a place where all the hues of color come together, where all the flavors blend in...it simply is a chance you won't dare miss...a visit that won't make a day dull.

Why visit Philippines? With the 7,107 islands, you'll sure have thousands of reasons why, but I will sum them up to 5: BEACHES, NATURE WONDERS, FOOD, PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCE. 

  • BEACHES: It's hard not to be amazed with the alignment of great white sand beaches from all the 3 main islands of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. (The  following are just some of the numerous beaches that you will see in the Philippines)

  • FOOD: Philippine Cuisine is a fusion of East and West, it can be best understood this way, as a result of the occupation from the European Spain, American and Japanese. There's no single gathering between Pinoys where there isn't a feast on the table...even the smallest of getting together..there are always food...There are a lot of delicacies but I will leave you salivating for the most common.

  • The PEOPLE: The Filipinos are happy people. No matter how great tragedies they are to encounter they always see the bright side...We are religious and hardworking..

  • The EXPERIENCE: When you visit the Philippines, you will never regret it, not only won't you be treated with amazing views and sumptuous meals but you will be taken cared of by lovely people and unbelievable festivities.
