In & About The Philippines

From mountains to plains,
from waterfalls to oceans...
Of strawberries and grains,
to delectable crustaceans...

From scholarly men,
to boxing heroes and talkative politicians...
Of award winning musicians,
japayukis and emmigrating physicians...

This is the Philippines,
a great haven for tourists and balikbayans!

This country has so many things for people to learn from and wonder or marvel about - even for those of us who live here. The many islands would usually have different attractions, customs and cultures that I hope to all see in my lifetime. Unrealistic ambisyotic ba? Sige lang.., at least I have a goal heheh!

I write lengthily, taking notes of anything that invite my interest or curiosity. So you will mostly be in for a very long read! But I also do try to put my photos or videos (if any) to enhance the storytelling!

Oh, you will notice below each story are tags/labels of regions, provinces, towns and/or interesting subjects. You may also use the search box on the side if you're on a PC, or below if you're on a phone!

Note:
The style, my style, is to tell my stories, my feelings and my perceptions about places, people and/or events encountered. I am not here to replace "Lonely Planet". I extensively use it as reference, in fact!

If you look closely though, I don't (ah eh.., maybe "seldom") dwell on what they already tell you, like the 'when to visit', 'how much', 'what time', and all those things that travel guidebooks are supposed to tell.

At times, I do mention those basic information as part of my story. But my objective is to tell you how I felt, so that before you visit, you will have an idea on what may or may not happen to you.

Do drop me a note, a comment or even an equally lengthy story. I will be honored to reply!

Happy reading!
