Do you like the Philippines? How come? Are there things to like about the country? Have you been to some places in the Philippines?

I haven't been to the Philippines yet but it is one of the countries on my travel wish list. I adore visiting tropical countries, going snorkeling around coral reefs and doing some island hopping. I would so love to fly to Cebu then catch a boat to Bohol Island. There I would see the Chocolate Hills and spend time on the palm fringed beaches. I would love to snorkel around a coral reef and bathe under a refreshingly cool waterfall. The people of the Philippines are really friendly and the hot climate must be fantastic. When I go there I hope that I will meet the local people, watch the native wildlife and find out about the culture.

I have never been there, but I really want to visit. I have heard that some parts are way pretty and almost everyone I know from there are way nice.

I do appreciate Philippines. There are so many beautiful places in our country. And since I havent been home for quite some time now, I actually miss Pinas. Besides, my dearest family & friends are there,so they are reason enough to like the place. I've seen a few places such as Baguio, Ilocos Norte & Ilocos Sur, Bohol, Batangas,BUlacan,Laguna and Metro Manila. The problem with the Philippines is the government and the lack of discipline of the people. That is where corruption, poverty and everything else rooted.
