There are a lot of things I like about living in the U.S., but one of the best things is our highways. We can go just about anywhere we want pretty easily. I like that because I do like to travel. What is something you like about where you live?

Although there are also a hundred things I dont like about my country, the Philippines, it also has its own charm. The Philippines is rich in natural resources. We have plenty of awesome beach resorts. The people here are very hospitable. Although most Filipino people are poor, they still know how to have a good laugh. We are free.

Knowing how to laugh is very important and a skill not everyone has. Thanks for your response.

I live in the Philippines....Even if it's a third-world country, I'm so proud of my country for a lot of things. The Philippines boasts huge malls... It has the biggest mall in Asia which is the 3rd biggest in the world, and it also has the 5th biggest in the world. And the Philippines have the finest beaches in the world. Also the Philippines is very rich in nature...and also, it's the home of very hardworking Filipinos :)

Another vote for the Philippines. I have met a lot of super Philipinos, but never had the pleasure of visiting country. Thanks for the reply.

The Philippines is generally peaceful and we are not directly and personally affected by the rampant graft and corruption committed by government officials. We have rich natural resources and we do not go hungry if we know how to work. And many Filipinos have simple living and so we survive.

I know the government officials do not represent the people. I have found that to be true in other countries, too.

Icome from Philippines and proud to be pilipino but no choice i have to be Australian now because I'm married to one.Philippines is very rich in natural resources and poeple who are already rich become more richer but poor people more poorer. but pilipinos they are very resourceful in times of crisis they survive big typoons and floods.We have the biggest one when MT. Pinatubo erupted were many towns were burried in the mad.and now they are back in bussiness. I like Australia it's very rich they look after old people like us we recieve pension, medicare which we can buy our medicine cheap. DR's are free and hospital as well.Very clean everywhere especially the water we drink.It's like home many pilipinos here. we can buy all our asian food in asian shops.

I live in the Philippines. There are a lot of scenic spots and beautiful places you can visit at the Philippines. From Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, you can find wonderful beaches, islands and tourist spots. Most of all , Filipinos are hospitable and friendly people. That's why many foreigners love the Philippines and they are going back here all the time to visit us. So, if you are planning a travel, you could book a flight to Philippines and discover the beauty of our country.
