Welcome to the Philippines

you will definitely enjoy here. if you want to party and enjoy the night scene you can stay in manila or if you love the beach first choice would be boracay.

hi tulog,

thanks for the response,i wish to meet all my friends at Philippines and i do enjoy the stay with them in that country and learn some thing with mylot friends,have a nice day

@tulog - I don't like Boracay. I'd rather go to Bohol, Pagudpod or Palawan if I want to stay at the Beach.:D
@yugasini - It's good to hear that you would consider visiting here in our country. I hope you can grab some time/opportunity to visit here:)

hi bubblepink,

thanks for the response,you are inviting me to Philippines,thanks for the invitation,if time and money permits me i will surely visit your country and i will meet all my friends there,have a nice day

@bubblepink
yup it only shows that philippines has a lot of beaches to choose from and i agree with you that the beaches in bohol, palawan and pagudpud is at par with boracay or maybe there is no point of comparison because each of the beaches have their own unique beauty and charm. and i've been to all the beaches you've mentioned and its really worth a visit:)

thanks for your kind words about the philippines:) people here is very nice and friendly in nature. i'm sure you've enjoyed your stay in manila. if you want to see our beautiful beaches you have plenty of places to choose from. there is boracay the most popular beach in the philippines. the beaches of palawan and there are beaches in the north most notable is the hundred islands in pangasinan.:)

thanks kykidd for visiting the philippines and I'm happy that you've enjoyed your stay in Manila and Angeles City. Did you try balut? it was featured in many show in Discovery Channel Travel and Living. and you are right if you want to get the freshest meats you have to be in the market as early as 2:00 am. I hope you will come back!!!

there are a lot of places here that you'll definitely love to see. as I've mentioned in my earlier post we have a lot of beautiful beaches to offer. if you want to see the scenic view of the countryside you can visit sagada in the mountain province or baguio.

in my travels I always saw and meet backpackers from different countries i guess its ok to travel alone, if you are the adventurous type. or as what you've said you can join in the tourist group.


visit http://www.pinoyislands.com to see some of the nice places to visit in the philippines

That's true uchihaseymour i have been to cebu and really enjoyed my stay there. 5 days is not enough. there are a lot of beautiful places to see and activities to do. I was awed by the beauty of Malapascua Island, it has sugary fine white sand and turquoise blue water. you can snorkel all day and even dive because its one of the most frequently visited by divers who are looking for thresher sharks.

i would like to visit davao next year i planned it as early as now i've researched about the nice places to see in davao.specially the davao pearl farm. i know that it's kinda expensive to stay there but they allow day tour visitors. and also planning to drop by to see the eden nature park and philippine eagle foundation

hehe yes, here in davao if you visit and have a vacation, the tourists MUST eat our Durian^_^

definitely i would try to eat durian. I'm not sure if I'm going to like it though. i tried eating the durian candy and it taste good but i don't know how the real fruit taste like. one things for sure i wouldn't like to smell it.

Durian stinks? Maybe a bit. Once you get used to it, you will start to love it and will even start looking for the smell. Try to eat some durian candies first, durian ice-cream (do they still make it, Magnolia?) or a durian shake before moving to the real, serious stuff.

okay you have convinced me i will try to eat it once i visit davao. i'll follow your suggestion i'll try the candies first then the ice cream and if lastly the durian fruit like what andrew zimmern said if it looks good eat it.
