THE PHILIPPINES
A LITTLE ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
My home country. The Philippines is an archipelago made up of some 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia.
It’s a tropical country and basically has two seasons: rainy and sunny. I like both.
We’ve got plenty of mountains, lots of beaches, and some natural wonders. Our history is, uhm, interesting which played a part in our diversed and crazy culture. By ‘crazy’ I mean rich (not money rich, though) and colorful (too colorful, maybe).
EXPLORE THE PHILIPPINES
Rizal, my home province, is a mountainous province located about 16 kilometers east of Manila.

Do a visita iglesia in Manaog and head to the beautiful Sual, Pangasinan. Dansol is yet another beautiful beach area.
A coastal province well-known for its strong waves suitable for surfing. One of La Union’s towns, San Juan, which is dubbed as the “surfing capital of the north”, has plenty of surfing resorts for the adventure seekers.

The mountains and hills by the sea of Aurora is one for the books for sure. Facing the Pacific, this yet another coastal Province has big surprises waiting for the first-timer.

Benguet province might sound unheard of even for many Filipinos, because the name “Baguio” comes to mind when you say Mountain Province. The “Summer Capital” of the Philippines has a lot to offer, literally, from foods to museums.
