Hi everyone.
I just want to know if the Philippines is still in the list of tourist spots in the world despite of that internal or domestic problems has reached its boiling point?
With so much politicking, regressive economy, terrorism, corruption and many more, will you still consider it as your destination for the holiday or if you have already visited it, will you still come back if you have the time and resources?
thank you.

hi there! i am from the Philippines. I believe that the tourist spots are still not changed despite the negative reputation of the country. The Philippines is still being enriched with beautiful spots which are our natural resources. Given the chance to boast the country, i love to say to all the people that the Philippines is still conserving the natural resources of the country and that people are taking care of it despite the political and economical status of the country.

i am from philippines and i believe that philippines is still a place to live and a tourist destination. I agree that philippines is facing economical problem which experienced by other countries too. So far, i still have seen a lot of tourist who continue to visits philippines.
And i would consider philippines as one of the safest country to live.

The Philippines is one of the countries on my travel wish list. I would love to fly into Cebu and then travel by boat to Bohol Island. There I would enjoy seeing the Chocolate Hills. I would adore a trip to Palawan I am sure. I have been to more dangerous places and have stayed safe. I am aware one island in the south has its dangers but the rest of the Philippines is fairly safe. Happy traveling.

yes. I will be going there to visit for my first time. I have talked with alot of phils, and they are wonderful people. As long as they stick to their ways, and don't try to americanize things, like most countries, then everything will be fine. I plan on moving there at some other time. We'll see how my visit goes first.
