Destination Philippines

I don't know which part of the Philippines you'll be destined to work. Because Philippines is composed of diffirent islands it is difficult for me to suggest which place to go best since I don't know where you'll be working. The best place to go would ne to visit Baguio city. Next is Boracay thats the famous tourist destination in the my country if you love to go swimming. You can also check out www.tourism.gov.ph for more info.

Hi bodhisatya. Just make sure it is not one of the north islands.There is a lot of trouble and no mater were you are watch your things. in all the major city you will not have any trouble finding a place to stay.if you are getting per diem or money to stay you can make some good cash. just live will the natives do. don't stay at the big hotel.

Hey great spot to visit. So you know Philippines is one of the countries visited by the tourists in South East Asia. I'm not sure where in Philippines you will stay, but most likely tourists and business travelers stay in Manila. If you are here for vacation, I'd suggest you to visit Boracay and Palawan. Boracay is the 6th best beaches in the world, a lot of tourists and travelers go there and I've been there twice. While in Palawan there are many places there to visit, but I suggest the Underground River, the longest river in the world that travels inside a cave, that's not famous and well-known and now top of the competition of Wonders of the World. However, if you will be in Manila, places to visit are Makati and the main Manila, somewhere in Malate and Adriatico, where bars and restaurants are all over the place. If you have any questions you may comment me back. =)

I don't know too much about the Philippines, other than what I read in the NEWS. I happened to work with a few Philippinos, who were fun to work with and interesting to dialog with. I would strongly suggest you contact the Philippines Embassy in your country and get a Brochure from them.That will give you a first hand knowledge of the people , their customs, and the country. In other words a - tourist guide - of the country. Good luck, and enjoy your future trip.

Welcome to the Philippines bod! I'm sure you'll love it here. Don't worry about the people here, we're kind and very accomodating. You just be careful with your belongings as always (..even if you're not in the philippines). Be sure to know the proper fare for public transportations so they won't be asking much of what is required. That would be all i guess because generally, we love foreigners visiting our place.

hi bodhisatya! I'm happy you'll be visiting the Philippines. The country is lovely, you can find many good tourist spots to visit. As for the people, you would find great hospitality and almost all the people here like to share a smile to anyone. Very accomodating indeed. I suggest you visit Coron Island in Palawan, there's one beach there that is so beautiful, the Banol Beach. Perfect white sand and clear water, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy you're stay there. Also, don't miss out Pagudpud Ilocos Norte. Has a nice beach and clean places to visit to. Enjoy your vacation! Happy trip!

Sorry Bodhi, I cannot help you with this one but I am sure that many people from the Phillipies wil gladly assist you. I was wondering what had happend to you as you have not been active for some weeks. I hope that all is well with you.

If you're first destination is Manila, then you could go first to the Manila Ocean Park, if you like flowers, you could go to the Orchidarium. I also suggest to visit the mediterranean island in palawawn. it is already a nominee for the one of the best wonders in the world. Next is Boracay, well-known for its white sand.
