on what province you came from?

hehe ^_^ I'm not a filippino BUt i have heard and read about Laguna though ^_^ I saw it in some magazines and happen to know it.. hehe ^_^ Actually Laguna is not that small right, because that it's not near to the city like CEbu or manila ^_^ There are alot of nice scenary and views in philippines, not just in cebu.. I believe those sceneries in your province are much nicer because it's more natural with the air being fresher as well ^_^ Is there any kinda sports or rock climbing, mountain climbing in your province?? IF so, i will try it one day there ^_^

I came from Camarines Sur, however I was born here in Sta. Cruz, Manila. My parents are both from Camarines Sur. Yes, Bicolanos the are. However, I was raised here in Metro Manila already. I also studied in O.B. Montessori. But when I was 6, my family moved back to Camarines Sur because my dad lost his job. I continued my education there, elementary and High School, public schools are better in our province, rather of the private ones. At first, I really felt annoyed of not being able to communicate well to the people, because whenever they talk to Tagalog-speaking people, they are a little bit insecured, for they might say something which is not what they mean. My dad now has been managing our farms by then. I returned here in Metro Manila to attend my college education. I already graduated. I was the only member of the family living here during my college stay. Being independent is nothing new to me anyway. Getting back to my province, you can find the beautiful Mt. Isarog. We also had now the newly developed Camarines Sur Water Sports Center or commonly known as CamSur Water Sports. We also have beautiful beaches and islands like Aguirangan Island and Caramoan. Our neighbor provinces doesn't even been hidden as unpopularized. The famous volcano of the world, Mt. Mayon is just nearby our town. And the smallest fish in the world can be found also in the Bicol Region from lake Buhi. Now, who says being a Filipino, can't be proud of? :D

Yeah, I'm from Cainta Rizal. But I'm staying with my in laws in Quezon City. I can't share more about in Cainta. Very simple place. But my parents is from Bicol. Their place is very beautiful. They love spicy foods and can't learned to love it. Except for "gata" I love any form of "Gata". THe not spicy Bicol Express and the ginatan,

I'm from Pampanga, but I'm not much a traveler in my province, In the way that my family change the culture they practice that why its just study and work habits. and sorry for the things that I can't comment on the cultural practices in catholic Christian do have a lot of fiesta and pamahiin (Superstition) which I'm get confuse when do I need to pay respect for that. in what manner, I believe that our foods are unique that some of them you're surely love. like delightful suman and kalamay food that are made or rice mix with different flavoring like milk, sugar, coconuts, and other staff in making desert. If I have the chance to travel i preferred to visit bohol,palawan,cebu to see the beauty of nature and taste different fruits from those area

Hi there! I didn't really come from any province. I grew up in Quezon City, but I was born in Parañaque City. My parents do have a province, though, and we visit it once or twice a year. Their province is Tarlac. I don't really know much about that place because I don't go there much. All I know is that they speak Capampangan (did I get the spelling right?) and are famous for their tocino and longganisa. I don't speak Capampangan, but I understand a little. By the way, are we allowed to speak in Filipino here? It would be much more fun if we could.

HI CKYERA I was born and raised from the province of LAGUNA too!! Binan Laguna!!!(CONGRATULATIONS!!!) Right now im residing in California since 2002. How I miss those foods!! buko pie's are the best!and some yema and pastillas too! OMG. i wanna go back home! My husband and I were planning to go back home next year..WEll, he was born and raised in Pangasinan, so we might go back and forth these two provinces. He told me that their specialty in Pangasinan is BANGUS.dried fish, or more on seafood. I am not really fan of eating seafood. I don't why but just dont like seafood. Im ok with shrimps tho. but other than that.... =P

Dear ckyera, I was born and raised in Bulacan. And just like you, I came from the land of Heroes. Francisco Balagtas and Marcelo Del Pilar are just two of the great heroes who came from this province. One of the best products that can be found in Bulacan are fireworks. Everybody go to our place, particularly in Bocaue, to get some fireworks that they can use in occasions like wedding, christmas and new year celebrations. There are lots of other new features Bulacan have but as of now, I can't give details of these. The reason for this is because I already migrated to Cebu, southern part of the country, as in the Visayas. You have mentioned some interesting places and things that Cebu is proud of. I just want to add a place in Cebu that you may want to visit, which is Argao. In Argao, you can see one of the oldest church that the spaniards had built. Neil

hi ckyera, i am Andhra Pradesh, India, you know that India a biggest democratic country it is famous for all traditional, spiritual things, there are so many states,so many languages,so many life styles,so many type of foods,We speak Telugu in our place and state, it is famous for paddy,turmeric,beetal leaves,mangoes,bananas, we take brake fast in the morning as Idli,Vada,Poori, Dosa, Upma etc ,for lunch we take rice, sambar,rasam,curries ,pickles,papads and curd and for night we take the same food, but some people eat roti,chapathi,pulka with curries,this is for today

Hello kababayans! I was born in Angeles City - and yes I'm Kapampangan. And still very fluent with it, though I regret that my tagalog sucks. I mix it with my kapampangan, not cool. My family migrated to the US 10 years ago. You would think I would retain my tagalog - but because I don't use it that often, I now mix it with kapampangan, and sometimes Spanish. What do I miss most about the Philippines? The simplicity of life. ZERO worries. Here, I have a mortgage to pay, I have credit card bills, utilities. The list goes on! Another thing that I miss most about the Philippines - fresh water buffalo milk (gatas damulag)...ohhh yeahhh. With some tuyo, OHHH GOODNESS. I don't know what Angeles City has to offer these days - I know what Los Angeles has to offer though! Wanna know about that instead?

I'm a Davaoena! My province is Davao del Sur, and I live in one of it's city- Davao. Davao City, it's a city of growth with a population of about 1.2 million people, the 244,000 hectares are makes it (probably the world's biggest city in terms of area).People here are mixed of different bloods and races. There are Malay race, Chinese, Koreans, Arabian, Indian, American, Japanese and more to mention, those some example of races who feel comfortable and stayed here for temporary or good. This indicates that indeed our city is peaceful and visitors friendly. Davao is one of the most "Alluring gateways" to the Philippines and the window to the island of Mindanao. A predominantly mountainous region marked with rolling hills and fertile valleys. Here beautiful beaches, falls and springs! It's a home to fantastic array of flora and fauna from the famous and rare Waling waling to the endangered Philippine Eagle. There are fresh fruits vegetables, fishes, vegetables, meat and rice that are directly from harvest to market. You could enjoy the lowest prices of several products and with the best of taste. An airport and ship port are accessible through the taxis and for rent car. From luxurious hotels to elegant restaurants you could find it here. There are lower cost establishments such as hotel, restaurants, dormitories, lodging house and apartments. If you're a visitor you're surely enjoy here. Everything you need name it and you'll have it here![b][/b]

My roots are from the Cebu region, but I was born here in Manila. However, I am fluent in both Cebuano and Tagalog. In Cebu there are so many wonderful things like birds, trees and land developments that are unique in the region. Of course, who will forget the delicious dried mangoes and dangit?

I'm a proud that I am from CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - City of Golden Friendship! I was born here and I'm still here. But I have been to places like Cebu, Bukidnon, Iligan and so much more. One thing I love about this place is the traffic is not that heavy not unlike in manila and Cebu. And people are very friendly. As what I have said, I've been to Cebu fro a job interview and during my week stay there, I have noticed that I usually talk to people that I don't even know. Not to ask directions or any other informations but there was an urge to really try to reach out to them and talk. I', not saying that people from Cebu are not friendly. In fact, they are! They wouldn't talk to me if they are not friendly in the first place. Maybe because I'm working in a call center industry here in Cagayan de oro and I really love to talk. Pollution also is not that heavy! Our place maybe not that clean but at least you can still smell fresh air in the early morning.

helllo!!!Athough I was born in the city I myself also loves the beauty of the provinces in the Philippines. Both my parents are came from the province. My father came from Pampanga and my mother came from Eastern Samar. I got a chance to live threre and I really enjoyed my stay there.In Pampanga can view the Mt. Arayat and the Pampanga river. There many farm which I my self tried to plantand harvest such as rice, tomatoes, melons and others. There are also mangoes there and other trees. While in Samar, I enjoyed most is the sea. There are beaches and islets. There I learned to swim and catch fish.... When I'm in high school I had also a chance to go in the house of our national hero in Calamba. Its true' the place is beautiful and lots of buko pie stores. It was our field trip and my teacher the one who pays my fare. We also go to enchanted kingdom which I enjoyed the rides....

Yah I come from the place particularly in under the Philippines which some called a Land of Promise I don't know why and how they brought up this kind of meaning to all dabawenyos.. Anywy Davao City is one of the best largest city around the world.. and if your asking about tourist spots well,, you will enjoy the white and clean beaches with a lot of corrals. and A big mountains, like mount apo.

Hello. It is so nice to read your posting about the Provinces in the Philippines. I have been to Philippines, but only to Manila, a beautiful City. I am not from the Philippines. I live in the Province of British Columbia on the west coast of Canada, very beautiful too, with the Rocky Mountains in the background. I hope some day, I can visit the beautiful Provinces in the Philippines.

We come from the region of Bicol Camarines Sur. I have relatives that live in Ragay Camarines Sur and others that are from Naga City. My mom was born from Naga, raised in Ragay. In 2006, I stayed in Bicol for one year. I love the lifestyle, it's simple, nothing fancy, out in the forests, rough roads, the fiestas, parties, weddings, beauty pageants and the street dances. We always had something to do there. It was never a boring day, hot days, swimming in the hidden lakes, going out in Naga City to go malling, sound tripping or what not. About every other place we go to, visiting friends, families and such is the usual videoke machines. Then again, the times we hang out with our pulutans and brandy drinks like Fundador or Gran Matador. Oh and can't forget Red Horse. I've met plenty of beautiful morena pinays. Had fun, dated, but only one during that time became my girlfriend. We've had bicol express, crab mixed in gulay and milk, lechong baboy atsaka yung manok. Pritong pusit with rice and vinegar. It was just that pinoy cooking that we enjoyed. I'm proud to be a bicolano and proud of being pinoy. There's no other better life like it.

Well, I am from Cebu, particularly in Lapu-lapu City, the neighboring island of Cebu. Well, Cebu is a great place to be. You can choose from the different beauty of nature to enjoy. White sand with clear water and cold springs with great mountain views. Definitely it has something to offer for both local and foreign. Just like any other place in the Philippines, there are plenty of things that will make you enjoy nature.

Hi ckyera, i was born and graduated in Manila, i moved to Laguna in Paciano Rizal, Calamba, Laguna sometime 1981-1994 because of my family. My husband's job was in that area. But now i'm here in Bukidnon for 15 yrs now also because of his work. At first, i thought living here in Bukidnon, Mindanao was so scary and danger due to the fact of war and terrorism but it turned the other way around. Living here was such a great experienced. I found the best place with lots of beautiful scenery and friendly people. Nature was so refreshing especially when you are looking the pineapple fields beyond the mountains and trees. During weekends, we go malling in the city of Cagayan de Oro. I found the foods here so cheap and delicious too. Actually, you can save a lot here in terms of vegetables because we're not buying them but just get them on the backyard. Fruits are so plenty like pineapple, banana, papaya, mango etc... i happened to taste here also the fruit they called marang which they say, can only be found here. People here are fond of eating kinilaw (kilawin in Manila) fresh blue marlin fish cut in cubes and dipped in different herbs and spices, lechon, beef soup bones, lettuce salad etc... During fiesta, i've never been to any house without a lechon as main dish. Sounds rich ha! But it's true. It's really amazing to live here.... Cheers! Happy mylotting!
