Philippines! What a coincidence. My brother is there in Cebu City and my insurance broker just got back from the Philippines!

My brother is involved with a travel agency there and has told me about a lot of great tourist spots. Those areas sound pretty swank. But he has told me about the majority of the conditions there which sound kind of bleak. But he says the people are happy and he really seems to enjoy it.

I hope you enjoy your trip! Let me know if you need any tips for your travel plans. Just use the email link to me below.

actually the ppl are very hospitable!!! Some areas are just like hawaii,,cebu and leyte are. Bohol,,pure white sand beaches,,cheap seafood. Bought calamari for 1.00 a pound fresh. You just have to be willing to go beyond your comfort zone,,thats why im here. Hadnt been to se asia since vn. Had to push my limits!!! But they are a country of extreme beggers,,makes welfare ppl seem like nothing!!!! Not alot of work ethics
