Anilao Batangas

Good afternoon! This picture was taken at Anilao Batangas.

--Batangas is one of the most popular tourist destinations near Metro Manila. The province has many beaches and famous for excellent diving spots only a few hours away from Manila.

Found in the province is world-known Anilao and its many dive sites that are ideal for observing marine life, and outstanding for macro photography. Located only 110 kilometers south of Metropolitan Manila, it is very accessible by land or by sea.

So let's visit here in the Philippines to see the beautiful beaches and places here...
Have a nice day!

Philippine Jeepney

Hello, good evening! I want to introduce since then used as small busses for cheap transport of people, goods and even sometimes little animals.

Jeepneys are the most common form of public transport throughout the many islands of the Philippines.

In Manila they are so numerous, that there is almost constantly traffic congestion. The jeepneys don't have air-conditioning.

They have open windows. Most of the time the jeepneys are constantly-packed with many passengers.

Jeepneys offer one of the cheapest ways of getting somewhere. They seldom have a special place to stop.

The drivers will slow down enough to enable the passengers to jump on or out.

The Chocolate Hills

Hi, good afternoon!
The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol's most famous tourist attraction. They look like giant mole hills, or as some say, women's breasts, and remind us of the hills in a small child's drawing.

Most people who first see pictures of this landscape can hardly believe that these hills are not a man-made artifact. However, this idea is quickly abandoned, as the effort would surely surpass the construction of the pyramids in Egypts.

Plenty of tourist guides and tour operators will be happy to bring you to the chocolate hills, either as a separate trip or as part of a day tour.

However, if you want to go here on your own, from Tagbilaran, you will have to go the integrated bus terminal in Dao and catch a bus going to Carmen.

If you look like a stranger, you will have a hard time not finding one. At the entrance of the bus terminal people will point you to the right bus.

Make sure it is the first one to leave, and ask the driver to drop you off at the Chocolate Hills complex, about 4 kilometers before the town of Carmen. From there it is a 10 minute walk along a road winding up to the complex.

Bay view Manila

Hello,good morning! I'm here again Maiko... Sorry for being not here yesterday, because yesterday was my day off...

Have you been to Philippines? Do you see how the beautiful view of Manila, and also their beautiful lights?

Ideally situated along the famous Roxas Boulevard, the Bay view Park Hotel in Manila, is in the heart of the city's tourist district, yet close enough to the major business centres,

and with easy access to the Philippine International Convention Centre, plus the hotel offers its privileged guests spectacular views of Manila Bay, making it an ideal choice of hotel for business or leisure travellers alike.

So come and let visit here in Philippines, try to unwind and appreciate the beautiful place here in Manila... Have a nice day! ;-)

DURIAN FRUIT

Hello, good morning!

The durian is becoming more and more an expensive fruit, even in the Philippines. Not so long time ago, you could buy In Davao City, the capital of Mindanao, a durian for the price of 50 pesos a piece.

That is about 1 US dollar. Nowadays it is being sold per kilo. Native varieties cost from P35 to P65 per kilo, depending on the quality and size of the fruit.

The better qualities are being sold for even a higher price.

Durian is famous for its odor. The opinions about the qualities of that odor are quite opposite! Most Asian people say that the odor of the durian can be compared to a perfume. It smell like hell and tastes is heaven....

Baclayon Church

Hi, good morning! I want to introduce the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon is considered to be one of the oldest churches in the Philippines.

It is one of the best presevered Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church.

From Tagbiliran RORO Port: Baclayon is some 6 km east of Tagbilaran. Catch a bus or jeepney in Tagbilaran, going into the direction of Baclayon. You may also find a tricycle willing to bring you there.

The Carabao Festival

Good morning!
I want to introduce one of the events in our hometown, I'm from Bulacan but not in the same municipal like Pulilan.


Begining May 14th, the people of Pulilan in Bulacan Province, San Isidro in Nueva Ecija Province, and Angono in Rizal Province celebrate for two days.


On the first day, farmers pay tribute to water buffalos, known as carabaos. These animals are very important for farmers because they help till the land.


Farmers brush their carabaos' skin until it is sleek and shiny. Then the carabaos are decorated with ribbons and attached to carts.


In the afternoon, farmers lead their carabaos to the church square to be part of the procession. At the church, the carabaos kneel for their blessings. On the second day, the carabaos compete in a friendly race.

Fashion in Summer

Hello good evening!

Stripes are big this summer!

Stripes are classic design that never stops looking fresh..

What's really great about stripes is the fact that you can dress them up or down,

making them ultra versatile for day to night casual to more dressy.

Also, an added plus is the fact that our diagonal stripes have a shinning, longing effect on the body.

So aside from being spot on trendy, it is also a very flattering design to wear.

Have a good night! ;-)

Pinagbenga Festival in Baguio

Baguio is easy to get to by air and land transportation. From Manila, the latter is the more popular choice, although at this time of the year, it may prove to be a hassle.

If you prefer to fly to the City of Pines, some airlines maintain a daily schedule of flights from Manila to Baguio and back, like Asian Spirit.

If, however, you go for a four-hour joyride, there are a variety of bus companies, garage cars, and tour operators for the convenience of tourists and visitors.

The Panagbenga Festival is held yearly during the month of February.

The celebrations are held for over a month and peak periods are the weekends. The Panagbenga Festival showcases the many floral floats and native dances.

The fragrant smells that could be presently teasing olfactory senses are probably less from the now-dried flowers from Valentine's Day than air floating all the way from Baguio City.

At this time of year, the City of Pines is almost surely in flower fury over Panagbenga festival, the city's biggest festival.
