Brief description:
For those people who likes adventures and explore different places, well you've come to the right blog! First of all the Philippines comprises of 7,641 islands in which 2,000 islands are inhabited (surely for those adventurous type of person, you'll gonna love it!)
Those remaining 5,000+ islands are yet to be discovered. Meaning there are lots of things to be explored in those islands. The Philippines is also the home of famous personalities such as Manny Pacquiao, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, Charice Pempengco, Apl de AP(Black Eyed Peas), and many more.
Without further ado, let's start!
1.) Cheap and delicious foods!
Without a doubt, Filipino dishes are one of those things that you should try especially the seafoods and native delicacies e.g. lechon, crabs, and etc.
Yummy!
2.) Helpful and Cheerful Filipino People.
The Filipinos are known for their being helpful and cheerful even though there are lots of problems that they are facing, the Filipinos are high spirited and still put the smile on their faces.
3.) The Filipinos are also known for being hospitable.
They welcome especially foreigners and treat them as their own part of the family. The video ad below serves as a testimony that even though your real family is miles away, the Filipinos will always treat you as if you are in your own country and home.
4.) BEACH! BEACH! And more beaches!!
The Philippines has lots, I really mean lots of beaches around it's islands. You can visit the most famous BORACAY. If you love surfing you can visit SIARGAO. If you want sand bar you can visit KALANGGAMAN ISLAND. And many more! (I'll make a list if you want, just comment on my post below).

5.) Lots of FESTIVALS with street dances and street parties!
Every places in the Philippines have its own festivities. And ofcourse, in every festivities there's always parties (either eating parties or street parties). Most of the festivals have always street dances and parades. I'm sure if you are a party type of person, come and visit the Philippines!
6.) NO LANGUAGE BARRIER
We all know that ENGLISH is a universal language.
Teaching English subject started since the American colonization.
The Philippine Government implemented teaching English subject in schools. That is why this is the best reason why you should go to the Philippines for a vacation because most of the Filipinos understand English. So if ever you get lost, just approach a native from the Philippines and it will gladly help you without hesitation.
So there's it! We have many more things to show case to the world. I'll leave you with our popular saying, THERE'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES! :)

Interesting points. I didn't knew the fact about the islands.
It might be interesting to go on exploring on one of them sometimes ( when I have the money to travel :)) ).
You'll never regret it if you visit here. I suggest your first stop is the boracay, and then the El Nido in Palawan. Many Expats chose to retire here in the Philippines because they fall in love with the nature. :)
