The best place to live near in my place 💝
Iloilo City
Iloilo City is a city located on the island of Panay, Visayas. The locals, commonly known as Ilonggos, are perhaps one of the warmest and friendliest people that you would ever meet in the Philippines. The city is easily accessible and well-connected to its neighboring areas. It is a 4 to 5-hour drive to Boracay, 2 hours to Roxas City, and 3 hours to Kalibo.

Iloilo’s central location has given the city an incredible potential and provides locals with a lot of opportunities. As an emerging business and commercial center, Iloilo has seen a rapid growth in investors and businesses setting up offices in the city, leading to an increase in residential developments in the area, as well as leisure hubs such as the Iloilo River Esplanade.

My Favorite place in Philippines.
Subic, Zambales
Situated along the northern coast of Subic Bay, this city falls under the province of Zambales. A former US Naval base, Subic is one of the most sought after locations for expats looking to retire in the Philippines. The Subic Bay International Airport is situated on the southern side of the town, easily accessible via private or public means of transportation.
*Teeming with beaches, duty-free shops, and leisure hubs, Subic is an ideal retirement place especially for expats.*
Subic is often visited by people from Metro Manila or its nearby cities because of its numerous duty-free shops where one can buy imported items for lower prices. Resorts, spas and fine dining restaurants catering to locals, tourists, and expats are also present in the area. Tourist attractions include scuba diving sites, zoos and amusement parks, beaches and water parks, and nature trails. While a lot of people flock to Subic for various reasons, this area maintains a smooth flow of traffic because of the strict implementation of traffic rules and well-disciplined locals.
Brave Browser + Read.Cash = Double Income.
I will share you guys how I earn double income.
Every month you earn 70% of the BAT revenue that advertisers spend on the ads you see, while Brave receives the remaining 30%. As the BAT stacks up in your account, you can make contributions to websites you love, and tip users on Twitter, Github, YouTube and other sites. Publishers receive the contributions in the form of cryptocurrencies if they opt into the system.
According to Brave, a typical user earns around $5 a month, but that this figure will vary based on region and "other factors." When CNET test-drove Brave's BAT feature earlier this year, the end total in our reporter's account after a good bout of tooling around was around $27, though not all of that was from viewing ads. https://www.cnet.com/news/braves-privacy-first-browser-ads-arrive-with-promised-payout-for-you/#ftag=CAD-00-10aag7d
Previously, Brave struggled to get its currency to cross the threshold from crypto to cash. That's possible now through the cryptocurrency exchange Uphold, and Brave said by early next year it'll also be possible for users to redeem BAT for subscriptions, gift cards, discounts and more.

Eding of my Friendship.
About seven years ago, I went to dinner with a dear friend I had known for more than 32 years. It would be the last time we would see each other and by the end of that evening I was deeply shaken. But more lasting and more unsettling than this has been the feeling of loss without his friendship. It was a sudden ending but it was also an ending that lasted for me well beyond that evening. I have worried since then at what kind of friend I am to my friends, and why a friendship can suddenly self-destruct while others can so unexpectedly bloom.
My friend and I were used to going to dinner together, though it had become an increasingly tricky matter for us. We had been seeing each other more infrequently, and our conversations had been tending towards repetition. I still enjoyed his passion for talk, his willingness to be puzzled by life’s events, our comically growing list of minor ailments as we entered our sixties, and the old stories he fell back on — usually stories of his minor triumphs, such as the time his car burst into fire, was declared a write-off by insurance, and ended in an auction house where he bought it back with part of the insurance payout and only minor repairs to be made. There were stories of his time as a barman in one of Melbourne’s roughest pubs. I suppose in a lot of long-lasting friendships it is these repeated stories of the past that can fill the present so richly.
Nevertheless, both his opinions and mine seemed to have become too predictable. Even his desire to come up with the most unpredictable viewpoint on any problem was a routine I expected from him. Each of us knew the weaknesses in the other’s thinking, and we had learned not to go too far with some topics, which were of course the most interesting and important ones.
He knew how politically correct I could be, and shrewdly enough he had no time for my self-righteousness, the predictability of my views on gender, race and climate. I understood this. He knew too that his fiercely independent thinking was often just the usual rant against greenies or lefties. Something had begun to fail in our friendship, but I could not properly perceive this or speak of it.
We were a contrasting pair. He was a big man with an aggressive edge to his gregarious nature, while I was lean, short and physically slight next to him, a much more reserved person altogether. I liked his size because big men have been protective figures in my life. At times when I felt threatened I would ask him to come with me to a meeting or a transaction, and just stand next to me in his big way. During one long period of trouble with our neighbours he would visit when the tension was high to show his formidable presence and his solidarity with us.
I was always reading and knew how to talk books, while he was too restless to read much. He knew how to sing, bursting into song occasionally when we were together. He had been unable to work professionally since a breakdown that was both physical and mental. By contrast, I was working steadily, never quite as free with my time as he was.
Nearly two years before our last dinner together his wife had suddenly left him. As it turned out, she had been planning her departure for some time, but when she went he was taken by surprise. I saw a more confused and fragile side of him during those months when we would meet and talk through how he was dealing with their counselling sessions, and then how the negotiations were proceeding over belongings and finally the family house. He was learning to live alone for the first time since he had been a young man, and was exploring what it might be like to seek out new relationships.
The place of many kinds people.

Makati City is perhaps the most upscale area nestled in the lap of big Metro Manila. From high-end shopping malls, fine dining restaurants to luxurious five-star hotels, this posh city is where the affluent locals gather.

The city is pedestrian-oriented so you can easily walk around the central business district and the major landmarks such as Greenbelt Chapel, Ninoy Aquino Monument, and Ayala Museum. The populated areas of Makati are safe at day or night, but avoid venturing out on lonely streets as beggars and touts may harass you.

In love
Manila and Boracay
My girlfriend is a doctor in the Philippines. She always tells me stories about what it’s like to live and work there. I decided to give her a visit for vacation and experiencing the Philippines for the first time has been amazing. She taught me how to refer to the taxi driver as Kuya while cooling off in the hot weather with my halo-halo. Before I came to the Philippines, I already knew that I loved Pauline. But I left loving her people as well.

Jeepney honesty
Chinatown, Manila
We spent a few days in Manila. We were eager to ride public transport instead of boring taxis. Somehow we managed to find information about Jeepneys. It was our first ride to Chinatown in a jeepney and we wondered how to pay as we sat at the extreme corner seats away from driver. We were surprised when new passengers climbed in and gave money to the person sitting very next to him. Money flew from various hands to driver and money returned through same channel. We looked at each other amazed with the process—such honesty!

Moriones
Marinduque
It was a last-minute insane decision to travel to Marinduque. It was insane because of a three-hour queue for the bus and a horrifying ten-hour moonlit queue for ferry to the island. But the Moriones Festival was worth the pain! Marinduque is a small, 100% crime-free island with such polite and friendly locals. The all participated in an astonishing preparation for Moriones where almost all villagers, young or old, joined in and left us amazed. Participants cheered us to join them, wear their costumes, take photos, and feast together.

Complete relaxation of body and soul!
Manila
I first visited the Philippines in 2004. Since 2007, I’ve taken with me my wife, son and daughter. The Philippines is the closest tropical destination from Korea. It’s a heavy burden for you to move to a touristic destination with your kids after an international flight. So my family always stays at the Sofitel in Manila. We all enjoy beautiful and romantic scenes of Manila Bay from the pool area. Delicious food, charming music, awesome views and your loved ones! What else do you need for a perfect vacation?!
***~Peter***
Where my soul rests
Panglao Island, Bohol
I think I once lived in the Philippines in a past life. If not, I can’t explain the reason why I love the Philippines this much. To me Pinoy beaches and places are where my soul rests. To get to Dumaluan Beach on Panglao Island requires much time and patience. But it’s well worth your effort if you wish to get some quiet, peaceful rest. And I recommend you to participate in a tour program to swim with whale sharks in Oslob. It’s an indescribable experience! It’s way more fun in the Philippines.
***~Peter***
Experience Philippines!
Camarines Norte, Tagaytay, Batangas, and more
I worked for six weeks for a travel company in The Philippines, where as a travel manager we led groups to some trips around the country, where the destination is a secret and the activities a surprise! I had the chance of visiting many amazing non-touristy places, sleeping in tents under the clear sky, swimming with turtles in pristine waters and having loads of fun with delicious food around bonfires.... I had an awesome time with the best people ever, so I will definitely come back!

Natural glow
Cebu
Humid weather in the Philippines gave me a natural glow! If you seek holidays with adventure, Cebu is your playground. It boasts many amazing experiences such as canoeing, waterfalls, rock jumps and the opportunity to swim with whale sharks.

Paradise in the Philippines
El Nido
Having gone twice, El Nido has become my favourite place in the Philippines. It is so rich in nature, both wildlife and underwater. The seawater, in particular, is crystal clear. Although the water is deep, you can see the bottom because of its clarity. It was the first time that I swam with jackfish, sea turtle, and blacktip reef shark. Coral reef and fish are abundant and diverse. It is common to see lizards, snakes, and monkeys. Bird-watching is also famous. Big lagoons and small lagoons are soenchanting that I cannot get enough of the experience!
***~Piangpat, Thailand***
It is more fun in the Sili region!
Bicol
I went to Bicol region for various reasons. It started with the grandeur Mayon Volcano, almost perfect and cone-shaped. The lava and volcanic rocks also evolved into a black sand beach which you cannot find anywhere else. Daraga Church and Cagsawa ruins are national treasures. Even though whale shark watching is not on my bucket list, I went to Donsol just to experience it. I had only one morning and was fortunate to see at least one whale shark. It was unexpected, but absolutely memorable.
Above all, Bicol food is delicious and HOT!!!
***~Piangpat, Thailand***
Lost in time in Batanes
Batanes
What makes Batanes unique is that being there is like getting lost in another world where time and technology do not matter. Internet connection is rare. It is a cash economy. Life is quiet, peaceful, and slow. The Ivatan tribe that lives there still preserves its culture. People are pure and honest. I forgot my wallet at a tourist attraction and got it back. Scenery is picturesque and breathtaking, whether it be hills or ocean. Local food is heavenly delicious and cheap.
***~Piangpat, Thailand***
Experienced Philippines under disaster
Guiuan, Eastern Samar
I went to Guiuan as a volunteer of an emergency shelter kit distribution team. At that time the town was hugely impacted by Super Typhoon Haiyan. People lived in temporary shelters. Electricity was limited. Having water to take a shower was lucky enough. People were excited to see a foreign face and in high spirits even in tough times. Since I do not know the local language, I could not help much. Nonetheless, I hope at least I demonstrated love for humanity without discrimination towards race, religion, or belief.
***~Piangpat, Thailand***
Raw life
Orani, Bataan
Upon visiting the Municipality of Orani, I experienced raw and organic life that I had never seen or felt before. I could feel the unadulterated warmth and kindness the people in Orani were made up of. Material and tainted influences were absent. The simplest ways of life are lived here and the people were content with what they have. The Old Port area of Orani left such an immense feeling that I carry with myself each day, waiting inside until I have a chance to revisit this wonderful place.

Home is where the heart is
Manila, Tacloban, Isabella, Bacolod
I fell in love with the Philippines on my very first trip in 2012. Since then all I’ve done is work hard and save so I can keep going back to this wonderful country. The way the Filipino people live with hearts of kindness and resilience are simply inspiring. I love the hospitality of the locals! Just thinking about the amazing adobos and chicken-on-a-stick make my mouth water! I also love the culture, especially the Masskara dances which captivated my soul. I love this country with all my heart!

#CSR #StuffitChallange #Shookt
My first week with PwC ended with doing something memorable for the environment. I had the pleasure of supporting the CSR team on our way to La Union. We created eco-bricks (plastic bottles stuffed with non-biodegradable waste) which were used to construct walls and fences for classrooms and houses. Eco-brick is a solution for today’s plastic challenge. Let’s work together to live in a world that has a lot less plastic and a lot more organic: from trash to treasure, from pollution to solution.

Kalesa
Manila
I had a very impressive tour riding the Kalesa last September 2016. It was so nice to see the attractions by sitting in the Kalesa and hearing that “klip klop” sound while the horse was trotting along the streets. The driver and his son were very friendly. The driver was also our knowledgeable tour guide. It was nearly half an hour tour around the historical center of Manila. I even had my first Taho! It was very delicious and I recommend others to try it. The tour ended at the National Museum.

A land of warm-hearted smiles
Boracay, Manila, Cebu, Bohol, Puerto Galera, etc.
I first visited the Philippines back in 1994. Since then I have traveled to many places alone or with my wife, son and daughter. Many of my acquaintances ask: “The Philippines again?!” I ask myself why I am addicted to the nation. Because of warm weather that makes me feel good? Lovely palm trees and beaches? Low prices compared to Korea? Or their religious faithfulness? Nope! My No.1 reason is that ordinary Pinoy people smile wholeheartedly to travelers despite many hardships in life!

A perfect outdoor getaway from the hustle of Manila
Anawangin Cove, Zambales
This place has an amazing camping spot where you can set up a tent, cook food, enjoy, and relax with your loved ones. It’s an escape from the world of technology as this place doesn’t have telephone signals and there is no electricity: nevertheless there is a shower place where you can wash off the sands after you dip into the ocean and be bathed by sand. You can then enjoy hiking in the hills and be enchanted by the mesmerizing view from the top. It’s an ideal place for nature lovers.

The hottest internship
Manila
I grew up in Germany, spent the last semester in the US, and now ready for my internship with PwC – this is my first time in the Philippines. My arrival was a bit of a culture shock. However, it is the best time – the WARM welcome from the team made me fall in love with the country as it feels like home, the SPICY food (gising-gising and kare-kare), and the warm weather made my stay so enjoyable. The Philippines has so much to offer, that I am considering a permanent move: the move to happiness.

10 Reasons to Visit & Love the Philippines
With the remarkable beauty and undeniably friendly locals, the Philippines isn’t difficult to love. Most tourists think that the Philippines is just about beaches but actually, it’s much more. And just as a trip here will certainly make you fall for everything you see, it will also make you fall for the values of everyone you meet and the palatable cuisines they serve.
***Here are the 10 reasons why you’ll love the Philippines even more!***
1. **Breathtaking Views**
Unlike other places, an adventure in the Philippines takes you to a wonderland where it seems as though you’ve walked straight into a postcard. Cue in, Batanes and Banaue Rice Terraces.
Its vast greenery, hills, stunning sunset views everywhere and crashing waves from the ocean surely take one’s breath away. And just like that, you’ll be in a state of bliss.
The Philippines is mysterious, grand and inviting at the same time. Through the eyes of a first-timer, this country is unbelievable.
2. **7,641 Islands to Choose From**
The beaches and islands are, certainly, one of the most convincing reasons why you should visit the Philippines. The country has been known internationally because of its pristine beaches.
Boracay tops the list. Many people all over the world drool to go on a trip to this island. Boracay is famous for its fine white sand and now, clear blue waters, party scene, and amazing water activities.
Then there goes Palawan. You can either go to Coron where great diving spots and lagoons are or El Nido where you can just enjoy the chill ambiance of the place.
Bantayan Island in Cebu also amazes tourists in so many ways. The island offers fresh air, calming sound of the waves, and cerulean waters.
3. **Great Diving and Surfing Spots**
Diving enthusiasts around the world just can’t get enough of the fantastic Philippine diving spots. Some tourists make their way to the Philippines to train or get their diving licenses because of its tropical nature and reputation as a great vacation destination. Some popular spots are found in Coron, Palawan; Apo Reef in Occidental Mindoro; and Monad Shoal in Cebu.
Another thing the Philippines boasts of is its amazing surfing spots! Some people from across the world travel here just to feel the adrenaline rush from surfing the Philippine waters. Surfing spots in the Philippines that are worth the visit include Siargao, the country’s surfing capital, Baler in Aurora Province, and La Union.
4. **Exquisite Pinoy Cuisine**
With more than 7,000 islands and rich history, the Philippines has some delicious dishes of its own. And there’s more to Filipino food than the mind-boggling *balut* (duck embryo).
And when in the Philippines, one should not miss its famous *adobo*. The pork or chicken meat is marinated in vinegar and soy sauce. It’s easy to prepare so it’s very common in the country.
Lechon is also something worth trying! The entire pig is roasted over coals, with the crisp, golden-brown skin served with liver sauce, the most coveted part. Everyone loves this, even the late world-famous chef Anthony Bourdain. He won’t say it’s the best pig ever for nothing!
Another must-try dish in the Philippines is the *sinigang*. There are many varieties of it though: from pork to seafood. Everyone loves it because of its sour and slightly spicy taste.
Some may not like how *balut* tastes like, why people would line up for *isaw* (pork and chicken intestines) or why Filipinos eat with their hands. But perhaps the best way to understand Filipino food is by trying.
5. **Ridiculously Good People**
May it be to locals or foreigners, Filipinos are warm-hearted people. They are caring, respectful, hard-working, and full of possibilities even in hard times.
Filipinos are naturally empathetic— a loved one’s problem becomes everyone’s problem. They hold each other’s hands, they hardly leave their loved ones alone and they constantly check in with each other, whether through texts, calls, Skype, or other social media platforms.
Filipinos respect their relatives and they treat the elderlies with great fondness. They grab their hand and put it against their forehead. This gesture of *pagmamano* is so deeply ingrained in their culture that it has become the greatest symbol of affection in the family.
Filipinos don’t discriminate and that is why they are highly ranked for service, hospitality, and care-related jobs.
6. **Grand Festivals**
When it comes to parties and festivities, Filipinos take it seriously! In fact, each province has its own festival. They are vibrant, colorful, lively, and grand.
These Philippine festivals showcase the country’s culture and the locals’ creativity. Many feature colorful costumes, painted bodies, and crazy beautiful street dance performances. https://zenrooms.com/blog/post/festivals-in-the-philippines/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=phfestivals&utm_campaign=10reasonstolovephilippines
Tourists from all over the world visit the Philippines not just to see its beautiful beaches and breathtaking sights, but also to experience the country’s grand festivals that, without a doubt, makes it more fun in the Philippines.
7. **Dynamic Nightlife**
Contrary to what others think, Filipinos are not dull and boring. They know how to party, too! In fact, there are many great bars in the country that take the party scene to the next level!
Enjoy a pub crawl at Poblacion in Makati or go to Bonifacio Global City or Ortigas to get the best city views, breezy outdoor escapes, and chic spots that are sure to have you sipping and toasting all night long.
8. **Interesting Mix of Different Cultures**
Because of the country’s history of colonialism and encounters with different cultures — Chinese, Malay, Spanish, American, and Japanese — what has resulted, is the most curious melting pot of varying traits and practices.
Travelers familiar with any of these cultures will be surprised and amused at the parallels Filipinos carry in their ways of life.
9. **Filipinos Welcome Everybody With Open Arms**
Many tourists find Filipinos very hospitable and this impression is clearly an edge. That’s how hospitable they are! Filipinos don’t discriminate but welcome everyone with open arms even if they’re not related. They will offer anything they can to foreigners and even teach them Filipino words even without asking.
**10. It’s More Fun in the Philippines**
With all these being said, the country’s tourism slogan is true. It’s more fun in the Philippines because you’ll never run out of things to do. You will fall in love with the people and every spot in the country. You can come to the Philippines for the beaches, but what you’ll get is so much more.
The Philippines may not be the richest country in the world or may not have the highest standard of living yet. Still, the Filipino people are very rich to have good qualities and breathtaking places that spell genuine happiness.
The best place to visit in my town.
This place called GUGMA BEACH when we have the occasion we celebrated here in GUGMA BEACH because this place is so relaxing and the views is pretty cool and this place is only here in CAPIZ and you can find it in location of Sapian Capiz.
This is my place the place were you can live happiest and peaceful in my place all living here is so kind because they help each other and there's no called rich or poor because we are the same human we live Fair.
