This day, allow me to write about the famous symbols that symbolizes our country - Yesterday, I wrote about something that talks about the country where I came from -the Philippines. Today, allow me to describe the photos and give you their names. Some answered some of the symbols correctly, and that is something good to know.

Like what I have said in Can You Guess these Symbols about the Philippines?, it is the idea of the post that gave it a bizarre impact and appearance, and with your participation, it was a success. You did not just examine your awareness about those symbols that signify things and places you can discover in the country, and I hope you had fun and became more proud regardless of the negative side our country has.

And since some of the rewards were left unclaimed, I decided to share them with someone you think needs it. Just mention his or her name, and I would be glad to share it. Please be honest. I do not allow someone to take advantage of it.

These hills that are located in Bohol is none other than Chocolate Hills. If you think they are real chocolate, no they are not. They are called by that name because during the rainy season, the green grasses covering the hills provide them a delicate and verdant look. But during summer, where you could feel the heat, the grasses may perish and change to a brown hue that may look like hills of chocolates, making it be called such.
