Hello, the Philippines is a beautiful country, but also our friendly home state, where I am longing for the sun, sand

Thank you :)
China is beautiful too.

very nice pictures of lunch on the river in Bohol. If you have the time experiance this. Having your lunch on a boot. Enjoying the view, seeing the kids jumping in the water and trying to earn some money.
And when you had your lunch and joy on the river, you go and see the tarsier, the smallest monkey in the world. Let him sit on your hand and take a picture.
And when you have time to visit choclate hills and a small animal farm where they have a pyton. It was enjoyable to have comment from a person who tries to speak in the language of the visitors, wherever they come from

The Philippines
The development of national economy and the development of the world economy, can stand on the world economy and the joint efforts of the world each country can better development.
菲律宾
国民经济的发展也离不开世界经济的发展，世界经济好坏也靠世界各个国家的共同努力才能更好的发展起来。

Thank you, sweety.
I agree with with you. If all nations will help each other, world economy will be boosted up, and it will have a great effect on a nation's economy. It could also be the opposite.
Cooperation and peaceful interaction is important :)

The world each country should establish honesty, mutual faith to recognize and develop their own countries. Unite boycott hegemony. To establish a credit expansion of world peace friendly way, common development for their country. Americans a stability and unity of the wealthy homes.....
世界各个国家应当互相信认，建立诚信互助来发展自己的国家.团结一心抵制霸权扩张.建立一个诚信友好的世界和平道路，共同发展自己的国家.给国人一个安定团结.富有的家园。

谢谢您

I believe

thank you for the explanation .A very nice country to visit

POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT
The Philippines has a presidential, unitary form of government (with some modification; there is one autonomous region largely free from the national government), where the President functions as both head of state and head of government and is commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is elected by popular vote to a single six-year term, during which time she or he appoints and presides over the cabinet.

The bicameral Congress is composed of a Senate, serving as the upper house whose members are elected to a six-year term, and a House of Representatives serving as the lower house, whose members are elected to a three-year term, and are elected from both legislative districts, and through sectoral representation.

The judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court, composed of a Chief Justice as its presiding officer, and fourteen associate justices, all appointed by the Philippine President from nominations submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council.

The Philippines is full of potential tourist destinations. Across our islands lie pristine white beaches, warm and clear dive sites, scenic seascapes, challenging surf sites, beautiful mountains, magnificent waterfalls, hot and cold springs, and all kinds of natural jewels in a tropical setting.

CAPITAL : MANILA
The Philippines is a country of 7,107 vibrant and colourful islands,all pulsating with life and teeming with flavour. Yet, it is in Manila where you can hear its heart beating the loudest! Manila is asophisticated capital - the seat of power, centre of trade and industry, commerce, education, entertainment and the arts. It is an invigorating blend of some of the country’s oldest and richest heritage treasures, and the most modern metropolitan features of the Philippine landscape.

Nice country my friend thanks for the invitation and I wish really marry from your country a beautiful girl one day

Thanks again

InshaAllah... :)

VICKY, thanks for promoting our country, I am a Filipino, an Ilocano tribe. I am residing in Davao City with my family. I came from the north Philippines in the Province of Ilocos Norte. I had been in the south Philipines for more than 3 dacades now. I agree with you, Philippines is one of the most beautiful countries in Asia. This will become more progressive if our leaders in the government will think for the country's best economic development. We are rich in natural resources should capitalize this for a better Philippines in terms of socio-political economy influence to other nations. Mabuhay ka. Pagbutihin mo at palawigin mo ang pag promote ng ating bansa sa boung mundo. Patnubayan ka ng Dios.

Thank you so much Ariel.
We have a beautiful country, but the best asset of the Philippines will always be the Filipinos.
Let's strive for the best.
God bless us all :))

DAVAO CITY







ISLAND PARADISE, DAVAO

Its nice to visit Eden also. High in the mountan. Its a place to visit nature, hydro culture and also a place to stay. It has houses for rent and trail tracks for mountan bicking or just walks.

We you have walked enough you go to the Waterfront insular hotel or to stay in this luxourious hotel or book your stay on the pearl farm. The boot leaves from the hotel and after 1 hour you end up to be in heaven. Its the place to rest, enjoy the sea or swimming pool. If you like you go for some karaoke to the bar overlooking the sea at night time.
enjoy relaxing

Looks like you are more familiar to the wonderful sites than me. Thanks for your nice input. I hope you will visit our country more often. May you have a peaceful and wonderful stay everytime you go there.
Thanks, Freebee.

If i am right thats the Marco Polo hotel. A nice place to be. When you take a room at the 4th floor at the pool site you have your privat exit to a small terras belongging to the room and you can go directly to the swimming pool.
Outside the hotel you have across the street a place of small shops for t-shirts and all kind of dresses. Very nice for gifts or take home

Philippines!.... nothing else like it... the nature... nobody is going to be bored if you decide to tour in our country.... it's a package!

Thanks Jepox. Indeed, it's a great opportunity :))

Nice spots and good effort in promoting our country..I'm a Filipino but I haven't been in any of those places yet..lol..The best place I went is Pagudpud Beach and Baguio...Hope to visit some of those you featured here when I come home for vacation...Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I hope you can see more of the beautiful places :))

INTRAMUROS

Its a nice place and peacefull in the buzy City of Manila. You can see the golf cours from the walls of the fortress.
Its impressive to visit the house Jose Risal spend his last days before he was executed by the Spanish.

When you have time go to Dipolog, near Dakak you find the place Risal lived. Its now a monumentual area.

The house in this area was used for fil shooting in the tagalog movie Jose Risal

I come there not just for recreation. I feel the glow and the nourishment of my skin when I stayed there for a week. The minerals maybe. It could be healthful.
