There are [53] stories and [538] photos from Philippines
With a reputation for being chaotic and corrupt, the Philippines has something of an image problem. But most who make the journey to the 7000-odd islands that comprise the Philippines are pleasantly surprised by their beauty and by the friendliness of the people.
Most of the Philippines is laidback, stable and relatively safe. The locals are an exceptionally helpful bunch and there are fantastic reefs and fish. On top of this, transport is cheap, the food is good, accommodation is plentiful and (for the monolinguistic) English is widely spoken.

Det fortelles om sjørøvere, fergeulykker, gerilja og terrorister. Det er kanskje ikke så rart at verdensmedias overskrifter holder potensiell turisme unna. Men Filippinenes mest ustabile region er stor, og den som våger en kikk vil bli sjenerøst belønnet.... Read more >
