Traveling to the Philippines is a One of a Kind Life Experience

Hello. Welcome to my country - the Philippines! I want to promote the Philippines, not just because I am a Filipino who lives here, but because the Philippines is a country that is so welcoming, so beautiful, and so diverse in a lot of ways.
