About Philippines
The Philippines! Home to fantastic beaches and some of the world’s greatest biodiversity.

Getting to know local people and making new friends is one of the most rewarding things about visiting the Philippines.
“Life is better in The Philippines” is a phrase you often hear travellers say and when a bottle of rum is only $2, we can see why!
