Philippines tourism can be considered as the country’s comparative advantage and this is the reason why the government puts great effort in promoting the tourism industry. The country is archipelagic and located in the Pacific Ocean and this is one reason why the tourism is a hit in the country.

The Philippines has been blessed with stunning natural resources made more appealing by its distinctive culture which in turn was influenced by many foreign cultures. Spain, Latin America and the United States have all contributed in its little ways to help make the Filipino culture what it is right now.

The tourism in the country is booming thanks to its natural resources scattered in all parts of the country and also to its unique Filipino identity. The tourism in the Philippines began stepping up in the 1970s and this lasted until the mid 1980s. After that time, tourist arrivals in the country started to slow down. An indicator that the country’s tourism business is on the move down is on the average stay each of the tourist in the country. By 1988, the average stay of a tourist in the country is 8.9 days. This figure is significantly lower than the registered 12.6 days in previous years. But this scenario for the country didn’t last since by 1990s, the sector once again peaked with around 1.2 million tourist arrivals for 1992. This jolt in the arrival of visitor in the country has gave the Department of Tourism a more optimistic outlook and allowed for the Department to say that they anticipate more tourist arrivals in the future.

By the year 2000, the tourist arrivals in the Philippines totaled 2.2 million and this was pushed to 2,838,000 by 2003. The Philippine archipelago is known for many sights, sounds and festivals and these are some of the reasons why the tourism industry in the country is a hit.

From Metropolitan Manila to as far as the Northern provinces to the southern provinces of the country, there will always be a tourist spot that travelers and tourists will love.

. Metropolitan Manila. Intramuros in Manila and Makati City are known tourist draws. The Intramuros in Manila is called the ‘walled city of Manila’. This was built in the 1500s and originally the whole of Manila was confined within the areas of the walled city. But since the city has been growing exponentially, a number of buildings have been built outside the city. Right now, Intramuros is being visited due to its museums, churches and the old fort. Manila on the other hand is known for its vibrant night life. A nightlife and party scene that can rival those found in other Asian capitals. Other than Manila, Boracay and Cebu are also considered as party hotspots in the country. Makati is simply Manila in a modern way. Most modern amenities can be seen here- from shopping malls to major hotels and business centers.

. Aklan. This is one province in the Visayas region and considered as one of the most visited provinces in the country. Aklan is known for its ‘Ati-Atihan Festival that is hosted in Kalibo.

. Bohol. This province in the Visayas region is known for its ‘Chocolate Hills’. These are limestone hills that look like ‘chocolate hills from afar. The province is also the home of the Philippine Tarsier, which is considered as one of the smallest primates in the world.

. Northern Philippines. The Northern Philippines is famous also because of its many tourist spots. One popular destination is Mt Pinatubo known for its massive eruption that happened in 1991. The Hundred Islands is another place worth visiting. The Banaue Rice Terraces are known for its beauty too- rice terraces that are carved from the mountainside. This is a UNESCO world heritage site. A visit to the northern provinces of the country will not be complete without checking the ‘Hanging Coffins’ of Sagada.

. Taal Volcano in Laguna is worth checking too, and this is considered as one of the smallest volcano in the world.

. Palawan. This is a province and an island located in the South China Sea and known for its beaches.

. Boracay. And speaking of beaches, Boracay is one spot worth visiting.

There are a number of great tourist spots in the country and since the country is archipelagic in nature, some of the adventure that can be experienced by the tourists will be mostly water-based. Philippine tourism activities and festivals are often concentrated on some of the best surfing and diving sites in the country.

The City of Cebu Philippines is the oldest and one of the most developed provinces in the country, the educational and commercial center of the Visayas area. The official language of Cebu is Cebuano, though its natives are also proficient in English, Tagalog and other Visayan languages. Roman Catholic is predominant, followed by several religious minorities such as Protestant churches, Taoists, Latter-Day Saints, Muslims, etc.

Cebu lies on the east of Negros Island. It also has Bohol in the southeast and Leyte in the east. It is enveloped by the straits of Cebu and Tanon and is located between 9deg25′N and 11deg15′N latitude and between 123deg13′E and 124deg05′E longitude in the center of the archipelago, approximately 365 miles south of Manila. Through air travel, it can be reached by about an hour.

This long narrow island of Cebu stretches 225 km or 140 miles from north to south. It is surrounded by 167 smaller islands like Mactan island, Bantayan, Daanbantayan, Malapascua, Olango and the Camotes Islands. For the most part, Cebu has rolling hills and rugged mountain ranges traversing the northern and southern lengths of the island.

The native people of Cebu are called Cebuanos. Most descended from Austronesians and some have Spanish and Chinese ancestry. Cebuano culture has preserved strong Hispanic traditions in its native culture. Contemporary music, movies, fastfoods and the wide use of English are dominant influences from Americans. Cebu takes pride in being the country’s oldest colonial city. In April 14, 1521, Magellan planted a large wooden cross that commemorates the archipelgo’s first encounter with the west. From mainland Cebu, Magellan crossed the channel to the island of Mactan in an effort to spread Christianity. The chieftain of Mactan, Lapu-lapu, together with his warriors, resisted the attempt and killed Magellan as he reached the shore. A monument now marks the historical site.

Cebu has, in recent years, become a model for independent industrial development. It is a busy capital, next to Manila, in comercial activity and cosmopolitanism. Shipping is a chief industry in Cebu. Manufacturing of processed foods, textiles, and chemicals are among other industries in the city. When it comes to rattan furniture Cebu is considered a world center for production. It is well known as the guitar producing capital of the Philippines. The guitar-making industry is centered in Maribago and Abuno on Mactan island, where a day’s production includes at least a hundred assorted instruments including mandolins, banjos and string basses.

Cebu Philippines is well known for its sun-drenched, white sand beaches and year-round tropical climate. In terms of accommodation, a good range of beach resorts from mid-priced to luxury is concentrated on Mactan Island. Mactan upholds the still unblemished allure of the quite uncongested countryside.

Off the northwestern tip of Cebu Island is Bantayan Island, now becoming popular among venturesome beach fanciers with a taste for excellent soft shell crabs. One the southwest coast, Moalboal, about three hours overland from cebu, has been a haven for scuba-diving enthusiasts as well as budget trallers, earning a reputation among some as “the Philippines’ best-kept secret.”

About the Philippines: The Philippines is an archipelago in Southeast Asia composed of more that 7,100 islands. Many of the volcanic islands that constitute the archipelago are isolated. The 11 largest islands namely Luzon, Masbate, Mindoro, Palawan, Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Samar, Negros, Panay, and Mindanao, account for more than 94% of the total land area.

The topography is generally hilly, rising to a high point of about 3 kilometers at Mount Apo, a volcano in the island of Mindanao. Luzon and Mindanao islands only have wide lowland areas. There are various dormant and active volcanos, particularly Mount Pinatubo in Central Luzon, which made a big noise in 1991.

Wildlife incorporates the carabao (water buffalo), monkeys, reptiles, and tropical birds. There are rich deposits of gold, lead, manganese, silver, nickel, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron ore and coal and an excellent hydroelectric and geothermal power impending. Volcanic steam provides an increasing factor of the nation’s power supply demands.

There are two distinct seasons, the Dry and the Wet. The dry season is somewhere between the month of March to June whereas the wet season is from the month of July to October. The period in between is neither too hot nor too wet for comfort. Humidity is relatively high, about 80%. The climate is warm but healthy. It was considered that it is one of the most favorable tropical climates all over the world.

The mean annual lowland temperature is about 27°C (80°F). Temperatures fluctuate more between day and night and high and low altitudes than between seasons.

The Filipino people is a mixture of races. Racially, most Filipinos are a mixture of Malaya and Mongoloid races, with some mixture of Chinese, Indian, Arab, Spanish, and American elements. The Spanish expression ‘mestizo’ is used to describe anyone of mixed blood.

Although the Filipino people speak a variety of languages and are spread across many islands, they have a rather high degree of cultural resemblance. The long fight for self-government, the utilize of Filipino (which is the national language) and English languages in the schools, the persuade of Christianity, and the rural-to-urban relocation have contributed to union. Least saturated are the Muslims of the south, the upland hill tribes, and recent Chinese immigrants.

Generally, Filipinos have these qualities: friendly, hospitable, devoted to family, respectful of authorities, devoted, sentimental and happy. They could easily adjust to new situations almost certainly because of the fact that they had been under several colonial rules in the past.

The Philippines art and culture is colourful and lively that distinguishes Filipinos from its Asian neighbors. This include traditions, language, and arts which are found in museums, churches, galleries, and within the heart of each and every Filipino. One word that best describes Philippine culture is diversity.

This diverse culture is due to the fact that the Philippines has been accessed through migrations and trade not only by its neighboring countries, but also by countries from all over the world. These countries have left their cultural influences on the Filipino people who in turn have passed these influences from generation to generation.

Puraran Beach, Catanduanes Island

Catanduanes Island lies in the Pacific Ocean just off Luzon and is one of the Philippines’ major surf venues. Puraran Beach’s white sand is very appealing, but currents can be dangerous in the surfing season. There are also other white sandy beaches like Pamangal Beach near San Andres town or Igang Beach.

More than the usual – this is how the Philippine is positioned in the tourism block. The country is an archipelago and known officially as the Republic of the Philippines. This archipelago is located in Southeast Asia and holds the distinction of being one of only two predominantly Christian countries in Asia. East Timor is the other country. There are around 7,107 islands in the country and these islands host around 90 million people. This population based on 2008 estimates makes the country as the 12th most populous country in the world. For the traveler interested to know more about the country, it should be learned that the country has around 11 million overseas Filipinos worldwide and these are the Filipinos who work in other countries and one of the main reasons why the economy of the country is competitive.

Based on 2008 estimates, the gross domestic product or the GDP of Philippines is hooked at over US$ 327.2 billion and this is considered as the 37th largest in the world. The name ‘Philippine‘ traces a long history. The name was taken after the name of King Philip II of Spain in the 16th century. It was the initiative of Ruy Lopez de Villalobos to use the name Las Islas Filipinas or the Philippine Islands as his name for the islands Leyte and Samar. And the utilize of this name was based and in honor of the Prince of Spain. An additional assessment of the name ‘Philippine’ will reveal that this has Greek roots and according to some historians this was the name of the father of Alexander the Great.

The country is divided geographically into three groups:
– Luzon
– Visayas
– Mindanao

And these three major island grouping is then sub-divided into 17 regions, another 81 provinces and 136 cities. The country also plays host to 1,494 municipalities and 41,995 barrios. The government also controls Sabah, North Borneo as asserted by Section 2 of the Republic Act Number 5446. Ecologically, the country is known as one of those countries which feature diverse flora and fauna. This feature of the country is one of the major reasons why the archipelago is one of the favorite places for travelers who seek to experience nature at its best. Another main reason why the country is always part of the list of preferred travel destinations is that the country is rich in natural resources and its scenic spots are panoramic and ready to comfort and to overwhelm the first-time visitors. The natural resources of the country are extensive and this can be seen in many areas like agriculture, forestry and minerals.

Talking about the archipelago is not complete without talking about its fertile and arable lands, the forests that host diverse flora and fauna and the panoramic coastlines. For those travelers willing to sample what the country has to offer over a limited amount of time, it is suggested that the interested traveler should focus on its culture, its beaches and its heritage. The unique Philippine culture will let the traveler experience the many festivals in the country- from Sinulog in Cebu to the Penafrancia Festival in the Bicol Region. The country has a number of festivals and these festivals will usually peak during April and May- the time for the country’s fiestas. Most of these festivals have links to the church and religious in nature.

Visiting the country without visiting some of its finest beaches is not suggested. Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands and with a coastline that is twice the length of United States, you can really expect that Philippines has indeed some of the best beaches in the world. Mere mention of the Philippine will remind images of white and fine beaches of Boracay, Palawan and some of the more not-so commercial yet striking sands of other beaches. Some names that should be part of the plans of the traveler include Pagudpud, Mactan Island and Panglao. And speaking of heritage, the country is home to Ifugao Rice Terraces which is now part of the UNESCO Heritage List in 1995. Aside from this rice terraces, Philippine also plays host also to many old churches- baroque churches in Metro Manila and these are all considered as heritage sites that carry the country’s culture and history.

Arrival at Amanpulo in the Philippines actually starts before you ever get there!! 

You are taken on arrival at Manila airport to the private Aman lounge prior to boarding the hotels own non-public twin prop aircraft which flies you directly to the resort.  That’s some style!! 

the 1st thing that happens on arrival is that you are given the grand tour of the resort, then was taken to your ‘casitta’/banda/villa. 

We were lucky enough to have a beach casitta, which stood only a short path away from what was nearly our own non-public beach, and what a beach.  Imagine white talcum powder as far as the eye can sea, backed by the most beautiful shades of turquoise and pale blue and green sea.  I presumed I’d seen the finest beaches in the world in the Seychelles – not so!! 

The casita has wall to wall windows, so the views of the water are completely spectacular. 

there is a king sized bed, a massive toilet with dressing area, separate shower and tub, all just A1. 

Outside there’s a large sun deck with 2 day beds and a hammock, and all totally private. 

You can add to this the most beautiful cotton robe for lying around in, amazing fluffy towels, toilet products, and fresh fruit each day. 

After all that it comes as barely a surprise to discover that the nosh was another feature of Ananpulo.  There’s an a la carte menu, daily specials, and in fact whatever you would like the chef will cook, and you can eat anywhere just about at any time.  A gastronomic paradise!! 

particularly notable was the beach club paella, and the B.B.Q.s. 

This isn’t a resort for folk who have to be entertained, with many activity being on or under the water, and then naturally there is the beach!! 

potentially the outstanding thing of all, was the incredible subtle and classy quality of service, rendering Amanpulo as one of the best resorts anywhere.

Most Filipinos would love to hear from their relatives or friends from the US.  Who won’t?  There’s just such a lot to tell and burning the lines would be one helluvah understatement if you are to make an international call to the Philippines.  This is because the Philippines is one of the most eventful places in the world right now.  See the news to prove this. 

Placing a world call could be a particularly wallet-pinching endeavor.  But this should not always be the situation.  There are countless ways to make a long distance call, particularly if the destination of your call is the Pearl of the Orient, the Philippines. 

here’s a rundown of proposals on a way to make that international call to the Philippines without shelling out much of your hard-earned dollars. 

one.  Watch out when buying call cards. 

many pre paid phonephone cards have hidden charges.  There could be a connection fee that would be about tantamount to getting ripped off especially when the card buyer makes a call and either the call is routed to a voice mailbox or to an ansaphone.  Connection fee deduction is mechanically done even when the caller did not say anything yet. 

Other telephone card hidden charges include service fee, maintenance fee, access number and long speaking fee.  The expiration date should also be checked. 

2.  Know what kind of phone will receive your call. 

it will not be smart to make a long distance call to any portable gadget.  The reason being because most of overseas carriers implement the’calling party pays’ system.  The tariff rate of an international wireless telephone may be a lot higher compared against a call made to a land-line in the same country. 

three.  Say no way to a telephone operator. 

When you elect to be aided by a telephone operator when placing an international call, you opt to pay significantly more .  Whenever possible choose to employ a dial-around service or dial direct. 

4.  Join up to a prepaid long distance plan. 

Various carriers offer this type of service to people who frequently place long distance calls.  Opt for those with flexible programs.  These plans work like phone cards but do not have fees and charges related to prepaid phonephone cards.  They usually have awfully low domestic and world rates 24/7 and call quality is generally wonderful.  One more thing about these pre-paid plans is the benefit of being able to use them when placing calls from any telephones be it cell telephones or public telephones. 

five.  Calling during non-business days or off-peak time will help you save. 

Make the most out of these privileges by checking on what your carrier offers.  Just make sure that it won’t be too much of an inconvenience to the recipient of your call. 

six.  Bad connections should be observed. 

Bad connections occur and the Philippines isn’t an exception to this bother.  When this occurs, take note of the time and the number you called.  Prepaid calling cards barely gives you credit for bad connections.  But if you made a global call using a standard long distance carrier, or pre-paid long distance plans, better check if you could be given credit for that call.  They always do. 

it would help if you print this info to be always reminded of the Do’s and do not’s when it comes to making an international call. 

With these easy tips, you do not need to worry when your phonephone bill arrives. 

ultimately, here’s the step by step process in calling the Philippines. 

a.  Dial 011, which is the world code

b.  Then, key in the Philippines’ country code, which is 63. 

c.  Now, dial the town area code where your your wife and youngsters are. 

Here are the major cities in the Philippines with their respective city area codes :

Angeles Luzon – 455

Bacolod – 34

Baguio – 74

Cebu – 32

Clarkfield, Pampanga – 45

In the Philippines, the term fast food is pretty much associated with the Jollibee brand.  It took more than just one man for it to become that way, but all it took to start was a person name Tony Tan Caktiong.  The humble beginning for Tony was working with his pa to operate a kitchen in Fujian, China.  In 1975, Tony commenced his entreprenuerial journey with simply 2 two ice cream parlors in Cubao, Quezon city. 

Despite his success with the ice cream parlors, Tony didn’t stop there.  He looked around the world and saw the kind of success chains like McDonalds were having.  Rather than opening a franchise for an existing fast food chain like Burger King or Wendy’s, he made a decision to expand with the opening of his own chain of hamburger-serving fast food restaurants named Jollibee in 1978. 

Since McDonald’s hadn’t yet entered into the Philippines, Tony capitalized on this fact by establishing his brand among the Filipino folk.  Instead of making an attempt to learn everything from the start, Tony traveled to the US to learn the tricks of the trade from the already established chains such as McDonalds.  By implementing these proven business practices back in the Phlippines, Tony’s tough work commenced to repay when his business began to rapidly expand.  The division of Jollibee Philippines really tries to serve the specific wishes of the Filipino folk and its culture by focusing its product development as well as its promoting and advertsing to target the unique and standard Filipino family. 

Today Tony Tan Caktiong serves as a success story and an idol for entreprenuers around the globe.  This was solified in 2004 when Tony was voted the entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young.  The boss man of Ernst and Young, James S.  Turley claimed,’These awards are about celebrating worldwide entrepreneurship and the will to continually innovate and expand.  Tony’s story is a truly inspiring one, on both these counts.  We are happy he has been selected to get this year’s award.’.
