Halika! Biyahe Tayo!

Never been to the Philippines?  Here are some reasons you might consider it.

Mt Mayon, Bicol.  Mt Mayon is believed to have the most perfectly formed cone of any volcano in the world.

Chocolate Hills, Bohol.

From Wikipedia.

The Chocolate Hills is an unusual geological formation in Bohol, Philippines. It is composed of around 1,268 perfectly cone-shaped hills of about the same size, spread over an area of more than 50 kilometers². They are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season, hence the name.

Rice Terraces in Banaue.  Thought to be over 2,000 years old.

As the locals say, “Halika!  Biyahe Tayo” (Come one! Let’s Travel)

    I am doing a report on Filipino-Americans for my Elder Law class; may I use some of these photos to justify why my Fil-Am elder is wanting to go home?

    Thanks.

  14. Sure, Lori. Use any and all fotos that you like. I just like to see the RP promoted. I hope you do well on your report. :-)

  15. Thanks for posting Philippine pictures. It is my country of birth. I still consider it home although I have been away for 20 years. I do go home regularly, the next one being December. I going to Boracay for the 4th time! ;)

    Minor correction: Republika ng Pilipinas ;) You have it as PiliApinas.

    I am compiling pictures of Philippine beaches, so I hope you won’t mind me using some of your pictures, especially of Cebu. I was in Cebu predigital age and I have lost most of the printed copies of my pictures. Thanks.
