Getting around

Did you know?

Its made up of 7,100 islands, the largest being Luzon where its capital city, Manila is located. The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world. Its the largest Catholic nation in Asia. There are a few gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage Site locations of nature and heritage value. One of the worlds top island destinations is Boracay in the Philippines.

Rich Culture and Stunning Architecture

Youll be rendered speechless while marvelling at the sheer sight of imposing cathedrals, fusions of architectural designs and quaint remnants of the good old colonial era! This unique mix of influences stems from centuries of being occupied by the Spanish, Americans, Japanese and other ethnic races who came to call this splendid land home. Be part of its amazing cultural heritage and youll feel richer than King Midas.

Local Filipino
You know whats interesting? The pre-war, pre-colonisation traditional Filipino house or bahay kubo and its architecture. Its all made from natural local resources! For example, the roof is made from Nipa leaves; and the structure and flooring from bamboo and wood. These evolved to sturdier homes made of stone or bahay na bato with certain interior arrangements preserved such as elevated apartments and open ventilation. The newer homes also come with tiled roofs, wide windows and arcades with a mix of Spanish, Filipino and Chinese architectural designs. Great examples of these structures can still be found in abundance at Vigan, Ilocos Sur and Taal. Remember to bring your camera and an empty memory card!

 Historical Towns
When you venture to the north of Luzon, guide yourself to Ilocos Sur province where the very well preserved Historic Town of Vigan is one of Philippines UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Its really a throwback to the colonial era! Calesa horse-drawn carriages trotting along cobblestone streets with preserved Spanishstyle buildings dotting the rustic landscape makes this a cool way to spend your vacation time. Each island in this vast archipelago has awe-inspiring buildings and towns like Intramuros in Manila and Taal in Batangas that have survived the test of time, so do try to explore every interesting nook and cranny.

American Footprint
Basketball, hotdogs, suburban-style buildings and countless others, all post-American colonisation influences which are very much embedded in the Filipino culture and structural design today. You can expect bustling cities like Manila to have the latest in architectural designs influenced by modern America, although during the American colonial era the designs were very much Neoclassical and some have been restored to their former glory. So, go ahead. Explore!

Spanish Legacy
Heres something you cant miss while walking along any street in the Philippines - the magnificent Baroque architecture. Its everywhere! On cathedrals that look more like massive fortresses such as the imposing, made-ofpure-steel Basilica of San Sebastian, on every possible Spanish-era building survivor and even on the exclusive Forbes Park houses. Marvel at other architectural wonders listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sitethe overwhelming Baroque facade at the Church of the Immaculate Conception of San Agustin in Manila, the Church of Nuestra Seora de la Asuncion in Santa Maria, the Church of Santo Tomas de Villanueva in Miag-ao and the Church of San Agustn in Paoay.

SCENIC NATURE AND THRILLING ADVENTURE

Eco-lovers and adventurers, take heed. Beware of completely falling head over heels with the Philippines while viewing awe-inspiring landscapes, exploring tough terrains, discovering exotic flora and fauna and being mesmerised by its deep blue abyss. Yes, this rippling archipelago is Mother Natures playground and youll be surprised at how this piece of paradise is unknown to many. So read on and get acquainted with euphoria.

Enchanting nature
Rainforests carpet most of the Philippines so exploring such thriving greenery is normally part of anyones itinerary. Theres the option of cruising along the mangroves at Bakhawan Eco-Park in Kalibo, where nature trails await you within an arboretum cocoon of tranquillity. Or head over to places of nature, historical and preservation value all in one place if you choose to marvel at the Tabon Cave Complex in Palawan in which remains of 50,000 year-old Homo sapiens were discovered. See turtles at the laidback Tawi-Tawi Turtle Island Sanctuary and be stumped speechless when the rolling Chocolate Hills (therere more than one thousand of these hills!) in Bohol come into view. Not to be left out is the man-made wonder of the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras in northern Luzon. Dating back to more than a thousand years, it is a picture of human resilience and amazing beauty. On the other hand, the purely natural Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park at Palawan has water formations and dense forests that have a huge biodiversity in terms of plants and animals. Both of these locations of indescribable splendour are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Challenging mountains with spectacular lakes

You may have heard of Mount Pinatubo in Pampanga, where calderas are filled with the bluest colour of water forming one of the most astonishing volcanic lakes in the Philippines. Or maybe its the geological wonder of the volcanowithin-a-lake-within-a-volcano of Taal in Batangas that sets your heart racing whenever the name is mentioned. These occasionally antsy giants (active volcanos) are both popular with those who desire refuge with nature and with the adrenalineseekers as youll be completely bewildered when youre surrounded by clusters of emerald and pools of sapphire. Add the extinct Mount Arayat volcano in Pampanga to this equation and youre all set!

Sea Havens
Be it under water or on its surface, shimmering cerulean seas of the Philippines bring about spectacular islands and an endless foray of splashing good times. The most phenomenal of them all is the Tubbataha Reefs National Park in the Central Sulu Sea. Atolls, magnificent reefs, lagoons, marine and animalrelated ocean life are at their prime here, as evident in its listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a taste of everything island, Boracay (off the coast of Kalibo), IGaCos (The Island Garden City of Samal, off the coast of Davao), Bacuit Bay (off El Nido) and Apo Reef National Park in the Occidental Mindoro waters have it in droves! Its time for that long-overdue parasailing, getting that perfectly bronzed body, absorbing in that Ivealways-wanted-to-read-it book or exploring Neptunes vast marine kingdom. Bring out your inner daredevil and skim the waters surface in Aurora. Its surfs up as this surfers paradise becomes home to literally a sea of sixpack torsos, colourful surf boards, dude in every sentence and hip-hanging board shorts during October to February.

Indigenous Food
Travellers have claimed that you can never say youve been to a country until youve tried the traditional, local fare. How true this is! Some may seem bizarre, even to the point of churning your stomach but generally nothing is how it seems. But once the emulsion of flavours hits your palate, mmmmmis the only thing you can say. Sample the yummy Halo-Halo (a dessert made of shaved ice and sweet condiments), Sinigang (tamarindbased meat stew), Chicken Tinola (chicken stew), Kare-Kare (stewed oxtail in thick peanut sauce) and of course, Balut (fertilised duck embryo). Go on, try them all!

Spanish Cuisine and Influences

What the Spanish conquistadors left behind after more than 300 years of rule is their aromatic, rich and intensely flavourful cuisine. Its cuisine that has been notably acknowledged to be the best in Asia and youd be remiss in your tummy-indulging duties if you didnt at least dig into a Paella (saffron rice with seafood and chicken), Chicken Relleno (stuffed chicken) or those delicious sugared Ensaymadas (brioches). Not to be left out are Spanish-influenced dishes which are household staples such as Adobo (vinegar-infused stew) that will make your day complete.

Glorious Food

Halal Food
Looking for a halal (kosher) meal or restaurant can sometimes be daunting but worry not, there are some of these eateries scattered in and around Metro Manila. Most Muslim-dominated areas like Mindanao will have loads of restaurants with halal fare, although its recommended for you to ask around just to be sure.

American
Fast-food, steaks and every hearty American dish imaginable can be found everywhere even when youre not looking. Juicy burgers, hot dogs, crunchy salads and how-my-mamaused-to-make pies are food legacies which some locals just cant do without! This shows how much impact food can have in a society.

Chinese
Well, that says a lot about the mouth watering, deeplyflavoured cuisine of multi-cultural Philippines. The heavenly scents that waft from restaurants and street vendors will sure to entice your taste buds till you drool. There are also exotic forms of food types that will take you on a wondrous gastronomic adventure, so hop on! Kick-start your Filipino morning with something hot and soul assuaging like Dim Sum (bite-sized Chinese food served in small steamer baskets) or Siopao (steamed bun with meat filling). Thanks to Chinese traders and settlers (mainly of Fukien descent) who introduced their huge array of delectable cuisine, you can easily find Lumpia (egg roll with meat and vegetable filling), Dumplings and plenty more. Fusion dishes are expected in cross-cultural Philippines like Pancit (noodles with meat, seafood and vegetable), Arroz Caldo (scrumptious rice porridge) and Silog (garlic fried rice with egg and other variations). Your tummy must be rumbling right now.

Filipino food was prepared by Malay settlers, spiced by Chinese traders, stewed in 300 years of Spanish rule and hamburgered by American influence. ~ Monina A. Mercado
