Travel in the Philippines
The Philippines is a wondrous, magical place. With over 7,000 islands, you could spend a lifetime there and never begin to see it all. With that in mind, here are three places to visit when you embark on your Philippines adventure.
Metropolitan Manila
The Philippines capital, Manila, is a center of all things in the country. Many call it a city by the bay. Sure, it's humid and congested, but you can find whatever you seek here. It's a shopper's paradise.
And if you want to get close to a loved one, spend some time soaking up the sunset at Manila Bay.
Corregidor Island
It's a tadpole-shaped island where heavy fighting took place during WWII. If you love history, take some time to visit this jewel of a place. It's where Gen. MacArthur said, "I shall return."
You can still see the remains of the war-battle barracks and canyons used to fight.
Rizal Park
If you find yourself in Metro Manila, take a journey to it's heart. There you'll find beautiful Rizal Park, which is 148 acres. It's named after Dr. Jose Rizal, who was a national hero in the Philippines.
Everyone, from families to lovers, enjoy the park. I'd recommend taking a ride on the calesa, which a horse-drawn carrage made of wood. This park has playgrounds, fountains, concert area and gardens. It's worth checking out.
No matter where you go in the Philippines, beauty and fun are at your fingertips. These three places are just a small sampling of what makes the Philippines such a great place to visit.
