Philippines – an archipelago on the eastern edge of Asia that’s made
up of 7, 107 islands. If you’re a tourist who just got to the Philippines,
congratulations – you’re in paradise! However, if it’s really your first time,
chances are you don’t know what you’ll do first, right?
Planning your Philippinetravel ahead of time will free you from the troubles of having to wonder
what to do, on the spot. If you can't think of anything, here’s a list of the
things you can do in the Philippines:
1. TRY SCUBA-DIVING
Philippine waters are simply amazing and one-of-a-kind. One dive and
you’ll see the wonders of the underwater world. You can see different coral
reefs, and even shipwrecks from World War II. Always remember to wear your gear
first before submerging yourselves in water.
In addition to seeing coral reefs and shipwrecks, you can also swim
with the sharks and other fishes as well. To better remember this moment,
better take your underwater camera with you.
2. WATCH TWO ROOSTERS DUKE IT OUT
Cock fighting has been part of Philippine tradition for a very long
time. Whenever you visit a village in the Philippines, you’ll oftentimes see
people gathering around to see two roosters fight.
If you’re the kind of person who thinks this is animal cruelty,
don’t. This is just a part of Philippine tradition and has been around for a
very long time.
3. ROAM THE STREETS INSIDE A JEEPNEY
If you see funny-looking vehicles on the streets in the Philippines,
they're likely jeepneys. The jeepney is one of the most used forms of Philippine
transportation. You could say tour Philippine experience is incomplete without
riding this to get to another place. Better buckle up for a bumpy ride ahead.
4. EAT LOCAL FOOD
Now, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. The Philippines
has a lot of food that you’ve never tasted anywhere before. Although some of
the foods don't have local origins, you can see and taste that Filipinos placed
their own special touch to these delicacies. Best to start with adobo
before anything else.
These are just some suggestions for your Philippine vacation experience. You can freely follow all of these
if it’s your first time in the country. But let me tell you this: once you’ve
tried them out, you’ll want to try them all over again.
