Taking Holidays in the Philippines is sure to excite any member of your family. Looking for something completely different and out of the ordinary, but at the same time, a destination where you are sure to feel safe and secure with your family?
You definitely should take a closer look at the Philippines!

Holidays in the Philippines - Gateway to Your Tropical Retreat

Getting to the Philippines is 'very easy'. There are a wide variety of airlines offering flights to 'Manila'. As well, there are a few airlines now introducing flights to 'Cebu'. This is the Philippines most Southern International Airport. There are at least eight major airlines that regularly fly in and out of the Philippines.
Since the flight from North America into the Philippines can be 'extremely long', you should consider spending a night or two in Manila before continuing your travel to your selected destination.

Manila - The Perfect Stop Over City

This City makes for a great stop over both before and upon returning home from your family vacation. Manila is filled with great venues for music, dancing, and ocean front dining.

Boracay Island - The Tropical Paradise of the Philippines

One destination you should consider for your family holidays in the Philippines is Boracay Island. This island resort is located on a small island just off of Iloilo, located to the south of Manila and the large island of Luzon. The easiest and most convenient way to reach Boracay is with a short airplane flight. You can fly from Manila to Kalibo. Flights take about 45 minutes, followed by a 90 minute car ride, and a short 10 minute boat ride.
The other option is to fly in to Caticlan, the flight time is the same, but you will only be 20 minutes away from Boracay Island. You will have a 10 minute car ride plus a 10 minute boat ride.

There are presently two airlines to choose from:

1. SeAir
2. Asian Spirit Air Lines

Travel Requirements for Your Holidays in the Philippines

There are a few great advantages to enjoying your holidays in the Philippines. One of these advantages is language. Many tropical destinations, especially in Asia, are not in countries where English is considered a requirement in the schools. Most Filipinos understand English very well, with a high percentage of the population being very fluent in English.
For an American or Canadian, traveling to the Philippines is very easy. You receive an automatic 21 day tourist visa by simply presenting your passport. If you intend to stay longer you can pay a small fee for a visa extension. There are no extra travel documents required for your holiday stay in the Philippines.

The final advantage is the price!

You will discover the cost of services and many items to be 'very low' compared to other tropical destinations. Prices at some luxury resorts will be comparable to other international destinations, but as you head out to enjoy the Philippine culture you will uncover amazing bargains.

This is one holiday adventure you and your family will talk about for years! From all inclusive vacations to island hide a ways, the Philippines are sure to have something special to offer you and your family.

Family holidays to the Philippines are certainly worth a second look!
Happy travels!

The Melting Pot in the Philippines Called Baguio City

The city of Baguio is a popular tourist destination in the north of the Philippines. Surrounded by a lush trapical rainforest it is a beautiful place to visit.



Baguio City in the Philippines became a chartered city over 100 years ago on September 1st 1909. Before that, the Kankanaeys and the Ibalois were the natives inhabiting the city which was then called bag-iw that translated to English means moss. This was because the Baguio that we know now as an highly urbanised city built in a tropical rain forest was once covered with moss and a prolific amount of natural resources.



When the Americans arrived in 1900 and built the highways which connected the city to the lowlands, people started to hear about its incredible beauty and the hidden paradise on top of the mountains. Since then, Baguio City has become well known all over the country as the summer capital of the Philippines and is now a popular tourist destination for visitors from the lowlands and particularly in the summer when the population generally doubles. Tourism has become one of Baguio's main industries, attracting both local and foreign tourists.



There are a lot of people who have chosen to settle in the city due to its mild climate and magnificant surroundings. It may not be obvious but despite Baguio being named a city, the cost of living is still significantly lower compared to the other urban areas in the Philippines. The large numbers of people who have settled in the city from far and wide lead to a really good mix of cultures. Various ethno linguistic groups from all over the country can be found in Baguio. People coming from all over the world have decided to settle and make a living in the fascinating city of Pines. Different cultures, languages and social statuses find refuge in the city known as Baguio, making it seem like a melting pot of all walks of life.



Being called a melting pot, the various cultures that have come to emerge in the city sometimes seem to have blended into one. Though Ilocano is known as the lingua franca of the city, English is still widely used along with Filipino. With this, everybody is able to understand each other no matter what nationality or ethno linguistic group a person belongs to. The people are accommodating, honest and helpful resulting in the inhabitants of the city getting along very well with each other which makes Baguio City feel warm and welcoming to it's visitors.



Different cultures with different origins, the people of Baguio have surely expanded to accommodate everybody. Though this may be the case, the original inhabitants of the city once known as bag-iw are still its major occupants. With all the other cultures dominating, the Kankanaeys and Ibalois should never be neglected for all that they have done. They have been here long enough to know the city from every angle and surely have preserved their culture through all these years. Baguio City: the place where you find people from every aspect of life.

can my philippine girlfriend come to the uk for a holiday?

Answer is yes but
She will need a tourist visa issued by the British consulate in Manila.
that's the hard bit.
Entry clearance officers are less than helpful in the issuing of visas, and she will need correct documentation.
She will also need to prove that she intends to return to the philippines under the conditions of any visa issued.
There are many different documents that you will need to supply, and she may face a difficult interview.
many genuine people are refused a visa for no apparent reason, and there is no right of appeal against a refusal for a visitors visa.
it would also be a good idea for you to be present at the consulate when she makes her application

the natural resources of the Philippines is not as well as developed as other countries w/ less resources,why?

The Philippine is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands. The Philippine Holiday will be in the most diverse country in Asia with many different types of experiences available.

One major cause of our country’s problems is our country’s syndicate. Instead of using our own resource to produce other materials, they take the resource of our country and sell it to other countries, which have nothing in return to us but more problems. One of those problems is the destruction of rain forests which causes erosion and the lack of homes of our animals.

You ask why other countries are with less resource more developed than us. It’s because that they put use to their resources wisely. They produce a new material using only the same resource; and in addition, they maximize the use of their resource even though they know that they have limited amounts of resource. We on the other hand put waste to our resources. We rely on the technologies given to us by other countries. We allow them to take our resource in exchange for their technology.

Another problem is that we do not know how to use our resources properly or in what way. We only collect our resource to sell it to other countries hoping we could get a greater amount of money. But what we don’t know is that our resources have much more value than how much the other countries pay to us.

This is a problem that even now still exists. If only we knew how to use our resources to the maximum and spend it wisely. Maybe then will only our country be more productive and at the same time more developed than other countries, don’t you agree?

Cebu City Charter Day was declared as Regular Public Holiday, what does it mean?

I am confused about the Regular Holiday to Regular Public Holiday here in the Philippine. Can someone tell me what's the big difference between these two holidays? Please, thank you.

Regular holiday which means it is implemented nationwide ex. may 1 labor day...while what they call as Regular Public Holiday like Cebu City Charter Day pertains to a designated place which only applies for cebu city only not including mandaue city or any other specific place for example....thats my opinion about it....:-)
