Nice advice. Very informative. But foreign tourists might also be interested in seeing tropical mountains, cliffs along crashing shores, rice terraces, hanging coffins, cultural dances, historical buildings and towns. For these, the Philippines is not just islands and beaches. It's so much more. 🙂

Hello from Outback Australia. We really appreciate these tips, as we are visiting Philippines later in the year. All the best.

Perfect timing is December till April, so avoid the snow in the UK while being in the beach. Cost, well compared to the UK, everything is 10x cheaper! Makes sense to live here part of the year! And the people are kind, English speaking!

The best months ti be in the Philippines is April May June. This is the flowering and fruiting season. There is abundance of mangoes, papayas, bananas, soursop, and some other types of fruits you havent seen

Thank you for the time and effort you took to make this amazing video which is important to me as I’m travelling to the Philippines on the 27th this month. I’m meeting my fiancé at Manila airport and we will stay a week in Manila and then get a two day ferry ride to iligan city where we will be living, actually just outside in Lanao Del Norte, 10 minutes away from the beautiful waterfalls. ❤ oh yes and I’m also from the UK 🇬🇧 Norwich city 😉

I don't agree with the hotels... I stayed 3 nights in a luxury flat for £52.. depends where you go, I suppose? This stay was in Baguio, which I HIGHLY recommend any tourist to go!! ❤❤
