Like most countries in Asia, the Philippines is a lively, vibrant, and fascinating place. I won’t attempt to give a comprehensive overview but rather share some photos and memories that I brought back with me. Food lovers would need a considerable amount of time to explore the endless culinary possibilities. Nature lovers could spend a lifetime exploring the numerous islands, hills, valleys, rivers, beaches, and diverse flora and fauna. Urban adventurers will be busy for a while before they can claim to have mastered the hustle and bustle of city life. As always, I hope the photos speak for themselves and require little explanation.
