i was born in the philippines but have lived in uk since puberty. my husband is british and he didn't know what to expect when he first visited the country. both of us didn't really like manila coz of the traffic but aside from that, nothing really negative to comment about it. in shops, they always go for my husband instead of me and that drove him mad coz it happens although he'd jwalked in. never mind! but..........the countrysideand the beaches, can't fault it even if some were a bit over crowded with tourists. great value for money and nicer atmosphere for sure. when in manila, can't miss going to greenbelt...........absolutely lovely place and restaurants serve goergous food, yummy.......my husband's been 5x already and he still likes it and we had our wedding in manila! he adores diving in cebu, bohol and boracay.
