The Captivating Paradise PhilippinesThe Philippines is truly a paradise. Indeed, a Paradise Philippines. There are so many exciting unique things to do and see that is incomparable to what the rest of the world can offer. My Dutch friend would always tell me that, “In the Philippines, there are so many surprises!”.

The Philippines is divided into three major island groups, Luzon in the north, the Visayas and Mindanao in the south. Manila is the country’s capital and the heart of the commerce, economic, social and cultural activity. It is the main channel of international trade and commerce.

The country has a vast land area of almost 300,000 SQ KM consisting of 7,107 nature-rich islands, bounty of fascinating mountains rich with gold and ore, of emerald isles ringed with white sanded beaches, of forests alive with wondrous greens, of fertile lands, spectacular sunsets and temperate climates. A world class destination for tropical adventures and exciting getaways.

Philippines are marked by a true mix of cultures. The main background of the Filipino people is Malay, along with some Chinese and Spanish ancestry. The history of American rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of east and west, both in the appearance and culture of the Filipino people.

Hospitality is most present in every Filipino, a trait of warm welcome. In major cities and towns all over the country, first-class accommodations and facilities, modern shopping centers, an endless selection of Filipino and international cuisines conspire to make the visitor feel perfectly at home.

The country of 80 million loving Filipinos has over a hundred ethnic groups speaking a variety of languages and a mixture of foreign influences which have molded a unique Filipino culture. A splendid tradition of warm hospitality will welcome any visitor to Paradise Philippines where fun, natural beauty, and adventure are never ending.
