Why we like it
The Philippines is an archipelago in South-East Asia of more than seven thousand islands located between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea at the very eastern edge of Asia. Many wonderful beaches are just part of one of the world’s longest coastlines and it takes about 20 years to spend a day on every island.
