Is the Philippines Worth Visiting?

Sadly, there are people who believe that the Philippines is not worth going to or visiting. Let me enumerate the reasons Man of Wonders gave as to why you should not visit the Philippines.

First, he said, the islands are too many to explore. He said that these islands are too many to explore and there is no point because most travelers do not want too much variety I the place he goes to. He says going around the Philippines is too tedious for most people.

Next, he says that the structures are terrible and old. He criticizes the old buildings because since we are in the 21st century, we should expect better infrastructure and not old and broken buildings. He then says that the country is very hot and you better have to have a lot of sunscreen. Next, he takes a swipe against the beautiful land formations such as the chocolate hills and Mayon volcano and how ugly they look. He also says that the transportation is terrible because we are using these outdated “awful looking stainless steel metals on the roads called ‘Jeepney’ instead.”, as compared to Mercedes Benz or Volkswagen taxis. He also said that the tourist attractions are not interesting because these are all common things around the world, like beaches and rivers.

Next, he also noted how little the options are for adrenaline junkies to find adventurous stuff. Next, after saying the roads are not that good, he says that the heavy vehicle traffic is terrible. He also states that some roads get crowded because there is a festival going on. As a joke, he says that people who love to play charades with locals in Asia who do not speak English will have a different experience in the Philippines because many people are fluent in English. And as a final statement, he says to never go to the Philippines because you might never want to leave. Wait, what? Yes, you might not want to leave. Apparently, the writer had a change of heart and wanted to actually recognize the beauty of the Philippines.

Well, I guess the country is so beautiful that we tend to fall in love with it even if we have negative views about it. MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!!!
