When friends ask me why they should
visit the Philippines, I always say because of the people. The country has more
than 7000 islands that contain amazing beaches, mountains, waterfalls and
springs, but one thing is constant: the Filipino hospitality. We’re a lively
and happy bunch who always smile and welcome anyone who visits. You’ll have to
experience the Philippines to know what I’m talking about.
Boracay was once considered the most idyllic
island in the world and awarded as Best Island in the World by the International travel magazine in 2012. Moreover, it was once notoriously known as a party island with events
like La Boracay truly be mesmerized by the powdery white sand beach & crystal blue water.
However, due to an
overabundance of tourists and mounting sewage problems, the most famous of the
Philippines islands was closed in April 2018 for a six-month period of repair
and restoration. Boracay is scheduled to officially reopen to domestic and
international tourists on 26 October, but many say it is still recovering and
needs more time before travelers return. As a well-traveled Filipina who loves her country, I can assure you
that the Philippines has so much more to offer. With more than 7000 Philippines
islands, you’ll need at least a year to explore every bit of this amazing
archipelago. Consider this place as a must see beach here in the South, less overrun, more cost-effective – and just as beautiful as Boracay!
T'was many years ago during my last visit but the reason why I am writing about this lovely island is truly to revive not only in my memory the beauty and
majesty of the place, but most especially the island itself as it heals and bring back
to life!
