I find it very interesting how much Filipinos have embraced Korean culture, especially our music and fashion. I always enjoy watching YouTube videos of Pinoy dancers doing their cover of KPop groups
I have to admit that when I first came to the Philippines, I did not really like Pinoy food. 5 years later, I am not addicted to adobo, kare-kare and sinigang! Haha
You Filipinos are so lucky! You have almost 8,000 beautiful islands to explore and each one has its own unique beauty to offer. I can’t wait to visit them all!
I love the Philippines and it’s people. I love the weather, the food and the night life. The only thing I don’t like is the traffic.
As a Korean living in the Philippines, I have grown to love this country and consider it my second home. I love the warmth not just of the weather but of the people as well.
Although I absolutely love Palawan, I’m thinking of going north of Manila this year. I hear Batanes is such a lovely place as well. I can’t wait to visit that place
OMG! I have been to Palawan at least 5 times and just falls in love with the place even more each time.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.
