Dishes to try: Lechon, spit-roast whole pig served with liver sauce; Adobo, pork, chicken or a combination of both, marinated in vinegar, soy sauce and garlic and stewed until tender; Kare-kare, meat and vegetables cooked with peanut sauce served with shrimp paste; Sinigang, pork, or seafood in tamarind soup; or the freshest seafoods— fish, squid, shrimp, lobsters— grilled to perfection.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Shopping in the Philippines is an experience both in bargain and variety. Most shopping places or Malls in Manila, Makati, Cebu and Davao virtually have everything that you will need— from designer western brands to items specifically designed for the tourist market. Around the country, specifically in city centers, Tiangges or the Filipino version of flea markets abound offering quality items at bargain prices. In Manila shop at the third largest mall in the world Mall of Asia, Robinson Place, Balikbayan Handicrafts, Tutuban Center Mall and at the San Andres Market (for fresh fruits and other produce). In Makati and its surrounding areas, shop at Greenbelt, Glorietta, Landmark Department Store, Greenhills Shopping Center, Megamall, Shangri-La Mall and at Tiendecitas. In Cebu, check out the Ayala Center, the Gaisano Malls, Robinson’s Place, SM City, and for native delicacies, fresh produce and fresh and dried seafood, go to the Carbon and Tabo-an Markets. In Davao, shop at Aldevinco Shopping Center (for fabrics, batik, carvings) Victoria Plaza, Gaisano Mall and at the New City Commercial Center department store. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">An experience not to be missed in flea market-shopping in the Philippines is the ”bargaining” where shoppers can buy items with big discount, depending on charm and good bargaining skills.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">hilippine culture is best experienced in events and activities that highlight what Filipinos are passionate about— faith, love for country, family, beautiful women, and celebrations. Filipinos love to celebrate, and there is no better way of celebrating than by having festivals: Ati-atihan in Kalibo, Aklan, January, the best and biggest in the country, it commemorates the feast of the Sto Nino with a week-long street party. Groups of dancers dressed as the aboriginal Atis, representing different communities from the city participate in the festive weeklong street party that highlights during the feast of the patron saint; Pahiyas in Lucban, Quezon. May 15, the annual harvest festival and feast of San Isidro Labrador. Witness the colourful display of kiping and other thanksgiving offerings hung in the houses that line the street where the procession of the image of the patron saint will pass. Giant papier-mache effigies join the parade to add to the spectacle of a celebration; Masskara Festival in Bacolod City, October, coinciding with the city’s charter day celebration, the festival features carnivals, fairs and a mardi gras-style parade by costumed and masked street dancers. There are as many festivals as there are towns in the Philippines and when you attend and enjoy a Filipino celebration, you come closer to understanding the culture of the people. </span></span></div>

Burot Beach - Calatagan Batangas

<p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are planning to go to a beach this summer and like a little bit of challenge, Burot Beach is the place for you. Known as Elizalde Beach before, but was recently bought by SMDC.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ZVEX0jlfWS3N-blIl2Nnb3Te6leyblU00oH6bx1-IxX24oz_SVXDvLpRUBq4odwvvEhap8iokpPHx9h8IqO_4Clxhnh2wt2lb8W0nE5MJfw2Rl1MZsyyMNHuOtnPB5O9lgyFqI2mM9Bu/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ZVEX0jlfWS3N-blIl2Nnb3Te6leyblU00oH6bx1-IxX24oz_SVXDvLpRUBq4odwvvEhap8iokpPHx9h8IqO_4Clxhnh2wt2lb8W0nE5MJfw2Rl1MZsyyMNHuOtnPB5O9lgyFqI2mM9Bu/s1600/4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why a little bit of challenge? If you are into beach camping this is the right place. Quiet and not so crowded.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Burot Beach is not yet developed and still unknown to many, you cannot find hotels or any accommodation here so bring your tents. There is a store that you can rent tents and buy other supplies but expect a higher price, it is better to bring all the things you need. The place still don't have electricity, so don't forget bring flashlights. There are also no restaurants or fast food here, you can bring gas stove or set up a bonfire to cook your foods, it is easy to find dried leaves and twigs in the area. and don't forget to bring drinking water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
The comfort rooms is a challenged too, they don't have enough personnel to maintain the cleanliness of that place, I can only see few caretakers there, I hope this year get better<span style="text-align: center;">. This is the only thing I didn't like in Burot, but I love the most of it.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a lot of outdoor activities here like boat riding, island hopping and snorkeling, the sand is not so white compared to Boracay but mix of white and brown sands, the place is so peaceful and the sea is so clear and blue.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We rented a jeep in our way to Burot, but if you are planning to commute, you can ride a bus going to Calatagan </span> in BSC Bus Station in Pasay<span style="font-family: inherit;"> which cost P290. The last stop is at Calatagan Terminal, from there you can ride a tricycle going to the beach. Most of the tricycle will charge you from P60 - P80 pesos per head, the place is not yet developed so expect a bumpy and dusty ride. There is an entrance fee of P120 for an overnight stay.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The place is a paradise, the beach is still accessible for everyone. If you are planning to go here make it soon before the SM develop the place and spend more just to experience the beauty of the beach.</span> </div>
