Philippine Flag |
The Philippines is one of the most beautiful places you will ever go. Philippines was tagged by the Spanish Jesuit Missionary Padre Juan J. Delgado as the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It was also used and popularized by the national hero Jose Rizal in his Mi último Adiós. Pearl of the Orient Seas mainly because the Philippines is known to be among the producer of pearls, not just pearls but the rarest and most exquisite of all pearls! Tourists are attracted to its beautiful islands, places, foods, etc. Philippines are blessed with some beautiful beaches, and tourist spots/attractions. That's why the Philippines are beautiful.
The Philippine
archipelago has three main geographical divisions which are Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao and was known to have 7,107 islands. Philippines have different
attractions that people love like the islands, mountains, and beaches. There
are lots of islands and mountains where you can climb up and have a perfect
view. Beaches with white sands are also the best attraction here in the
Philippines. Boracay and Puerto Galera are one of them, each of them also has
caves where you can go inside and sea the beauty of it. These attractions can
be called as the own beauty of our country, beautiful and fine. The
Philippines' rainforests and its extensive coastlines make it home to a diverse
range of birds, plants, animals, and sea creatures. The examples of these
species are such as national bird that was known as Philippine eagle, Tarsier,
crocodile etc.
Filipino people are
basically from Malay race with a touch of Chinese, American, Spanish, and Arab blood. Filipinos are
also beautiful when it comes to appearance and personalities which symbolizes
as Filipino Spirit. Filipino’s skins are attracted to everyone that called “Kayumangging
Kaligatan”. Kayumangging Kaligatan is being or having not too white and not too
dark skin. Filipinos are known for their 'filipino smile' because it is so
natural. The reason for that might be because Filipinos are very friendly and
are very welcoming to others. Even when there’s a tragedy happened like earthquakes,
super typhoon (Yolanda, Ondoy etc.) they are positive in life and keep on
smiling.
Aside from the well-known
Puerto Galera, Boracay, Palau and Palawan beaches, there are more virgin and pristine
islands and beaches that the Philippines have to offer!
Indeed, the Philippines is a country of natural beauty. From awesome scenic places to explore,
colorful customs and traditions, delicious food and delicacies, to beautiful
people to admire, Philippines is one of the best tourist destination in the
world! And for that, I can say with pride that I am proud to be a Filipino.
