The Philippines is a great place for a vacation. I have been there, rented a car, drove around to really experience the country and its people. What I love about it besides the beautiful spots is it is English friendly. Unlike other places, most everyone there speaks English, which is a HUGE asset. The other big benefit is that that many things are cheap there because of the currency exchange rate between the Peso and Dollar. Your dollar goes a long way there. It is a very diverse country but there are places you must see.
