Many Islands, Many People, Pure Pinoy!

Over 7,000 islands gives one an unending choice of charms and experiences. Why limit yourself to just one indeed, we’ve been there and sampled authentic Pinoy sensibilities. Wonderful, pleasantly unexpected and never forgetful

The Philippines provides most of East Asia with it’s musicians and maids, Asia’s Troubadours really are what they’ve been described as and I met many people from there in the USA which was colonial master for 50 years. So I went to the islands to see what they were really like

Well from 1565 to 1898 the country was Spanish. From 1898 to 1946 the country was American and because of that, this is a very westernized country.

Negros is a large island in the middle of the country with a long coastline, and typically gregarious people, Bohol is ever so slightly more inhibited, but that’s relative since yours truly was still able to joke, laugh and get invited to the locals homes.

Flying over the Visayas islands was like the ultimate geography lesson; green nodules in a blue/green sea
