Some say that mangoes being supplied to the Whitehouse are from Guimaras. Also, the Whitehouse 's head chef was a Filipina.

[@Inday_Yawa]

ever tried mangoes from pakistan?

[@ymondragon1858]

@@Inday_Yawa I guess I tried mangoes from Pakistan or India ( I think) while I was in Saudi Arabia years ago and was disappointed. The mangoes looked almost overripe, the colour was a deep orange but the taste was so sour. It tasted like the green/raw mangoes we have in the Philippines but the texture was different. We didn't buy mangoes again in Saudi Arabia after that.

[@lealeeismyname]

Philippines is soooo beautiful. I miss travelling. Yes there are lots of seafoods buffet and any type of buffet in the Philippines in reasonable prices.

[@marierocher4422]

Morning from France. Thank you so much as one of those who requested this. 😉👍. If you love big museums then visit the National Museum and Ayala Museum. There you can see the pre colonial arts. These presentation is to show case your priorities. By the way each regions have different culinary specialties and languages. Most of the indigenous are in the South in Mindanao. Remember the Philippines was a melting pot even during pre colonial and adding colonial periods, the diversity of the country and its culinaires.

@The Commodity just get your diving licenses in the Philippines, I did that 22 years ago and it was the best decision I made. Every diver back in the states said it was better to do it over there than here in the US (unless you are near Florida). Anyhow, it is usually less than $300-$500 and can be completed within a week.

The series of videos were presented respectively begins from north to the south of the Philippines. Names of places being flashed at the end of each videos are the provinces that makes up that region.

[@GriseWeisshark]

The tourism ads focus on each region (consisting of multiple provinces) in the Philippines. It goes from northern regions to southern regions. CaLaBaRZon, MiMaRoPa, SoCCSKSarGen are actually "acronyms" of the provinces that were shown in order on the video. For example, Calabarzon = Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon

[@peperochan12]

Yes we consider that as an island. Only that it's not habitable. And we also have plenty of seafood buffet here. We're basically surrounded with water so our supply is abundant.

[@mikebinlar8750]

The video is basically every provinces of the whole country from up north to down south. Yes do we have lots of seafood buffets starts at 20$. If I may add start from Cebu City which is in Central Visayas since it's in the center of the Philippines which means you can navigate better either going north or south. It's also the birth place of Christianity here so you will know the countries history as well. It's also next to the island of Bohol were the "Chocolate Hills" that you mention are found. It's a mixture of City life and nature so you have a mix of both worlds in one place without breaking the bank.

[@mariaelenamoraga8006]

Miles and Phezz we have 3 archipelagos, they are Luzon Visayas and Mindanao. The provinces featured first were from Luzon like sand dunes, windmills, rocks formations, hundred islands, old houses and churches, and beaches too. We are now in normal state but we still were facemasks in public places and indoor resto, malls and offices. U can look into the websites of Philippines Tourism Authority and ask questions about new guidelines entering Philippines. Little islands with white beaches are in Visayas region.

[@zethcao11]

You are welcome to the Phil. Even it is cheap here, you need a lot of money if you want to visit most of the islands because you travel by plane reaching those island. If you want yo stay in a nice hotels and eat a high class good food, it is really expensive.

[@imlouise]

In 20:16 and 20:22, my father lived in that island called Camiguin, that sand bar that your talking about they consider it as an island who appear when its low tide and disappear when its high tide. They call it White Island a kind of a naked island. By the way naked island is kind of an island that there's no shade or anything.

[@imlouise]

@James Henry Smith really?😮😮😮 i didn't know that. We didn't lived there so i don't know about that topic because I'm not updated to entertainment news and kpop i just learned a little bit when I searched it just now. My family don't like to live there because when natural disaster occurs it will be hard to escape it, because technically it was an island where the only transportation is by boat. My late dad used to lived there when he was a kid but not anymore.

It was a tourism ad showing different places you can visit in every region of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. From north to south, it offers different kind of adventures that only proves why the Philippines is the Pearl of the Orient. From sunrise to sundown, from dusk til' dawn, it's wonders never ceases. From one island to another, it welcomes everyone with warm smiles and kindness. How the people's tenacity stood the test of time just like it's mountains.

I am a filipino but lives all my life here in US. But to answer your question if filipinod consider a small piece of land an island? And the answer is YES! Remember an island is a piece of land surrounded by an water regardless the size. Some of these island isn't inhabited yet...and the count of the island depends if its high tide or low tide. You gottah visit the country its beautiful and just a tip, do research first and make a plan on which place in your list you want to visit. Remember, there 3 major island Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Pick a couple location which you want to explore more. Because trust me there are so many but most definitely visit Siargao area in Mindanao and Palawan. Also, bring some skin cream cuz its very hot. Most especially if you visit during summer months. During summer season the airfare tends to be expensive. Also, don't carry a large amount of cash because credit card isn't available anywhere. And then don't be a victim of scam while you're there's. Enjoy and be safe.

[@jeanannmalabago3323]

Depend on whether it's hight tide of low tide. If an island sinks into the sea in high tide then it's not really an island,. It's an international law

[@brianstevegaray5456]

Regarding the vaccinations...as of this time of writing (June 13, 2021), the PH has only vaccinated nearly 5% of everyone (at least once) in like 3 months, so we’re really asking US/China/EU/etc. for more vaccines (apart from persuading the masses to get vaccinated), so that we’ll get back to a semblance of the pre-pandemic life. Right now, a lot of big cities are going back to community quarantines or lockdowns, while smaller regions/less populated provinces get slightly more freedom (but a couple of them are also seeing covid surges). Mask wearing (plus “face shields”) is still mandatory in public for much of PH society.

T o your question? Its not considered an island, its only a 'sandbar'.

The episode names on the upper left of the screen give the province or region that the episode shows. Some region names are acronyms of the provinces in that region: MIMAROPA = Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan. CALABARZON = Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon SOCSKSARGEN = South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, General Santos Many place names are spelled Spanish-style and are pronounced with simple and short Spanish vowels but the stress is on the middle or second-to-the-last syllable: Boracay = [b'-RAH-kai]; Siargao = [syar-GAHW]; Zamboanga = [zam-bo-WANG-gah]; Mindanao = [min-dah-NAHW].

guys, you know you will enjoy your trips anywhere in,the world, just a tip never compare your country to the host country or you will just be feeling disgusted, just respect the locals, their traditions and their way if life. Anyways you came there not to experience what you have in your country, but what you do,not and can not experience in your country. By the way shrimps are small, prawns are bit bigger and lobster are the biggest. And additional knowledge, Philippines have the biggest concentrations of corals and swa crwatures around the world, so if you lime diving, you will enjoy many diving sites all over Philippines. So many good things to tell about Philippines it's cultures, traditions, histories. But you have to discover mome for yourselves. Just remember, just lime anywhere in the world, there are good places to see and bad places to go, contact the Philippines Tourism Agency to give you advise where to go and not to go. Safe travel in future.
