Mabuhay! It’s more fun in the Philippines!
​
Can you believe that my country, the Philippines has 7,107 islands in all? It is situated in Southeast Asia with neighboring country Taiwan to the north and Malaysia to the south, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to the west of the country, while the eastern Philippines' closest neighbors are Palau and the Marianas Islands.

My home island is Bohol. Bohol is a very beautiful place to visit because of the places like Chocolate hills, Panglao islands, Bilar man-made forest, Sagbayan peak and many others. It is also home to ‘tarsier’ (a small species of primate). The food in Philippines are really great! The famous and unique one is ‘Balut’ which is a duck or chicken egg with embryo, and pork adobo which is marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic then browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade.  My country men are known for their hospitality and respect for elders.

So that’s about my country and home island. So see you next time!
