The Philippines is a land ofsmiles and quirks. We have
beautiful hot beaches and coldtall mountains. We love eatingfood so much that while we’re
eating lunch, we’re alreadythinking about what to have for
dinner. We point with our mouthsand (sometimes) eat with ourhands. We are a mix of Malay,Spanish, American, and Asiancultures but remain uniquelyFilipino in our outlook in life:
always optimistic and full of lovefor our family and friends.
