4. Quirky transport:

Another thing you have to do in the Philippines is ride on a jeepney. The U.S troops left old military jeeps back in World War II. The Filipinos revamped the back, added two more benches, gave them a colorful and unique design, and just like that, the Philippine jeepney has become a cultural sign of the country.

5. Zesty locals:

The hospitable Filipinos are most kind and heartwarming. They always seem happy and smiling, which makes for a welcoming start. But the enthusiastic lot love to sing and dance whenever an occasion needs celebration.

6. Money matters:

Holidays in the Philippines is not too heavy on the pocket. You can enjoy king size privileges for very little. However sometimes lodging can be expensive, but the food and local transport tend to balance it out. Even though attractions have a minimal admission fee, they tend to be very low.

7. Massage miracles:

One of the best things to do in the Philippines is pampering your body with a good massage. From luxury spas to massage ladies on the beach, you will find them almost everywhere, ready to give you a good knead.

So make sure your international tour packages comes complete with a trip to Philippines.
