These beautiful and diverse long coastlines were usually where you will find tourists flocking during summer months in the country (March - June) yearly. We have listed these tourist spots so visitors and local Pinoys may know 1001 reasons why they must visit the whole Philippines first before going abroad to have fun.About Philippines Health Wellness, Alternative and Traditional MedicineTraditional as most may call it but Pinoys love the art of healing by use of natural medicines. An age old tradition of ways to cure and apply natural secrets from nature's best offers of herbal plants combined with historic beliefs of our lolo and lola with their alternative cures to common kid's illness. That is what we've gone used to in terms of health and wellness and I must say up to this new generation in 2014, Pinoys still go to shamans and "manghihilot" and yes, to the traditions of holistic healing where most who don't have the money to spend for hospitals find refuge and cure with naturopathists in the likes of Dr. Tam Mateo, Dr.Edinell Calvario and others. We love to do most healing based from what our elders beliefs as we have come to believe also in terms of healing the sick by natural approach.From traditional hilot to the use of herbs and plants to remedy and cure common illness to naturopathy practice and use of unique techniques in diagnosing the health of a person, name it, Filipinos have it.The Filipino CultureDiverse as it is, the culture of the Filipino people can be traced with what the country has undergone in terms of colonization in the early times of pre-war. This is the time when other conquistadors from a foreign land started to discover the vast agricultural rich land of Pilipinas. This is also when these great conquerors realized how beautiful and ideal Philippines is. Yes, all that has greatly and vastly influenced the Filipino culture. Reason enough why we have unique wedding traditions and suits and dress.Pinoy Music and OPMWe can trace back the old music scene in the Philippines dating back probably in the 40's where we have most of our influence coming from the United States when the war set in. That time, American soldiers were the teachers in schools and they taught us our first hymn. The first songs we've learned still somehow linger in the lips of our ancestors, our great great great grand fathers and mothers and we can still hear them in some areas in the province and Manila from our parents. If you ask me today about Philippines music, I would say it is no longer here. The influence may still linger around in the melody but the tradition that we've gone through in terms of writing good lyrics might have been forgotten. I'm just glad the songs still live in the spirit and can be heard through some good samaritan Pinoys uploading old kundiman and love song over in YouTube.ComThe Philippine GovernmentPhilippine government had different agencies taking care of needs and welfare of the Filipino people. Below is a list of the different institutions that serve Pinoys both in the country as well as abroad.DFA Branches and Consulate Offices AbroadDifferent Social Security System BranchesAbout Philippines TravelAbout Philippines Complete List of Antipolo ResortsAbout Philippines Complete List of Batangas ResortsAbout Philippines Bohol ResortsList of Complete Boracay ResortsComplete List of Cavite ResortsComplete List of Laguna ResortsComplete List of Palawan ResortsComplete List of Quezon Province ResortsTagalog as the Dominant Filipino LanguagePhilippine Dress and CostumesWhat more would you want to know about Philippines if you won't give a visit to our age old history when it comes to dress and costumes. We've been conquered, inhabited and dominated by perhaps half of the world conquistadors. This makes the country have one of the most interesting tradition in terms of wearing styled dress or costumes. We've been made so influenced and diverse that sometimes I think the only one truly local and untouched dress we have are those that we call "bahag", worn by the first inhabitants and native Filipinos.Philippine ProvincesThere are currently about 82 different provinces present in the island of the Philippines. Out of this figure will rise categorization types to divide the numbers.

These local festivals are what it is about Philippines because they light up the streets of different provinces and give meaning and color to numerous events held for so many years in commemoration of a feast and bountiful harvest from nature. The list goes on and on and one can only admit that Pinoys do really love to celebrate and enjoy it as Catholics, Muslims and other religions and sects alike. During these celebration in summer months, many tourists flock and visit the country for early hotel reservation which makes provinces earn from tourism.
