This country is known for it's beaches, diving, jeepneys, bankas, and pearls. [|Philippine map & guide]

=How to Get There:= [|Air Asia] - best prices BUT only flies to **Clark Base**-2 hours north of Manila requiring the shuttle bus to the city...cheap and easy [|Malaysian Airlines] - can get decent deals if booked in advance. Check the MATA travel fairs schedule. I booked online during this time and received the same sale price less the RM 100 travel agent fee. Total cost? 1/4 the regular fare and we flew directly to Manila. [|Philippine Airlines] - most expensive = = = = = = = = =Places to Visit:=
