            Filipino Cuisine is mostly composed of three flavors sweet, salty and sour. Each province has different kinds of food delicacies that can melt in your mouth, like Adobo, Sinigang, Lechon, Crispy Pata, Bicol Express, Sisig, Pakbet, etc.

In fact, some Filipino Cuisine is a mix of Chinese, Spanish, American, and Japanese Cuisines mostly from the colonizers. Still, Filipino Food nowadays is leading and some Filipinos across the world spread the cuisine by having a Filipino restaurant business or presenting it at gatherings. That's why some foreigners are eager to try more Filipino food by visiting the country. Aside from other cities and provinces in the Philippines, I highly recommend the Culinary Capital of the Philippines Pampanga.


5. Public Transportation

            The iconic public transportation of the Philippines colorful Jeepneys and tricycles are a great mode of transportation especially if you want a cheaper Transpo. It also represents the culture of Filipinos, that you can experience warm treatment specifically if you need help or question friendly drivers and passengers can help you while on your trip. That's why I highly recommend try it when you visit.


6.  Heritage Churches

            Aside from being hospitable and, friendly Filipinos are religious people, when the Spaniards came to the Philippines they built different roman catholic churches in urban and rural areas that are still strong, but some are ruined because of earthquakes and other calamities. It's very remarkable in the history since each site has a story, that's why a lot of churches in the Philippines has become UNESCO heritage site, like the Church of our lady of Assumption in Santa Maria Ilocos Sur, Immaculate Conception Parish Church in San Agustin Manila, San Agustin Church in Paoay Ilocos Norte and Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Church in Miag-ao Iloilo and the Cagsawa Ruins in Bicol.
