off their back to a complete stranger.
That is true hospitality!” — David

of the good weather we have plus the
beautiful beaches and warm welcoming
faces of the Filipinos. I am from Quezon
Province and I am very proud of our place,
specifically Lucban. The famous Kamay ni
Hesus and the Pahiyas ng Lucban are
worth visiting. I am married to an
American and he is decided to retire in the
Philippines because of our warm climate.”
— Helen Heidel, Kansas
“I come from Brazil, but the best beaches in this world are in
Philippines! OMG,such a wonderful country.” — Maria Clara Delos

is still in full control. This is why we rise above our tragedies — we move on, we believe that in the end,
we will triumph! It makes us one of the happiest people on the face of this planet. Add to that the
incredibly, unbelievably beautiful coastline! Oh, and we just did the zipline in Agas Agas, Leyte! A must-
do!” — Luchie S. Callanta
