The Philippines? Well I think it's a nice place to stay. We have a lot of tourist spots.

We have a unique cultural heritage which is a combination of four - chinese, american, spanish and latin. But I think the spaniards influenced us the most especially our religion.

We have a democratic kind of government with the president as the head of state.

Wanna know some tagalog words and phrases? Well here are some of them...

==SALAMAT== "Thank You"

==MAGANDANG UMAGA== "Good Morning"

==KUMUSTA KA?== "How are you?

==WALANG ANUMAN== "You're welcome."

==PAALAM== "Bye"


That's all for now... Bye!!!
