Why the Philippines?
The Republic of the Philippines, or The Philippines is also known as the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is an independent sovereign nation of south east Asia. It lies 750 miles away from mainland Asia consisting of 7,107 islandsat the northern tip of the Malay Peninsula. To the east is the Philippine Sea and Pacific Ocean, to the west is the South China Sea, and the south is washed by the Celebes Sea.
Of the 7000 islands, only about 2000 are occupied. The islands are part of a volcanic chain running through South East Asia, and the terrain is mostly rugged and mountainous, with the mountain ranges extending from north to south and there are about 20 active volcanoes. The highest peak is Mount Apo, at 2954 meters on Mindanao.
The climate is tropical, with the average temperature at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer monsoons make May to November the wet season, usually with typhoons, while the dry season is December to April. March to May is very hot and humid, whilst the months of November to March are pleasant.
The Philippines has something of an image problem. But the Philippines is the only English speaking country in Asia. It has a culture known for its hospitality, beautiful beaches and warm and friendly people and it is mostly laidback, stable and relatively safe. The cost of living is so low you will have a hard time believing it. And it has a wide range of entertainment from exciting nightlife to golf, international restaurants to stunning resorts beyond compare.

Local Attractions & Activities
With 7000 islands, the Philippines has a wealth of opportunities, favored spots are Boracay, Alona Beach (Bohol), Puerto Princesa (Palawan) and the island of Apo for diving enthusiasts. Canoeists can shoot the rapids in Pagsanjan, 70km south east of Manila and spelunkers can explore the underground river Palawan, that is 8km long and meanders through a network of caves.
Climbing
Mayon, in southern Luzon, which has been described as the world's most perfect volcanic cone or Mt Taal, south of Manila, described as the smallest and most dangerous volcano in the world; and the Philippines' highest peak, Mt Apo.
Diving
The Philippines is considered a diver's paradise because the islands offer a large selection of major diving spots, a variety of beautiful coral reefs, steep drop-offs, wreck-dives and pleasantly warm waters as well as easy access to diving gear. Diving enthusiasts should give the Apo Reef in Mindoro Strait a try. It is one of the country's best-known dive sites. Shark's Ridge can be found here and is still largely unexplored, it offers some really great drop-off diving. As the name suggests, divers can expect to have sightings of sharks. Subic Bay now offers world class wreck diving. With a total of at least 20 merchant marine and naval ships sunk in the bay, it is not hard to see why this dive site is so popular among enthusiastic wreck divers.
Fishing
There are several fishing clubs in the Philippines. It is both a great sport and great way to relax.
Mountaineering
The Philippines does not have any alpine summits, nevertheless, there are a number of volcanoes worth climbing. According to the official list, there are 37 volcanoes, out of which 18 are active and 19 are dormant, but all are unpredictable. Enthusiasts will find Mount Apo, a mountain a challenge. Standing majestically at 2,956 m. it is the country's highest peak. Mountain climbers heading towards Mount Apo can easily get there from Davao City with well-marked tracks to follow.
Caving
Although there are plenty of caves in the Philippines, only a handful of them have been completely explored. Since many of the caves were once burial grounds, it is quite common to discover skulls and bones. However, you will probably have a tough time finding any artifacts such as tools, vessels, jewelry or old weapons as these have been discovered during earlier explorations.
Trekking
Opportunities abound along Luzon's Pacific Coast, especially in Bicol and Quezon provinces. For those who want to escape motorised transport completely, nothing beats walking on Bataan Island or Lubang, where the horse cart still retains its place as the primary mode of transport.
White-water Rafting
For the fearless, this activity is seen as fun and exciting but for others, taking on the wrath of a river is just sheer madness. Be it fun or sheer madness, those preferring to defy all reasons of logic might find white-water rafting in the Philippines a truly extraordinary experience. A good spot for this activity is north of Subic Bay on the Bagsit River and supposedly one of the best places in the region.
Legal Information you should know about the Philippines
Non-citizens are able to hold property in the Philippines by means of a corporate structure. Corporations can own land, so long as Filipino citizens own 60 percent of the company; the rest can be owned by a foreign partner or partners.
The above arrangement makes it particularly easy for foreigners to buy condominiums, as long as they don't compose more than 40 percent of a building's ownership. Foreigners cannot claim citizenship in the Philippines without renouncing their original nationalities.
