    Enjoy your trip! You will have a lot of fun. My wife is from the Philippines so we go there quite abit. If your going to Pangasinan checkout Manaoag church. In Manila you can checkout Intramuros.

    Go to Pangasinan... Hundred Islands and at least Bolinao... then go farther north... especifically Vigan and Sand Dunes in Ilocos... Then Baguio... I will also recommend Caramoan Island or Calaguas in Bicol Region over Boracay... or El Nido and Coron in Palawan

    A week long trip to the Philippines could probably limit your stay in Manila - and maybe a side trip to Pangasinan perhaps add Baguio for a taste of the local experience. Enjoy! 😎🤙

    So, do you also have a Philippines passport, by birthright or claimed through RA9225? Like you I intend to go back in one year, after 55 years away. But unlike you, I have no family there.

      Thank you for this recommendation, I really enjoyed watching the Filipino professor eloquently express how rich the Filipino culture is and talk about its fascinating history. Definitely a must watch for all Filipinos 👏🏼 There is a big emphasis on community relations which is something I really cherish and celebrate from my Filipino side 🥳🇵🇭
