Philippines Natural Environment

One of the small Islands in the Philippines. Palm trees, white sand and a crystal clear sea!! The weathers' usually hot. A peaceful place to relax.

Tagaytay is a tourist attraction for local and foreign visitors. It is an excellent vantage point of Taal Lake and Volcano. Tagaytay offers a breathtaking sight of the famous Taal Lake - a lake within an island within a lake. Tagaytay is envisioned to become a city that is enriched and comfortable to live in and visit, with flowers in bloom along roadsides, ridges and mountains swathed in green, pure and unpolluted air and climate always invigorating. Tagaytay is a perfect getaway for people seeking respite from the daily pressures of life in the metropolis. It is home to more than 60 convents and congregations and numerous hotels, resorts, and convention centers. Lush forests, open grasslands and gentle slopes make up a calm scene that pleases and refreshes the eye - conducive for meditation and concentration needed during training, conventions and retreats.

This is my hometown!!!! General Santos is situated in the southern part of the Philippines, in the province of South Cotabato. The city has a population of 535,747 as of the 2007, making it as one of the populous cities in the Philippines. The city's economy is primarily agro-industrial. Due to its rich soil, good rainfall and typhoon-free climate, the area is the largest producer of corn, coconuts, copra, pineapples, asparagus and rice. It accounts for the largest total daily fish landings in the country and is the leading producer of sashimi grade tuna.

Tagaytay is only a couple hours south of Manila and the weather is cooler here... you definitely have to check out Taal Volcano, which is the world's smallest volcano... there's a lake within the volcano, which is within a lake. Hard to explain but really cool to see, you can hike the crater too.

Be informed the thunder shower in the afternoon, avoid to be outsides.
