You should visit the Phils. I was there December 2011.
Stayed at Balabag, Iloilo (Panay island), also spent a couple days at Boracay. My wife is from Balabag. Many rice and chicken farms in that area.
My wife is from San Carlos City, Negros Occidental....Right across from Sipaway Island....It’s a pretty place....I DO need to go....she has not been home in years...Her folks are both dead.
