The word "Beautiful" is an understatement to define our (my) beloved country, the Philippines.
As majestic, amazing, and magnificent as it is, it is also a mysterious and strange (for some) country.
I live here for more than 28 years now and I still find it indescribable!
Though there is more place I need to see and discover, I can definitely say, I'm in love with my country despite its flaw, since birth! :) ♥
Here are some facts to share while I'm busy staring this flowy yet calm body of water.
Falls is to fall for! :P
The English word 'boondocks' is derived from a Filipino word. 'Mountain' in English is 'bundok' in Tagalog/Filipino word.
In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines marking the beginning of archipelago's colonization during Spanish era that lasted for 333 years.
There are seven volcanoes and five towns in Camiguin, Philippines. There hasn't been any eruption since the half year of 1950.
There are 125 to 170 dialects in the Philippines. Waray, Tagalog, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, Ilocano, Ilonggo, Cebuano and Bicol.
