Filipino culture,beliefs,history and life style

We went to Baguio to guide one of our guest from korea.It was long ride from malate to baguio city.I think it took almost 7 hours but thats ok we made it safe.We explore everywhere like non stop.We really had fun me and my sister.When were going back to manila we use kenon road because our friend in baguio said that it was quickiest way to go back to manila.On our way we were amazed.Kenon road is full of sight seeing view but dangerous road to take espicially if it during rainy days because there are few landslide along the road and it is dark during the night.There are no lamp post on this road.Its a good thing that we decided to go back to manila at 3pm because we had the chance to see all view and witness this kind of road that there are no internet connection.I can say that because on my phone i have internet connection when we are passing kenon road my internet connection was lost as in no signal.Wow i cannot survive this kind of place because i grew up in the city and i used to travel every now and then.

Culture

One word that would best describe Philippine culture, would be diversity.

The people largely come from the Malay race and share cultural similarities to Malaysians and Indonesians but even before the first Europeans came to the Philippines they had a culture different from other Malay people. With over 150 languages scattered throughout more than 7000 islands it is not surprising at each region has cultural elements unique to their area.
