Best points

Very peaceful here with only 1 neighbor at the left side,the others are a little bit far away. Youll live in the middle of the nice and friendly natives.

So if you want to learn people and know the Philippines way of life, and at the same time, to see the nice places in Luzon, the biggest Island in the Philippines, I suggest you to stay in my Province Pangasinan.

We have beautiful beaches, Hundred Islands, near Bagiou as well as the natural wonders of the World, the ancient Rice Terraces.

Introducing the Folks in my Town and in other parts of the Philippines!

The Foreighners are already common for the Folks in our Barrio. They see the Germans, Americans, Japanese, Australians and the others who live there during their vacations in the Philippines. In the street where my parent live, for example, have almost every family at least a foreign son in law or member of the family who live abroad like Hawai, Australia, Germany, Chinese, Texas, California, Japan, Hongkong, Saudi Arabia, Canada, England, and these people come often to their Towns as they built their houses there as well as to see their family and Town. The favorite place of many Germans !

So if you want to learn people and know the Philippines way of life, and at the same time, to see the nice places in Luzon, the biggest Island in the Philippines, I suggest you to stay in my Province Pangasinan. We have beautiful beaches, Hundred Islands, near Bagiou as well as the natural wonders of the World, the ancient Rice Terraces.

You dont have to be afraid of all the bad news about the Philippines. Youll find safety in our Town. Everywhere youll go, either in the Banks, Malls or in any Fast Foods restaurants, like Jolly Bees or Mc Donalds, youll find Armed security Guards , who are always ready to help you. We have also Barrio Guards( Barangay Tanod ) who watch our place, also in the night. Although, theres really, a little need of them, because crimes in our Town( or I think, outside Urban areas ) is a rarity.

We Filipinos, despite of Political intrigues and Poverty, we still remain Friendly and hospitable to our Guests. We easily laugh and our warm Smile is but, natural for us. Everywhere youll go, youll be greeted with honorific Maam or Sir. They are friendly, not only to their own Folks , but, as well as to the visitos . Seldom can you find such hospitable people who enjoy the company of Foreighners. (especially to western)Perhaps, because we were under the Spain, for longer time, the Americans as well as the Japanese.

Its easy to communicate with them, most of the Pilipinos are billingual, and the conversation in english is almost possible to anyone, anytime and anywhere.

Dont be surprised, if somebody call you, Joe, they call all White men with such name. THey mean it, Joe the American.

The last years, I see and hear more Filipina Women, marrying Europeans and Americans , so interracial marriages are now common to them. Unlike before, if they see a filipina woman going out, with white man, they think her as a Prostitute. Before , if I was in tour there, with my children, I was often asked , if I was a Nanny to them. And although, the Western men look good and bright, you cant avoid them to think, that Pilipinos want to go with them, just to have better life. Many of us live in Poverty !

But, well despite of Poverty, we are still fond of Feasts and love to celebrate it with dances, eating good Foods and enjoy the company of each others. The term Bayanihan is the term Pilipinos use to describe the kind of common Spirit that hold us together, in good times and in bad times and we extend it to Visistors as well.

So , I invite all, to visit my country , the Philippines and see it self . You are cordially Welcomed !
