About Us
We at OfficiallyPhilippines.com will be your official travel guide to the Philippines. To begin with, we are not a blog site, rather we are a team of travel enthusiasts who gather articles written by fellow travelers based on their first hand experiences of various exotic locales around the Philippines. We are more than just a photo website - we provide outstanding photographs of each destination, and along side it a travel journal, which together will paint you a picture of what you shouldn't be missing. The Philippines has a lot to offer, our mission is to show you its real beauty. While there are bad apples (and there are a few in every country in the world), the rest of us 90 million people are happy witty, fun-loving people who take things calmly no matter what the storm we're faced. One of the funniest observations a tourist friend of ours once said was "Hey, I've been here for 2 weeks and I've tried looking for a pouting Filipino. I can't seem to find one - everyone's smiling all the time!"
Since the duration of your stay is limited, we at OfficiallyPhilippines.com want to help you make the most of your stay. We are here to recommend places to add on to your itinerary and provide you with travel details and tips that will cater to your travel needs. We provide you the ways on how you'll be able to reach your destinations to make your trip easier. We guarantee that it will make your trip to the Philippines worthwhile.
From the bustling streets of Metro Manila, the non-stop parties of the Boracay shores, the historic town of Vigan, to the beautiful untouched Calamian Islands in Palawan - there is so much to show and experience. We plan to set OfficiallyPhilippines.com in motion through a photography contest and a writing contest. We believe that best way to show off the allure of the Philippine islands is through pictures and beautifully written articles. So we are inviting our friends, photographers, writers, and fellow travelers, like you, to send in photographs and articles capturing the essence of our many splendid localities. To be able to share your first-hand experience here in the Philippines is the best way to entice other people to come visit. These photos and essays serve as stories from one traveler to another, literally making you see the Philippines through another person's eyes. We also want to encourage those who will be traveling here to share their experiences too. It is our goal to build an album of fond memories and experiences, a scrapbook of sorts from one traveler to another.
