Hey Jim:

Enjoyed the website. My girlfriend is from Biliran. I'm going down there at the end of the year. I have a list of places that I want to see and your site help put those places in some kind of order for us. Thanx again for sharing the videos. We got a good laugh out of some of those videos. I have been traveling around the Philippines since 1979 when I first went to Subic bay in the U.S. navy and have never grown tired of the place. i'll be retiring soon and hope to reside in the Iba, Zambales area. take care, Eric&Annie

Hi Jim,
My wife (filipina) of 7 years and I will be arriving in Cebu in a little over two months (Sept 2, 2009), and plan to stay for three months (Dec 2 2009).
We will then travel to Palompon, Leyte where she has family.
This will be my first visit and my wife as been away from the islands for many years.
It would be an honor to touch base with you while we are there.
Rick

Hi~

Im from Singapore and Im planning a trip to Philippines for 5 days. But Philippines is soooo big it's hard to plan. I'll be flying in to Manila, Clark. Can you advice me how to plan my trip?

Here's what I would like to do:
Day 1: city tour of manila
Day 2: sightseeing (volcanoes, wildlife)
Day 3: beach - which beach is near and good?
Day 4: beach
Day 5: sightseeing/ city tour


Comment:
First of all, you need to get to Manila from Clark. There are busses running regularly. The trip will take 2 to 4 hours, depending on traffic. You can also rent a van to take you. Here is business that has vans travelling between Manila and Clark
http://www.margarita-station .com/airport.html

I am not aware of any official tours of Manila but i assume they exist. Just google to see. I just asked around for the best deal for some one to show me the sights for my Manila tour. You could do the same or hire a car with driver. Check the transport link page for several car hire options.

Make sure you see Intramuros on your tour of Manila.

Taal is the closest volcano to Manila. It can be done as a day trip from Manila.

There is no beach in Manila. You will have to leave Manila for a beach. Since you have to travel anyway, my suggestion is that you fly to Tagbiliran on Bohol then stay on Alona Beach. It is about a 1 hour flight then 30 minutes to Alona beach.

You could also take a trip to Corregidor Island which is at the entrance to Manila Bay. Here is one option for travelling there.

It has some beaches too!

On Luzon, if you have time, see the hanging coffins in Sagada or the ancient rice terraces at Banaue.

Enjoy your trip!

Hi Jim,
Great website! I have visited PI twice last year and have a filipino boyfriend (from Panay)who i am trying to sort out a tourist visa for to come here to Australia.
I miss him and PI and it was great to look through your site and be reminded of the culture and good times I had.
Are you interested in some photos from the west coast of Panay Island between Borocay and Barbaza? If so i can send some onto you.
Keep up the good work
Lisa.

Hello Lisa

Thankyou!

Yes, I would very much like the pictures!

Here is the public gallery where you can upload as many as you want
http://www.bigjimsphilippine sexperience.com/gallery

If you don't want to upload them you can send them to me for upload but I have such a huge backlog of pictures to upload, I may not get to yours for a year.

Hi Jim!

I have really enjoyed your website and will continue to explore it. I got your link from Rusty's page, while researching expats in PI! Around the 1st of June, I will be moving to Tubigon, Bohol. I am excited to leave my life behind and move forward into a new life!!! I am porting my business with me, and will be primarily working in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and India. I have been to PI 3 times (79,03,05), but now it is a move for me ... not business! Hope to meet up with you sometime. My filipina bride will retire as a school teacher, and I just retired from the phone company, so now we will move to a slow paced life!

Stay blessed and be encouraged,

Steven

Hi,
Your site was a great help. We are planning to tour Cebu City this April and referring to your site will guide us on our itinerary. Though we will only tour the city for a day (because we are actually spending our real vacation in Bohol), this will help us plan better.
More power to you.
JC
