There are two similar groups on facebook with similar aims, and an amazing number of high quality photos. If you’re already on facebook, search for them :-

• FUNtastic Philippines – “ fun-loving Filipinos living worldwide assisted by friends from different countries whose primary objective is to showcase the beauty of the Philippines and invite visitors to its 7,107 islands evenly spread throughout the archipelago....Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! “

WHEN POSTING PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND ANNOUNCEMENT, ALWAYS PUT THE TAGLINE "IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES " THEN ADD A BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND/OR LOCATION OF WHERE THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN.
ENJOY AND HAPPY POSTING. HAVE MORE FUN!

Great pics Doc thanks for posting.

I hope to go to Bohol....But not sure if it will be on my next trip in June as we are hoping to go to Palawan to visit Flors best friend in El Nido.

Thanks Steve.r, Stevie C, Lastlid, and Graham :).
I've been amazed at the rapid enthusiastic responses whenever I've uploaded photos :). Don't suppose we need worry that the Philippines will ever become too popular a tourist destination :)

There was a humorous typo (for me anyway) in the Cebu Daily News recently when discussing this new tourism slogan. Easily recognisable for those that live or have tried to do business here apparently 'it's more FUNDS in the Philippines' !!!!

Mangos. A quid a kilo. How many to the kilo? I think they are about £1.00 to £1.30 each here. And not the variety as my wife KEEPS reminding me.
