Agreed. You will see and experience the real Philippines.

Prior to Elsa and I getting married in 2004, I stayed at her parents' place in Tacloban, and their house was basically 1 giant room divided into 4 partitions with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and lounge. 6 others were also staying in this tiny building, there were no windows and nearly every night we had "brownout". I didn't complain and I was totally humbled by the whole experience.
