A Philippine wedding is something special.Its a real great party with a lot of tradition.And very often it cost a lot of Pisos and centavos.But look at this couple and see how happy they look !! If you are happy like this you dont think about money !!
This woman is from the Batak tribal on Palawan.If you want to wisit this tribes you must find a local guide who can introduce you as they dont like tourist.To go without a local guide who can speak this local language is just stupid and can be very dangeus.
This woman belongs to the Tagbanua tribal from Palawan.Palawan is also known as the last frontier.And for sure there is still a lot of unspoilt nature and tribal people but also here its fast declining.But I hope the goverments efforts to save and protekt this area will succec before its to late
Woman and kids from the tautbato tribal on Palawan.But this is not for the ordinary tourist as its very far away from everything.But if you do it ... it will feels like going back in time and space.This is just another world so different from our ordinary life as it feels a bit like a chock!!
learn enough of the language to have some idea of what is going on around you it makes things much easier...The locals are a proud people but also some of the most humble people I have ever met. also the main religion is Catholic so many of the customs are going to be very familiar........
Generally Filipinos and very hospitable in nature. Will treat you as their own family member if you're their guest. And will make your stay as comfortable as it can be. But of course we can't deny that you still need to put extra care in dealing with strangers.
