Book cheap hotels in Philippines
The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands and has three major areas called Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It is a country that has a colorful history and has been influenced by several nations. It was first inhabited by the Aborigines called Negritos or Aetas. Then some Malays and Chinese migrated to the Philippines and inhabited the islands. But it was in 1521 where the Philippines was officially founded by Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan while searching for gold and spices. This opened so many things for the Filipinos. It began the over 300 year rule of the Spaniards over the Filipinos that brought about the Christianization of the Filipinos.
After the Spanish rule, the Philippines was sold to the Americans and thus began the American rule which was welcomed by the Filipinos and to this day you will see how much the Filipinos have embraced what the Americans brought. Other than its colorful past, the country boasts of other beautiful things. Because of it being an island, it has so many landscapes and seascapes to be proud of – from the awe-inspiring Banaue rice terraces of the north, to the historically significant Intramuros in Manila, to the spectacular stretch of white beach of Boracay and many more. It is a country that has something for each and every traveler to enjoy. The scenes will leave a mark in your head but what will leave a mark in your heart are the people – beautiful, friendly and accommodating.
