Of the eleven Southeast Asian nations, I've only been to one. And that is the country I live in—the Philippines. Although I've lived here all my life, I have not yet roamed every part of this country. I've been to places like Laguna, Baguio, Bicol. Now and then, I get to go to other provinces. Basically, though, I've lived in Manila all my life—Manila with its jeepneys and tricyles, people and buildings.

When I was in high school, my Social Study books often advised us to visit the Philippines' most well known tourist spots. Out of all those, I've only been to two: Mayon Volcano (in Bicol) and Taal Lake (in Tagaytay).
