-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVE YOUR MONEY Reviewer: Richard Bearse from Orangeburg, New York USA This is a very short video, 30 minutes in length, that is nothing more than a commercial for lingerie designer Natori and Travel & Leisure Magazine. Great emphasis is given to the usual tourist traps and luxury hotels and resorts. Great for the wealthy, fashion conscious tourist, but terrible for the average person who wants to learn about the true Filipino culture. Not recommended if you want to experience the true local flavor and uniqueness of the Philippines. This tape only shows segments that so-called high society snobs will enjoy, not your working class tourist. I was very disappointed. Money would have been better spent on a tour guide.

This is 1st new video of The Philippines in over 5 years. I review books & videos on my website about the Philippines and I have searched everywhere. It is an interesting approach, different than traditional travel videos. Conversation keeps it lively as you are shown some of the most beautiful areas covering several islands.

It highlights romantic places perfect to take your girlfriend. You should watch it before you make your travel arrangements.

Mabuhay, Jean
