1. You Simply Don’t Want to Leave
They may be separated by political
differences but the 7, 107 islands of the
Philippines are united by hospitality of its
people. Getting in could be very easy but
once you’re in the Philippines, getting out is
more difficult. You simply don’t want to
leave.
 It may be hard to believe but
it’s true, especially if you’ve found
your paradise in one of its islands.
This is exactly why the Philippines,
a nation of more than 80 million
people, is a mixture of so many
cultures – Asian, European,
American, and many more.
2. Stay Safe in the Sun
Going out in the burning sun
without sensible protection is
extremely dangerous.
The first reason is that you can get
awfully sunburnt.
The second reason is that you can
get horrible skin cancers because of
damaging light rays.
 Another reason is that too
much time out in bright sunlight
can badly hurt your eyes.

REMEMBER to wear a hat, to put

on a shirt, to use sunscreen and to
wear sunnies!
THANK YOU!
Goodbye and have
a great day!
GOD BLESS YOU!
