I seen on the boards that you guys are planning to go Manila ...

Rip seems LIKE really really FUN Guy and Saint John, at first I really thought you were PINOY...

YOU MR guys are really celebs, I daily read the boards since I learned about Arnel's journey with JOURNEY, its LIKE reading the news and "novela" at the same time ... :P :twisted: (sh.. why is it LIKE I am sounding LIKE NEAL)

i'm one of Rhi's fans .. :oops: finally get that out...

AND thanks to Andrew for maintaining a board to cater for all types of Journey Fans including myself who is relatively a babe in the WORLD of JOURNEY...

FOR YOU GUYS here is some of the best beaches that we have in the P.I.

sad to say I am Pinoy but never been to these places my self, but like to share it with you guys...

Top Ten Beaches in the Philippines
http://www.netguard.dk/top-ten-beaches-philippines.php

The Philippines have been well known for its fantastic beaches. Here are some of the best beaches in the Philippines that one may consider visiting.

1. Boracay – has always been the favorite place of beach goers to go in the Philippines. This is because of the great white sand and cool waters, Boracay is the place for people looking to party. It is even considered as one of the finest beaches in the world. Boracay is located in the North West part of the Visayas area called Panay.

2. Pagudpud – if you’re looking for a place that can be like Hawaii, Pagudpud is the place to visit. The strong winds and waves can be compared to that of Hawaii which makes this place often visited by surfers. Pagudpud also has long continuous white sands and inviting beach waters for people looking to just swim. Compared to Boracay, this place is more secluded.

3. Mactan Island – the queen city of the South, Cebu, also has its fair share of great beaches. One of them is the so called Mactan Island. It is a tropical island resort. It provides tourist with great entertainment such as night life activities that will spice up the visit.

My pleasure. It is a diverse, complex, sometimes divided, sometimes united fan base...but always passionate and I do my best to run a forum where all factions of the fanbase can feel comfortable posting. Not always easy, but I try...

Welcome aboard anyway.

Or Coors Light, or Pearl Light... even Meister Brau -- any of them should do equally as well!

Coors Light or Bud Light are the only 2 beers I really like. Though Michelob Ultra is pretty good, too!

5. Camiguin – the place has been known to be one of the most beautiful places in the Philippines because it still seems like a paradise. Some people even consider the place the “Garden of Eden” in the country. Camiguin has a great topography that includes waterfalls, and the hot and cold springs. The place will be mesmerizing and will definitely tempt you to go back.

SJ, I suggest you try San Miguel Beer, too. I believe San Miguel Pale Pilsen is the most popular beer in P.I. You may like it. :wink:

6. Dakak – a private beach that spans about 750 meters long the Sulu Sea. The beach also has great white sands that can be compared to powder. The pool’s water comes from the spring water and the waterfalls that are on the area.

Hey, can someone give me prices on how much stuff costs? Beer, taxis, food, etc. I think it's 44 pesos to a dollar right now or right around there. Thanks! :)

7. Honda Bay – this are islands that surround the capital of the South Western province of Palawan. Among these islands, the tourist can go island hopping, diving and swim on the cool waters. In one of the islands, one can see the variety of fishes without swimming out too deep.

thanks A LOT bro!!!

8. El Nido – the palce has been known as the country’s last frontier and Palawan - the Island of the Gods. This place offers great beaches that will tae you away from the urban life. This place is the best to visit if you are looking for complete peace and quiet. Aside from the magnificent beach, the place also offers you a sight of the beautiful seascapes, towering marble cliffs and a variety of tropical birds.

My choices also. :D
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.
