Whenever I find myself in a new town or province, I make sure that I bring home with me memories through photos of each place I visit. These are but samples of the places in the Philippines I visited. Most of these photos were taken using a point-and-shoot Sony Cybershot so it does not do justice to the actual beauty of the place. More than what I have captured on camera, the regions in this country is resplendent with a colorful culture of hospitable people, of festivities that bring joy to the heart, and the melodies of nature are something that cannot be aptly captured by any documenting device. If I have more time and money, I'd regularly go back to these places -- to savor the sunrise, the majesty of mist-covered mountaintops and serenity of the sea. For in doing so, I do not only find beauty in each place I travel... I also find myself.
