7,107 islands mean that you’ll never run out of beaches in this country. I’ve always dreamed of exploring my own country, and counting the number of Philippine beaches I’ve been to feels like a good measure of how much more this Juan needs to Juander. That’s not to say that there isn’t anything else to do—going inland will reveal the beautiful land, inhabited by even more beautiful people.
…and I haven’t even mentioned the unique combination of Malay, Chinese, Spanish, and American culture!
