First Time in Philippines! Best Country in SE Asia?

Welcome to my full journey through the Philippines and honestly… I fell in love🇵🇭❤️ Before coming here, I didn’t know what to expect, but this country surprised me in the best possible way. Manila was modern, clean, green and full of character, way more vibrant than I imagined🌆 The impressive malls, friendly people and hidden corners made it an exciting (and underrated) capital to explore. Then I headed to Cebu City, exploring a more local side, food markets, historical landmarks and everyday life🌿 It was a meaningful stop that showed me just how rich the history of the Philippines truly is. And finally… Siargao. Pure paradise🏝️ Crystal-clear water, palm-lined roads, incredible surf culture and sunsets that felt unreal 🌅 It wasn’t just beautiful and soo peaceful. The Philippines isn’t on many travellers’ radars… but maybe it should be. I hope this video shows you why.
