MABUHAY! Greetings from Manila, the Philippine capital.
After you clear immigration and customs, our tour guide will meet you and make arrangements for your transfer to the hotel so you may check in. You will have the remainder of the day to yourself in order to adjust to the new time zone.
Were you aware? This city is referred to as the “Pearl of the Orient.” Museums, parks, theatres, retail centres, and a wide variety of dining options are just a few of the attractions in this vibrant old city!
*MABUHAY signifies welcome or long live.* You just learnt your first word in Tagalog!

MAGANDANG UMAGA !
After breakfast, take a tour of Manila’s walled city, which was first constructed in 1571 by Spanish sailor Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, who served as the first Governor-General of the Spanish East Indies and created the first Spanish settlement. Visit the Manila Cathedral, Saint Augustine’s Church, and Santiago Fortress as well to learn about José Rizal’s life and how his writings inspired the people’s revolt. Riding in a horse-drawn carriage or “Calesa” through the city will be an option.
You can choose to participate in the optional Private Filipino Home Cooking Class or spend the afternoon exploring the city on your own.
”Good morning” is what “MAGANDANG UMAGA” signifies.

After checking into your hotel, take in the bleak peace and quiet here and unwind for the remainder of the day. Enjoy yourself while touring some of the Philippines’ stunning islands!

TARA NA!
Spend your free day exploring the area on your own or by signing up for the optional El Nido Island Hopping Tour.
Part of Palawan Island, El Nido is a well-liked location for swimming, diving, and kayaking because of its white sand beaches, coral reefs, limestone cliffs, and beautiful, fish-filled waters. El Nido is a starting point for island hopping and discovering the Bacuit archipelago’s hidden gems.
El Nido Island Hopping Tour is an optional program (not included) that requires a minimum of four participants.
During this island-hopping adventure, you will get the chance to touch and sink your soles into coral reefs, white sand beaches and more.
After leaving El Nido, make a stop at the Big Lagoon, where only a few hundred tourists are allowed admission each day and reservations are required in advance. From there, proceed to the Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island, and Seven Commandos Island. Together with the verdant tropical surroundings that envelop you at every turn, these charming white sand beaches are now real and not just seen on posters. Admire the breathtaking vistas of the karst terrain while swimming in the crystal-clear blue ocean, as is the case in much of El Nido.
Let’s move forward, *TARA NA*

PAALAM!
As you return home, you must bid farewell to the amazing Philippines.
The conclusion of our Tagalog service and practice.
Until the next time, MARAMING SALAMAT PO!
*PAALAM = farewell*
*MARAMING SALAMAT PO (formal) = thank you very much
I would definitely take the tour again and heartily recommend it. We had plenty of time, saw a lot in a single day, and had a great experience.
The icing on the cake for an amazing trip has to be the beach!
Highly recommend
From seeing chocolate hills to getting a close-up look at the small tarsiers, it was an amazing experience.
Paoay Church was wonderful, and we all enjoyed our trip to Malacanang. Well, Laoag City was alright.
