At a Glance
----------------------------------------------------------------
With a reputation for being chaotic and corrupt, the Philippines has something of an image problem. But most who make the journey to the 7000-odd islands that comprise the Philippines are pleasantly surprised by their beauty and by the friendliness of the people.

Most of the Philippines is laidback, stable and  safe. The locals are an exceptionally helpful bunch and there are fantastic reefs and fish. On top of this, transport is cheap, the food is good, accommodation is plentiful and (for the monolinguistic) English is widely spoken

Seasons
----------------------------------------------------------------
On the whole excellent weather all year round with a minimal risk of typhoons during the summer months. Hottest time of year is May to August, the ‘coolest’ time December to February. "High season" is traditionally late December to early May, although the area is busy at weekends throughout the year and during any Asian Holiday. Some resorts raise prices at peak times .
