ReplyMy next destination would be the Bucas Grande Islands. Gosh! Browsing the pictures of the island makes me more excited about the trip, all I need is to count the remaining days for everything is already set and I don’t have to worry for my excess luggage anyway.
ReplyBucas Grande Islands is a must have experience, I can see on the pictures that it is “more fun in the Philippines.” I think Philippine’s Department of Tourism is doing great in promoting tourism in their country, I heard that since they’ve used the internet and social media in promoting the country’s tourism, the number of their tourists increased.
