North Luzon the Paradise of the Philippines.

10 years ago

A lot of people talk about the filth and pollution they see in the streets of the cities of the Philippines. Let me assure you, that the North Luzon city's like Dasol, Pangasinan and the surrounding cities are not like the bigger city's in Luzon, Visayas and Mindano.
I am an American man married to a Fhilipina from Quezon City. which is the largest city in size and population in the Philippines.
I have travelled all over the Phil's and when I retire next year I will move to Dasol and build my house there. The days are warm, but the nights are 60s this time of year. I had to put a long sleeve shirt on because of the cooler air there.
The 100 Island Lake's is also in the area. Many beautiful beach fronts are there if your a water person like I am. If you visit, go to the Banana Boat Resort. Beautiful and inexpensive resort with pools and right on the ocean front.
Forget Manila and the dirty filth and pollution where the wealthy drive crazy and the poor are everywhere.
Have questions..drop me a line and I will answer you.
