If you live in Manila and
you’re a Filipino, then no
doubt you must know what a
barangay is. By definition it’s
a “community” or a
“neighborhood;” in essence
it’s a brotherhood and
sisterhood all rolled into one
happy, noisy, and nosey
package. Best of all, it’s an
all-welcoming club that
embraces all nonclub
members like long-lost soul
mates. For sheer hospitality
and warmth, no place on the
planet quite compares with
Barangay Manila.
Boracay boasts of a sugary white sand beach and azure blue waters. The best part of the island is the four-kilometer White Beach known to be the "finest beach in the world." The surrounding water is shallow and the sand is finer and brighter than most beaches in the archipelago. White Beach is so, soooo fine, it feels like treading on miles of baby powder!
