Hi Rios.

I wrote a long report on AC in the board members on tour section. As you might guess if you get round to reading it, I would prefer and recomend Pattaya absolutely any time, for hundreds of reasons.

But I agree that it's a shame that the Philippines doesn't have a great tourist industry. There are some wonderful, fascinating places to visit, like the islands of Bohol (if you're interested, please do a google images search and look at the 'Chocolate Hills of Bohol' - they really are amazing!) and the island of Negros. And the people are the sweetest on earth.

But they also have one of the most corrupt ruling elites on earth, who control the government absolutely and siphon off all the money, so nothing gets done - not even streetlighting and road repairs. Such a shame.
