Thanks, Malc. I hope so too. The opportunity was screaming out at me the year before last when I was there. There is so much enthusiasm, and it's not a destination much promoted - yet, although some parts are a tropical paradise.
I think we'll start to get busy after the Glasgow Holiday Show next month (where the Phils Embassy is giving us free space on their stand), and once we get freely listed as a supplier on the wowphilippines.co.uk website.
It's taken us from last March to build the website to what it is now, and of course it helps that I've been able to do that myself!
Last summer's traveling around the island was all about making contacts, and I envisage this summer's trip to be just as exhausting.
Diane, although the native language is Tagalog (with numerous dialects), English is widely spoken. Most signage is in English. It is argued that the Philippines is the 3rd largest English speaking nation in the world. (That's what they claim, but it's disputed in various quarters).
