The Philippine Travel Blog is an experimental project on group blogging with focus on Travel and Philippine destinations. Our goal is to promote each and every travel destination of the Philippine's 7,107 islands, serve as a guide to tourists and travellers, and educate the reading public about the great wonders and richness of the Philippine archipelago -- all thru the power of blogging.
ABS-CBN’s noontime show Wowowee (hosted by Willie Revillame) is thought to be one of the must-visit attractions among OFWs and balik-bayans. Wowowee is shown on The Filipino Channel (TFC) worldwide.
