OFTHE PHILIPPINES ON $40 A DAY:
'I liked the fact that each
experience was recounted having "been there and done that", with careful
notes on costs, pros and cons, which help make it a great reference medium
for all those wishing to go to the magical archipelago at some time in the
future, and make their own holiday memories.'
