Binondo Manila


Binondo is an enclave in Manila  primarily populated by ethnic Chinese living in the Philippines. It is the oldest Chinatown in the world, established in 1594. Historically, this was where the Spanish permitted converted sangleys, their indigenous Filipino wives, and their mixed-race descendants, the mestiza de sangley or Chinese mestizos, to reside. Similarly, Parían, an area near Intramuros, was where the Spanish first restricted unconverted Chinese immigrants. They allowed sangley settlement at Parían because it was within the range of Intramuros' cannons, and they felt they could control any uprising from the labourers.

Boracay: Summer Travel Fun Events


Summer Time in the Philippines and on of  the most well know beaches in the country is Boracay!

June 2011, I had fun and enjoyable get away with my friends in Boracay. Second time again to be in a relaxing place of white sand and lots stuff to do.  

Reposting this list of events, the beautiful  white powdered sand and blue clear water of Boracay would absolutely makes your summer get away more fun and exciting this year.
Traditionally the peak season on Boracay is from November to May and hence it also sees the island geared up to party and celebrate all the big holidays, Christmas and New Year, Chinese New Year and Holy Week. These super-peak times are when Boracay is at its busiest and liveliest with families and groups of friends flocking to the island to make the most of the festivities. If you want a quieter break then avoid these dates.
Other events held at this time include amazing Halloween spectacles, fantastic Christmas and New Year celebrations, the kiteboard and windsurfing championships are held in early January, the Kalibo Ati-Atihan in late January and the Dragon Boat races in May.
