I did the Korean Visa Express Application, sent in my requirements on a Friday, got the result status online on Tuesday and was delivered to Angeles on Thursday.

Very helpful and courteous. Talang inexplain samin isa isa yung docs and escorted us hanggang sa locker ng VFS. Tapos waited for us to finish, naghingi din sya ng feedback kung kumusta yung process sa taas 🙂

They facilitate korean visa very efficiently! I requested their services for Korean Visa and Kuya Abel helped in working on the application (i.e. Filling up the form and providing substantial requirements). We never expected to get a multiple visa but we got them. It was quick turnaround, though initially they process according to their schedule (not on the next day upon your submission), i was able to acquire the visa in just 2 days from their scheduled submission to embassy. Good job on handling our request!

Very helpful and accomodating staff. They will assist you in the best way possible. Thank you for helping me get my 5yr multiple entry visa to korea.

Fast, accommodating and friendly staff. They will go the extra mile to double and triple check your requirements to help you for your VISA processing. Definitely recommended

Best Time to Travel the Philippines

The Philippines is a year-round destination that boasts a tropical climate and a wealth of natural and cultural attractions. However, there are certain times of the year that are considered the best for travelers, whether they are locals or foreigners.

• Dry Season: The dry season in the Philippines runs from December to May, making it the most popular time to visit the country. During this period, the weather is generally sunny and dry, with minimal rainfall, which makes it perfect for exploring the beaches and outdoor activities.
• Festival Season: The Philippines is known for its colorful festivals, and many of them take place during the first quarter of the year. Some of the most popular festivals include the Sinulog Festival in Cebu, Ati-Atihan Festival in Aklan, and the Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo. If you want to experience the vibrant culture of the Philippines, the festival season is the perfect time to visit.
• Off-Peak Season: The off-peak season in the Philippines is from June to November, and while it may be the rainy season, it’s also the best time to take advantage of the lower prices on accommodations and flights. The lush green landscapes and waterfalls are at their most beautiful during this season, and it’s also a great time for diving and surfing.

Ultimately, the best time to travel to the Philippines depends on your preferences and goals. Whether you’re looking for sunny beaches, vibrant festivals, or a more affordable vacation, the Philippines has something for everyone all year round. And if you’re not quite sure where to look, there are various travel agencies and tour operators you can turn to for assistance.

Travel Agent vs Tour Operator

If you’re planning a vacation, you may come across both tour operators and travel agents as potential sources for your travel needs. While both offer travel services, there are some key differences between the two that you should know.

Tour operators are responsible for designing and creating holiday packages that cover all the essential elements of travel. They take on the responsibility for the packages they create, ensuring that customers are compensated, taken to safety, and flown back home in the event of a tour failure. They have a direct relationship with the customer and often work with their own products and services.

Travel agents , on the other hand, act as intermediaries between tour operators and customers. They offer a wide range of products and services from different tour operators, giving customers a range of holiday packages to choose from. However, unlike tour operators, they don’t take responsibility for the products and services they sell. Instead, the tour operators remain responsible for what they create.

It’s important to note that the line separating the two roles can sometimes be blurred. Tour operators can offer their products and services directly to customers, bypassing travel agents. Meanwhile, travel agents can create their own packages to market to their customer base.

When choosing between a tour operator and a travel agent, consider what you’re looking for in a holiday package. If you want a specific, pre-packaged experience, a tour operator may be the best choice for you. If you want a wider range of options to choose from, a travel agent may be a better fit. Regardless of your choice, make sure to do your research and choose a reputable provider that will give you the best experience possible.

Why Hire a Travel Agency or a Tour Operator

Planning a trip can be exciting, but it can also be stressful and time-consuming. That’s where a travel agency or tour operator can help. Here are some reasons why you should consider hiring a travel agency or tour operator for your next trip:

• Expertise and Local Knowledge : Travel agencies and tour operators have the expertise and local knowledge to help you plan a trip that meets your needs and budget. They can recommend the best destinations, activities, and accommodations based on your preferences.
• Convenience : Planning a trip can be overwhelming, and a travel agency or tour operator can take care of all the details for you. They can handle everything from booking flights and accommodations to arranging transportation and activities.
• Personalized Service : Travel agencies and tour operators can provide personalized service, ensuring that your trip is tailored to your specific interests and needs. They can also offer insider tips and advice that can make your trip even more enjoyable.
• Savings : Travel agencies and tour operators can help you save money on your trip by offering exclusive discounts and deals. They can also help you find the best value for your money by recommending affordable options without sacrificing quality.
• Support : In the event that something goes wrong during your trip, travel agencies and tour operators can provide support and assistance. They can help you with everything from rebooking flights to finding medical assistance.

Hiring a travel agency or tour operator can make your trip planning experience more enjoyable and stress-free. With their expertise, convenience, personalized service, savings, and support, you can focus on enjoying your trip and creating unforgettable memories.

Hans did a great job organizing me my first holiday in the Philippines. When I arrived at each location people were there waiting for me. Even when fights were delayed. The Hotels/resorts were excellent. I can not recommend them enough. Thank-you once again Hans and staff.

Dear john, Very happy to hear that all went well. I appreciate your taking the time to let us know your experiences. Its great to hear you appreciate our choices of hotels. Thanks.

Now going back to Belgium. Writting you this email to thank you for organising our tour in North Luzon. Everything was perfect!!! We were very happy with our driver and guide, Edwin. He is a very good, safe and responsible driver. He was so kind and helpfull. He also gave us a lot of explanations about the places we visited and the life in the Philippines. Although it was a tiring tour, he was always smiling and fun to be with. He took great care of my brother who is not in a very good health condition. I shall surely recommend your agency as well as Edwin to anyone who wants to travel and visit the Philippines. Hoping we can come back soon and pass through your services for a tour in another part of the country. Thank you very much!! Kindest regards Alexia Greening Brussels, Belgium

Dear Alexia greening, I am very pleased with your very positive review. I appreciate you share your experience with other potential travellers. Very much appreciated. hans

Filipino Travel Center organised a 4- day-tour with a private car and driver ( Carloi) for us. The car was a brand new SUV - and Carloi kept it immaculate all the time. He also is an excellent and careful driver and a wonderful tourguide. He never talked us into things we did not want and we are happy to recommend him and the company. Everything was organised perfectly. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!

Dear Wolfgang, Your positive review is very much appreciated and of course iam very happy to hear you had a great time. Hans

we had two days great tour to pagasanjan falls and Tall volcano. they organize everything and it was excellent. i recommend asking for a guide who call MC. he was Reliable, educated and excellent guide

Overall, the tour was an appetiser to encourage further exploration of the city. The stop-over at the American War Cemetery was perhaps too long and only marginally of any interest. For me, it was the weakest part of the itinerary. By far, the most enjoyable section of the tour was the visit to the old quarter behind the Intramuros and the fascinating story of the country's struggle for independence from Spain. The churches, the old streets, the squares, the museums, the colours, the aromas and Manila's Hispanic past, plus the guide's, Rudi, personal takes and recollections of life in the Philippines, these are the real highlights of this tour.

Had two separate day trips with Carlos and very much enjoyed all of it. Great tour guide who knew lots about the city and other locations. Nice clean safe vehicles, knowlegabe staff, great time. I would highly recommend them again and if you come and like scenery you need to try the taal volcano hike. It was awesome!!!

Thank you for your positive review and good to hear you enjoyed our tours. Very much appreciated.

If you want to know more about the culture, history, and Tagalog language, we have more information for you!

History of the Philippines and the Tagalog Language

Despite the country’s turbulent history, Filipinos still managed to become one of the friendliest and warmest people in Asia. Aside from being a travel destination because of its food and beautiful beaches, the Philippine archipelago also attracts tourists through its colorful history.

Before its discovery by the Spanish empire, the country was populated by rival tribes, which all had distinct traditions, gods, and datu (chieftains or rulers). Unfortunately, earlier records regarding their culture were destroyed as the Spaniards colonized the country. With the land ruled by Spanish governors for more than 300 years, Filipinos were able to adopt its language, religion, customs, and even naming traditions.

Additionally, countries like the United States and Japan have also targeted the country due to its tactical position. It has become one of the major maritime trade routes, which is why the locals are well-versed in different languages and are familiar with other countries’ traditions.

As the way of living changed over time, the Philippines’ language has also been under consistent development. While Tagalog is considered the official language, you may be surprised to know that there are also about 170 regional dialects. Some of the examples are Cebuano, Chavacano, Waray, and Hiligaynon.

Culture of the Philippines

The country’s unique yet diverse culture is deeply rooted in the customs and traditions of its foreign colonizers and its neighboring countries. Due to its strategic location and a humble number of islands, history proves that the Philippines has always been part of the trade route of other nationalities such as Malays, Arabs, Chinese, and even Westerners. And since it is often visited, the locals have grown to love, learn, and ultimately adopt the cultures, dialects, cuisine, and even languages of these foreign visitors.

For instance, scattered all over the country are different religious monuments, mosques, and shrines in the hopes of catering to the varied religious communities existing in the country. While it is true that most of the Filipinos are baptized as Catholics, there are still a considerable number of people who come from different religions. The country and the government fully recognize this by proclaiming specific holidays for each!

Despite having an intense blend of traditions, Filipinos developed distinct qualities that set them apart. For instance, even today, the locals (along with their extended families) still put a premium on joining community festivals as this is an opportunity for them to show appreciation towards music, fashion and art, food, and religion.

What Is The Tagalog Language?

You might be wondering why the Philippines does not seem to have its own writing system, unlike other Asian countries. Well, to be honest, the country has its old writing system called “Baybayin.” While the origins of Baybayin are still unclear even today, it can be noted that the script is influenced by Proto-Sinaitic script. This 14th-century writing was rampantly used in Luzon back in the 16th -17th century, but it has somehow lost its popularity as the locals learned about the English.

Note : In 2018, the Baybayin is slowly being revived by the country, so some of the busiest places in Manila are adapting Baybayin translations in government signages. As a tourist, you do not have to worry since about 90% of signage are still in English.

Tagalog Language Structure

Ready to speak Tagalog? To navigate the Philippines like a pro, allow us to share with you the basics, such as the Tagalog alphabet and sentence structure.

Tagalog Alphabet

What makes Tagalog an easy language to learn is that its alphabet is reasonably easy to memorize. Each letter is called titik or letra , and each of them represents a spoken sound that is directly similar to the English alphabet. The modern Filipino alphabet holds over 28 letters: a 26-letter set from the Latin alphabet, one special Spanish “Ñ” ( /ɲ/ or sounded as “enye”), and the Tagalog digraph “Ng” ( /ŋ/ as the “ng” in words like “sing,” “length,” and “thing”).

Tagalog Sentences

Compared to English, the Tagalog sentence stricture can be deemed as somewhat flexible. To form basic sentences in the Tagalog language, you may use the structure “Adjective +Subject/Pronoun.” For instance, you may simply say Maganda si Beng , which is literally translated as “Beautiful is Beng.” Another example is Naiinitan ako , which literally translates to “Feeling hot me.”

Of course, you may also use the classic SVO agreement to make sentences like Ako ay pagod , which means “I am tired” in English.

Tips to Learn Tagalog Fast

Learning any language entails that one must put effort and set aside time to actually read, write, listen, and converse using the target language. Scientifically, it is found that if you will set aside time and immerse yourself in the language, you are trying to learn (may it be through music, movies, or apps) every single day, then there is a huge chance that you will become proficient in no time.  To speed things us as you learn Tagalog, we listed three major tips below:

• Focus on vocabulary. Language proficiency is highly dependent on strong vocabulary size. It plays a significant role as words and phrases alone can help build context, which can significantly assist in analyzing what is being said.
• Play Tagalog music . Not only is this a great tool for immersing oneself in the vocabulary words, Tagalog slang, and phrases, but it also helps in giving you an idea about the Philippines’ culture and traditions.
• Use mobile apps . Unlock the Tagalog language by consistently allowing yourself to learn systematically through dedicated language apps and websites.

To ensure a safe trip in the Philippines, it’s recommended to refrain from drinking tap water to prevent waterborne illnesses. Opt for bottled or purified water. Exercise caution in crowded areas to minimize the risk of petty theft, and show respect for local customs and traditions. Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites, to display cultural sensitivity.

The ideal time to visit the Philippines is generally during the dry season, spanning from November to April. This period offers pleasant weather with minimal rainfall, making it perfect for outdoor activities and beach vacations. However, regional weather patterns may vary, so it’s advisable to check specific areas for accurate information.

The duration of your trip to the Philippines depends on your interests and preferred destinations. While a week provides a glimpse of certain regions, a more comprehensive experience can be achieved with 10 to 14 days. This allows ample time to explore diverse landscapes, beaches, cultural sites, and, if desired, multiple islands.

The cost of a vacation in the Philippines can vary. While some areas offer budget-friendly options, others cater to luxury travelers. Accommodation, transportation, and dining choices provide a range of possibilities, allowing travelers to plan a trip that aligns with different budgets.
