The Philippines is a nation with many islands scattered on the Pacific ocean. Bacoor, where our missionaries diligently working, has population of 600,000. With one of three people live in extremely poor condition. It only takes 30 minutes to drive from downtown Manila (the capital city) to Bacoor. The Philippines is a religious free country and most of the population are Catholic. The currency is Philippine Peso, the conversation rate is about $1 = ₱ 50. The voltage is 220V, which means, a converter is needed if you are bringing certain appliances. The majority of the population speaks Filipino, but people with higher education can speak English to a degree. Since the Philippines is a multi-ethnicity nation, many other dialects are being used as well.
The best time to visit the Philippines is from Jan. through March. It’s the coolest there, with temperature around 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit. April through September are the hottest seasons in the Philippines, with 100 degrees Fahrenheit and almost 100% humidity. You will feel like you are in a sauna room all the time. Oct. to Nov. is the rainy season in the Philippines, which is the cheapest time to travel, but you will need sufficient rain gear and coats!
