Summer in the Philippines

Summer in the Philippines is a perfect place to go. We have a lot of beautiful beaches to go, you can choose anywhere you like. It is a perfect place to enjoy with the whole family especially it is summer vacation and the kids are free to go for they don’t have a class.

One of the beauty spots he in the Philippines is the Boracay beach resort a beautiful beach on the west coast with very fine white sand, particularly near Balabag. The water is quite shallow, however. For snorkeling the east coast is better but beware of rips. There are scores of little sandy bays scattered around the island; they make an attractive alternative to the ever-popular White Beach.

Another one is also a beautiful beaches in my place cebu located in Daan Bantayan. Aside from enjoying a day with the sun, sea and sand, the resort also offers other activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, beach volleyball, boating, water skiing, billiards and table tennis. The resort also has a floating bar. When the sea is calm and there is a sufficient number of guests on board the floating bar, it will be pulled by bancas to circumnavigate the island. It has become a very popular two-hour trip for the guests and it is always fun.

Philippines summer vacation is a very enjoyable place, a place to relaxed and have a sun bathing on the beach. Philippines summer vacation has a plenty of place you can visit in different beaches around the country. Philippines summer vacation is really an enjoyable place to go. No one compares Philippines summer vacation is the best.

It’s now the month of April and I can feel the heat of the sun at home or even at night when I sleep. I can feel as I walk on the street. Hello, summer vacation as what my kids always shouting for they are very happy and free from going back to school everyday.

My kids are really very happy, Hello summer vacation, Free again! Care free again! No teachers to prod them to study take exams or make long assignments! No need to wake up early each morning! It is fun, food, sleep, play and relaxation. My elder son said.

Strictly speaking, summer is not Filipino. Summer is one of the four seasons of the year in temperature countries, the tree others being spring, autumn or fall and winter. Tropical country like Philippines have only two seasons- the rainy season and the dry seasons. What I now refer to is the “summer” is actually the hottest months of the dry season.

Philippines summer vacation is quite hot!!! And my kids are very excited to have a vacation in my home town in Biliran, province where their grandparents are staying now. We have a beautiful beach. White sand and running water that they can swim like a swimming pool, and the advantage of our pool is running water and a fresh and purified drinking water that comes from under the land or what we call in our place a “tubod” originally come under the soil. During hot time the water is so cold and nice to stay under the water for swimming and we can’t fell that summer vacation is there.

Philippine summer vacation for my kids should not all be play and relaxation. Philippines summer vacation should also a time for reflection. For thanking God we have our homes, our parents, our excursion sites and summer. It is also a time for helping mother in the home chores and to learn how to do things especially those where not taught in school.

Remember children, as I told them that Philippines summer vacation is only a vacation. It is a part of our life but it is only a small part. The bigger part is in striving to be better educated to better earn and to better live.
