According to my INDIAN classmate at AIM, the PHILIPPINES is the HAPPIEST PLACE on earth. He said that he was able to visit and stay in almost all the countries in the world because of his work. During his one year of stay in the PHILIPPINES, he was able to compare it with other countries. He concluded that there is no other country in the world that have grand festivities, colorful events, interesting places and amazingly happy people like what we have in the PHILIPPINES.
Certainly, IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES.

In my more than 4 decades of existence in this world, I still have to explore considerable things, places and events about our country since majority of my time were either spent in the numerous classrooms attending various courses or staying in the office either crafting or editing words, sentences, paragraphs, and even figures.
I started my JOURNEY in conducting research about different FESTIVALS in our country and hopefully I can visit the different places and witness the festivities before I am too weak to do so...
