Great Boracay page. You sure had good time there. I love that monkey & Dog friendship. May be it was not possible if they were free! Please indicate the hotel prices. I am sure to visit Manila soon.

Great Boracay tips! I have been there when it was not that developed yet. I was there in 1989...

Nice pics. 2 years ago I flew down to Boracay - from Manila, stayed there 1 week, didn't see as much as you. I am a lazy traveller.

I really am amazed on your Boracay Sundown pix. Wala akong masabi. I really admire your choice of subject. Wish I have the chance to visit Boracay on my next trip to Phils in 2010
