It’s an amazing island! Probably my favorite island so far as well!

i was in philippines including siargao late april/late may & it was awesome.out of all the places i went siquijor,bohol/panglao & siargao were my fav. i always motorbike around. i went too those pools & saw that coconut forest view.also saw that man-made forest in bohol which was beautiful..i was at those pools in siargao late morning with a ton of ppl mostly locals & we all had fun jumping off that big rock into that one really deep pool. also tried calamansi juice 4 first time and it was cold & delish & cheap too..but that coco juice they sell on the side of the road is unreal good with those chunks of coconut in there.

Cockfighting is not only in the Philippines, I believe it is commonly found throughout the Southeast Asian region, including here in Indonesia. Cockfighting in my country has also been a culture in society since ancient times, but since our government banned all forms of gambling for good in the early 70s, cockfighting has slowly disappeared itself from the culture of our society. Of all regions in Indonesia, only Bali still legalizes cockfighting because the local government insists that it is their culture that must be preserved, and guarantees that it no longer involves gambling in it, but still gambling is still often found..
