Hi imagine – You would live on Mt. Apo? Hmm… have you ever been up there? There is nothing up there! And, generally, you can’t legally live up on the mountain. You even have to get a permit to climb up there. About the only things up there are a few geothermal installations. I suppose it could be an interesting life, though!

If things could be ideal. I would live on Mt. Apo 6 months of the year, typhoon season. Then explore the Philippine’s nooks, crannies, and unknown spots while sailing Imagine the other 6 months.

We don’t have a plan written in stone yet, so we may very well end up in Cebu City for sometime while Melanie helps with the family business. As always time will tell……i2f…John

Sounds like a good series of articles to look forward to. As you know it was my accidential discovery of Iligan City while websurfing a few years ago that first brought my attention to The Philippines and particularly Mindanao. The wide variety of interesting and informative articles on your websites have enabled me to become familiar with other parts of the island I might have otherwise overlooked. I have always found the information provided by those that are there in the city or locality being discussed, to be more informative, accurate and up to date than dedicated travel and tourist type websites and books that often can be a bit stale by the time they are found or read.

Hi John – I hope you enjoy the series of articles. I believe that all of our regular writers will be submitting articles about their home area (still waiting on a couple of them), so it should show a real cross-section of the Philippines.

Hi Bob, Great idea! I’ll be looking forward to it. As you say, everybody has their personal preferences, even for a vacation trip, so lets see how your guest writers can influence your readers.

Hi Wildcat – If you go to the LiP Photo Gallery, you can then click on the link in the left column at the top where it says “How to create your own album” – follow those instructions, and you can then upload all the photos you want to your very own gallery album. We don’t have a place where users can upload videos, but perhaps I’ll do something like that in the future, I have gotten a few such requests. If you have any trouble, please let me know, and I’ll assist if I can.
