Jojo's Philippines
We asked Jojo Clemente, President, Rajah Tours Philippines
"What I love about the Philippines is that it is unique in the context of being a country in Asia. Due to our history, we are not as Asian as our neighbours but not really Western on the other hand. I also love that our people are warm and friendly which puts our visitors at ease the moment they interact with us. I love that our country is blessed with so many natural wonders and attractions that guests are genuinely surprised and delighted when they get here."
