The Philippines – Know Before You Go!

Be sure to check out our extensive, informative and educational  web page at: http://www.philippine-travelers.com/page_3.php , as well as this blog.

This Blog is prepared and presented to you by the ORIGINAL “Philippine-Traveler”. Fifteen years on the internet. Many have copied, and even used names that sound like ours, but we are proud to say that WE are the ORIGINAL.

Philippine Travelers Blog hopes to gather and present valuable information on where to stay, eat, explore and visit in the Philippines.

All are welcome to post herein, however, top priority goes to those venues, (hotels, resorts, restaurants, or other travel adventures), that are easily accessible and/or staff that is very hospitable to seniors and/or persons with disabilities (handicapped) including but not limited to those travelers requiring wheelchairs, walkers, canes, etc..

We especially appreciate your comments and feedback  based on your own adventures, activities and experiences (both good and bad). However, please be sure to be specific as to the comments you make, so that we might investigate, and other might consider your comments in formulating their travel plans.

We will also consider invitations and links from venues in the Philippines who feel their facilities and/or staff are friendly and accessible to senior citizens (elderly) and/or those who may be disabled, especially wheelchair access. Any and all such venues should provide us with photos showing wheelchair accessibility, as well as a link to their website, as well as telephone numbers, so our readers can make reservations. We shall allow your posts immediately, but be prepared for our field researchers to show up and verify.

We make several trips per year and will do our best to verify any and all locations and comments presented.

Finally, we all know that the Filipino (Pilipino) people are among the most industrious, hospitable and friendly people in the world. But much of the Philippines is not wheel chair or walker friendly.  Therefore we ask you to post both suggestions and warnings on places to go.   Please be SPECIFIC in your suggestions. Name the exact locations to which you are referring. (Examples would be restaurants, hotels, resorts, fishing boats, ferry boats, dive resorts and/ or other adventures which are easily accessed by wheel chairs, containing ramps, etc.; or, as we know, most beaches are very hard to access, however, some may have a dock or wharf (called pantalan) from which a handicapped/disabled person may be able to access and fish from, or just enjoy the breeze, such as those found in Gingoog City, Dipolog and others.)

God Bless and Mabuhay!
