There are tons of things that you can do in the Philippines with all of its 7, 107 islands, each has something different to offer from the others. To help you get through your all-Pinoy vacation, here is a list of what you can do during your trip to the Pearl of the Orient Seas:

• Taste the famous balut (duck fetus)
  
  If you have planned your vacation in Pinas (short for Pilipinas, the Filipino language equivalent of the Philippines), then you most definitely have heard of balut or the duck fetus. This iconic Filipino food can be found anywhere in the streets of the Philippines, especially when the sun sets. One reason why it is mostly sold at night is that this delicacy is not as palatable as it looks, but once you get a taste of this, you will definitely change your mind about balut. Plus, legend has it that balut is also a great aphrodisiac.
  
  Any trip to the Philippines would never be complete without a taste of balut so you should absolutely try it!
• Ride a Jeepney
  
  Another iconic symbol of the Philippines is its jeepney. Because not everyone in the country can afford to own a car, people usually take the jeepney to go around their localities. Before, it was merely a part of Philippine transportation, but now it is a significant part of the Filipino culture and even of Philippine tourism.
  
  Getting a ride in this local transportation is a must to get the ultimate experience of the Philippines.
• Attend a local fiesta
  
  When going around the country, it would be difficult not to take notice of how vibrant the Filipino culture is. Each province or town has its own flavor of the Filipino culture. This beautiful and colorful culture is on full display during a local annual festival.
  
  Among the many festivals that the country has, Sinulog in Cebu and the Ati-Atihan in Antique are among the most famous and hotly-anticipated celebrations of the year.
  
  Get to experience a one of a kind mardi gras in the Philippines and attend at least one festival in the country. These festivals are all year round in different places so party on!

With over 7, 107 islands that make up the Philippine archipelago, you will never run out of things to do in the Philippines. Enjoy its picturesque scenery, beautiful landscape and millions of warm and friendly people. Whatever your purpose is for traveling in the Philippines, you will definitely enjoy your trip.
