Languages in the Philippines
There are two official languages of the Philippines, Tagalog and English. However, there is another language present in much of the Philippines called Visayan. Visayan is also know as Bisayan and Cebuano. There are likely differences between the three based on where you live but nothing that I can yet put my finger on. When I ask, I’m usually told they are the same language. I really doubt they are exactly the same because other say there are differences from town to town even in tagalog.

I was afraid it might rain on me. I was also on my walk and didn’t want to stop for a long time to keep the aerobic time up. That wasn’t very smart though, how often is it one see’s a rainbow as full or beautiful as this one was? Hopefully it wont by another 10 or 20 or maybe 40 years before I see one this nice.

Wow, the temperatures have fallen to around 28C\82F for highs and the wend is blowing with a gale warning issued over most of the Philippines and all the Filipina think they are turning into ice cycles and I’m in heaven!
Its a little odd that to me that I love 82 degree weather but I do. Last year when I got here the temperatures were in this range and I was extremely hot.
