About Tourism Philippines | About PKTan

Tourism Philippines .com is an Unofficial Travel Guide website to Philippines, aimed to provide unbiased updated information for anyone who plans to travel to Philippines independently.

Tourism Philippines aims to be the best, most user-friendly, most informative and entertaining travel guide website dedicated to the fascinating Philippines, and to help travelers to understand the Philippines society and culture better.

Tourism Philippines is neither paid by nor beholden to any tourism interest, it isn’t existed to promote any hotels, products, travel agencies or service. This independence means I am free to guide my readers to the good stuff but warn them against the lousy services, review about the best places and the things to watch out for in each destination.

Tourism Philippines is not designed to impress anyone, but like a book. I think through the links you might need and the pages you’ll want to read next, and set up the navigation accordingly, and trust me, it’s very difficult to do that optimally in a database.

About PKTan
Having family and friends in Philippines, allowed me to take regular trips to Philippines every year. I have lived and studied in several places around the world including Singapore, London and Paris. I started blogging about three years ago, and the experience completely changed the way I interact with the Internet. Along the road I realized that there is an internet revolution going on, and I wanted to be part of it. This led me to quit my job. Currently I am working on entrepreneurial projects, most of them related to the Internet and innovative media.

Alot of things have changed over the years, but what hasn’t changed is my fascination with this beautiful, complicated country. I love advising travelers to Philippines and have developed this Philippines Travel Guide to share all my knowledge of Philippines with everyone.
