The '''Republic of the Philippines''' is an island nation located in [[South-Eastern Asia]].
Hitching on the '''Philippines''' is compared to other Southeast Asian countries a little bit harder. You can make 200-300 km a day, maybe a bit more, depending on the route. Near tollgates and ''on'' the NLEX/SLEX (North/South Luzon Expressway) you will probably get in trouble with the police. Nevertheless they are friendly at many checkpoints. Ferries are frustrating though.
<!--The Manila MRT/LRT (Metro, not to be confused with the urban sprawl "metro manila") < whats this information about? -->
 
===Cities===
* [[Manila]]
* [[Quezón City]]

Be careful on the [[Mindanao]] island, especially in the city [[Zamboanga]]. Getting a free boat (there is only one regular one: [[Zamboanga]] to Sabah state in [[Malaysia]]) From [[Indonesia]] to [[Malaysia]] it's very very hard, [[Malaysia]] immigration is pretty tough though.
Air Asia has discount flights to [[Malaysia]].
If you like boats you can try your luck at [http://www.sailphi.org.ph/clubs.htm ==Cities==* [[Manilahere]]* [[Quezón City]]* [[Zamboanga]].
