The Republic of the Philippines is an island nation located in South-Eastern Asia.
Hitching on the Philippines is compared to other southeast Asian countrys 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. 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, but well this is not really the place to mention, eh?
