Places are like people.

Zamboanga is the one who loves you, but you won’t give it a chance because you are too scared. Batanes is the man of your dreams. It is honest, untouched, too good to be true. Siquijor is your twin flame. It has energies that will lead you to a whole new world where all things magical await. Iloilo is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Every word it says is a music to the ears. Bacolod is the style stunner. It takes the world as a runway. La Union is the free-spirited one. It has a wild heart that can’t be broken. Manila is your prodigal son. It will suck the sanity out of you, but you will still accept it with arms wide open after enduring a three-hour traffic jam.

And then there’s home. You.
