7 Reasons Why Summer In The Philippines Is The Worst
Don’t we just hate being in the country during Summer? I mean there are so many things that make the Philippines the worst place to spend your Summer vacation. Let me tell you a couple of them.
1. The beaches and islands are ugly
Like soooo ugly!
We can’t stand the sight of them.
2. There aren’t any weekend getaway destinations
