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

If you didn’t get it by now, this was a very sarcastic approach to show how your summer vacation can be best spent in the Philippines. This is our country we’re talking about after all. Love your own!
