Top 5 Most Indigenous Animals In The Philippines
Today, I thought we would take a look at animals that are unique to the Philippines, animals that generally don’t live anywhere else in the world but the Philippines. Oh, it is possible that you may find a few in places like Indonesia or Malaysia, but the vast majority of the population of these animals are found only in the Philippines.
1. Philippine Eagle
Also known as the Monkey Eating Eagle. There was a time, 20 years ago or more where there were only a few of these birds left in the world. Today, they could not be said to be thriving, but the population is on the increase, largely due to the efforts of the Philippine Eagle Center right in Davao. For nearly 20 years the Philippine Eagle Center (operated by the Philippine Eagle Foundation) has been breeding Philippine Eagles in captivity, and later releasing the birds in the wild. The program has been quite successful and has probably been responsible for keeping the Philippine Eagle alive at all. If not for the Philippine Eagle Center the Philippine Eagle probably would have been extinct by now.
2. Philippine Crocodile
This crocodile is found only in the Philippines as well. It is also known as the Mindoro Crocodile or even the Philippine Freshwater Crocodile. Unfortunately, the Philippine Crocodile is in serious danger of extinction at this time. This crocodile is not to be confused with the Indo-Pacific Crocodile which is also found in the Philippines. The Philippine Crocodile is found only in the Philippines, while the Indo-Pacific Crocodile is common in many countries.
3. Philippine Flying Lemur
One of two species of lemurs that can fly, and this one is found exclusively in the Philippines. This lemur can be found in Basilan, Leyte, Samar, Bohol and Mindanao. The vast majority of the population is in Bohol and Mindanao. The average Philippine Flying Lemur weighs from 2 to 4 pounds. These lemurs are generally considered to be pests, as they eat fruit crops.
4. Philippine Mouse Deer
This is the world’s smallest hoofed mammal. It can be found on a small island called Balabac, which is south of Palawan.
5. Tamaraw
The Tamaraw is a pygmy version of a Carabao. A carabao is the Philippine name of what westerners would call a water buffalo.

3. Dahlia
Perennial plants, with mostly tuberous roots. While some have herbaceous stems, others have stems which lignify in the absence of secondary tissue and resprout following winter dormancy, allowing further seasons of growth. As a member of the Asteraceae the flower head is actually a composite (hence the older name Compositae) with both central disc florets and surrounding ray florets. Each floret is a flower in its own right, but is often incorrectly described as a petal, particularly by horticulturalists. The modern name Asteraceae refers to the appearance of a star with surrounding rays. |

4. Jade Vine
The plant grows beside streams in damp forests, or in ravines. The inflorescences are only produced by mature vines. Each individual bloom resembles a stout-bodied butterfly with folded wings; they have evolved certain modifications to allow them to be pollinated by a species of bat that hangs upside down on the inflorescence to drink its nectar. The flowers are also visited by a species of wasp, and are home to a species of butterflies.
There are several other species of Strongylodon, but the superficially similar red jade vine, Mucuna bennettii, is a species belonging to a different genus, Mucuna. It seems to be endemic to the Philippines and is usually found in forests.Propagation has always been difficult. It is considered an endangered species due to the destruction of its habitat and the decrease of its natural pollinators. There seems to be a method of marcotting through mature woody stems. It is best planted in ground near a water source, but not inundated. The vine entwines itself through the trunk and branches of trees and the leaves spread over the canopy. The flowers hang like clusters of grapes.

Top 5 Most Dangerous Animals In The World
There are lots of animals that are really venomous or dangerous and that is what I am going to feature this time. There are animals that are really venomous such king cobra, etc. but there are most venomous and dangerous animals that really exists.
2. Africanized Honey Bee
An experiment gone wrong, in 1957 a Brazilian bee keeper who was trying to interbreed European and African honey bees accidently let some of his “pets” get away. Much more aggressive than their European counterparts, these genetically mixed “killer bees” have since then spread through out the Americas. They have come to be feared in some regions because of their tendency to swarm relentlessly and aggressively chase their victims for miles.
3. Rhinoceros
Rhino related deaths are not an uncommon occurrence in many parts of the world. Having terrible eyesight, they are easy to startle and once they have you in their sights it can be hard to make an escape (unless you can run faster than 40 mph). See the horn? Enough said.
4. Cone Snail
One drop of venom from this little bugger is enough to end 20 human lives. Sometimes colloquially known as the “cigarette snail,” it has been said that when you are stung by this creature, you’ll have just about enough time to smoke a cigaret before you stop breathing. It’s not like it matters anyway though…there is no antivenom.
5. Stone Fish
Lying camouflaged on the ocean floor, this ugly little mass of destruction calmly waits for other fish to swim by before opening its jaws with lightning speed and consuming its prey…all in less than .015 seconds. Also known as the “worlds most venomous fish”, stepping on its spines will at best cost you your leg and at worst, your life.
1. Deathstalker
This highly venomous scorpion residing primarily in North Africa and the Middle East is responsible for over 75% of scorpion related deaths every year. Although healthy adults usually only feel unbearable pain, children that are envenomated suffer fever, coma, convulsions, and paralysis before their lungs fill up and they drown in their own fluids.

Top 5 Most Beautiful Places In The Philippines
"Its more fun in the Philippines" that's what Filipino says. There's a lot of beautiful cultures in the Philippines and the people there were great, and most of all there's a lot of places in out there. This article shows the top 5 most beautiful places in the Philippines.
2. Tinago Falls in Iligan City, Lanao Del Norte
3. El Nido Palawan
4. Sagada
5. Basilica del Sto. Nino
1. The rice terrace fields of Banaue
The Banaue Rice Terraces (Filipino: Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banawe) are 2,000-year-old terraces that were carved into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines by ancestors of the indigenous people. The Rice Terraces are commonly referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". It is commonly thought that the terraces were built with minimal equipment, largely by hand. The terraces are located approximately 1500 metres (5000 ft) above sea level. They are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the rainforests above the terraces. It is said that if the steps were put end to end, it would encircle half the globe.
Locals to this day still plant rice and vegetables on the terraces, although more and more younger Ifugaos do not find farming appealing, often opting for the more lucrative hospitality industry generated by the terraces. The result is the gradual erosion of the characteristic "steps", which need constant reconstruction and care. In 2010, a further problem was drought, with the terraces drying up completely in March of that year.

2. Tinago Falls in Iligan City, Lanao Del Norte
Tinago Falls is a waterfall in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. It is one of the main tourist attractions in Iligan, a city known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls.
Tinago is a Filipino term meaning "hidden", the falls being hidden in a deep ravine. Trekking to the falls requires approximately 500 descending steps called the winding staircase.
The falls is high, its very cold waters cascading beautifully into a deep and calm basin-like pool which appears like a blue-colored lagoon. Under the falls is a small cave where people can enter and listen to the rumbling waters.

3. El Nido Palawan
El Nido in Palawan is not only one of the most beautiful places in the Philippines; it is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world. If you enjoy island hopping to breath taking lagoons and white sandy beaches which you only imagined could be found in heaven, kayaking, snorkeling and diving; then El Nido is a place you can not miss. El Nido has 45 islands, over 100 white sandy beaches, there are 250 million year-old limestone and marble cliffs, 2645 hectares of mangrove, 888 different species of fish and 4 archaeological sites.
This has been one of the most favored destinations of Filipinos and after being exposed by National Geographic as one of the top travel destinations in the world in 2007, the rest of the world followed. You will find many Europeans on your excursions to the attractions with you.
Most of the forty five islands that make up El Nido have pockets and coves of fine white sand beaches, which are absolutely amazing for sunbathing and enjoying a picnic lunch on the beach. On your journey in this tropical paradise, you will see limestone caves which open up into lagoons and ancient caves with dripstone formations.

4. Sagada
As a travel destination, Sagada is a place that many people tend to visit after already going all the way to Banaue or Baguio, but the area in itself is a worthy travel destination and a place that many Filipinos have on their travel bucket list.
It is very different from the traditional Philippines travel destination which is typically an island setting with thick jungle on the inside, beautiful beaches on the outside and many small and exotic islands nearby for exploration.
Sagada has tall waterfalls, limestone cliffs and a massive cave system. Compared to Manila and many Philippine cities, the climate of Sagada is much cooler and more serene.

5. Basilica del Sto. Nino
Cebu City as one of the larger cities in the Philippines can be said to be like Manila, but without the chaos. Sure, traffic can really congested, but not anywhere close to the insanity of Manila’s highways. While Cebu’s population is mostly Filipino (including those with Spanish and Chinese blood), there is a large contingent of Americans, Europeans and as of late, South Koreans.
The Cebuanos are known throughout the Philippines for their good manners, hospitality and easy going nature. Many foreigners have decided to call Cebu their home for this reason. With an international airport, modern business parks, new large shopping malls, a vast seaport and multiple universites – Cebu has become a very well planned first class municipality with great charm.
Not many know that Cebu was the Philippines first city. Rich with history, excellent food, culture and natural wonders, there are a plethora of things to do in Cebu. The Cebu province is so large that it would take several days to visit most of the great tourist spots and attractions.
Basilica del Sto. Nino – Considered to be the Philippines’ oldest Roman Catholic Church, founded in the 16th century, the Basilica del Sto. Nino is one of the most famous landmarks in Cebu.
