the new wonders dominated by Bayan ni Juan..

I went to New7wonders site for updates , it’s good to know that three of the top destinations in the Philippines has been in the top 5 list of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and I’m glad I cast my votes for these spots, I love my own as they say. But among the three, Chocolate Hills (who ranked number 4, as of October 20, 2008) made a soft spot in my heart.

I remember I received a text message from a friend months ago, when she informed me that Chocolate Hills has been nominated for the new seven wonders of the world. And she made a campaign to go to the site www.new7wonders.com to cast my vote. How could I ever refused such request, when she was responsible for my first visit of the famous chocolate hills. And not only that, this spot is also very memorable to me, because my boyfriend and I visited the spot a few years ago, and the first tourist spot we ever visited.

The first time visit was with my friends. I could still remember the excitement of going there, to finally see the most beautiful creation God ever created for the country Philippines, specifically in the town of Carmen , Bohol. I’ve been hearing so many good description about the said hills. I have also read the different legends about the chocolate hills. Some say it is called chocolate hills because during summer the hills turn to chocolate brown and many others…well…the real stories behind it’s creation, all I can say, Philippines has been very blessed to be given such wonderful nature. Nothing beats the first time experience as they say.

The second time, was with my boyfriend. He has been reading a lot about the chocolate hills, and was amazed by the pictures that I sent. He wants to visit the said place when he goes back to the Philippines. And I offered myself to be his tourist guide. You don’t have to be a native of Bohol to be able to guide your guest to the said famous hills. Just be proud of what the place has, and right there, they are just as amazed as any other first timers. And one thing, it is a perfect place to visit for lovers , It is such a sweet gesture holding hands with the one you love as you both watched these beautiful creation.

I am very proud to have visited the said place. I am even more proud to promote the said spot because you already know the experience of being there. I will always treasure my memories of the now famous Chocolate Hills. Hopefully the spot will get the chance to be in the new seven wonders of the world. LOG ON TO www.new7wonders.com . Let’s continue to vote for Chocolate Hills. And good to know as of October 20, 2008, still from the Philippines , The Subterranean River National Park of Puerto Princesa, Palawan ranked Number 1, and Tubbataha Reef, in Sulu Sea ranked Number 5. My friends and I our planning to visit these two spots soon. Our country is still blessed with these wonders of creation in spite of everything, I mean politically, economically, still very glad that we Filipinos has something to look forward to. We may be forever a third country for others, but when it comes to natural resources, we are indeed WONDERS!
