Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine
by Elisacosta · 2025-01-10 · 1 reply
Hi, do you know what the deal is with the Japanese encephalitis vaccine? I traveled in Asia 20 years ago, and no one ever mentioned it to me. Now it’s strongly recommended. Thanks for your feedback. Elisabeth
Long-stay French visa for a Philippine national
by Solinavi · 2024-12-19 · 1 reply
Hi everyone.

We’re a couple—I’m French and my girlfriend is Filipino. We’re not married yet. I’d like to bring her to France for a long-term stay so we can live there, she can work legally, and she can leave her current tough living conditions.

How do we go about this? What documents do the French and Philippine authorities require? Do we need to be married first?

Thanks.
Palawan between late January and early February 2025
by Tipuss · 2024-12-12 · 0 replies
Hi there, I’ll be on Palawan Island during the last week of January and early February 2025—any other solo travelers (or accompanied ones) around at the same time? I’ve browsed the forum a bit, and there seem to be fewer activities than before, but we’ll see. Just FYI, Air France launched a direct route from CDG to Manila on December 7, 2024.

Have a great day! !
Philippines - Indonesia - Sumatra - Moluccas Islands Trip December 2024
by Kimberley131 · 2024-11-29 · 8 replies
Hi there! Looking to head off by the end of this year, no later than between December 10th and 15th, for the Philippines. Any recommendations for regions like the Batanes Islands and Mindanao, away from mass tourism and off the beaten path?

Plan: Beaches, snorkeling, diving, hiking, and visiting the most interesting sites depending on each person’s preferences (I’m not really into old stones but more about nature, jungle, flora, and fauna).

When? Between December 10th and 15th, but no later than December 15th–17th.

Where? Northern Philippines, starting with a few days of beach and relaxation to recharge after the bad weather and winter in France. Then, off to trek in northern Luzon with its stunning rice terraces, followed by the Batanes Islands, which are the epitome of off-the-beaten-path destinations. After that, we’d head down to the Balicas Islands, where you can swim with turtles and where tourism is minimal due to very limited hotel infrastructure (accommodation is in tents by the sea). Next up: the island of Mindanao.

Depending on time and everyone’s interests, we could continue to Sumatra and then the Moluccas Islands, which, unlike the rest of Indonesia, are much less affected by the monsoon.

With whom?

Someone who’s already traveled and hiked beyond just their imagination and dreams . Independent and resourceful (I’m looking for a travel partner, not a tourist to guide). Good-humored and adaptable. Loving adventure and eager to explore off the beaten path.

I’ve traveled a lot and I’m a fan of the unexpected (go where the wind takes you).

If you see yourself in these few lines, it would be a great pleasure to share this new adventure with you for a few days or weeks.... This is just a rough plan I’m proposing, and it can be adjusted based on everyone’s preferences.
Crossing Panay and Negros to reach Cebu with kids
by Maggy10 · 2024-11-19 · 2 replies
Hi everyone! We’re spending a month in the Philippines from mid-December to mid-January. We’ll be taking a flight from Cebu to Boracay for some kitesurfing. After that, we were thinking of heading back to Cebu Island via public transport or taxi, crossing Panay and Negros, and then going to Moalboal, Bantayan, and Malapascua. Do you think it’s worth crossing Panay and Negros? We’ve heard there were floods on Negros, and Google Maps shows that the volcano on Negros is erupting, so I don’t think hiking it is an option. We have two kids with us, ages 10 and 7. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Magali
Arriving at Caticlan Airport at 5:30 PM and taking the boat to Boracay the same evening
by CelineDantan · 2024-10-30 · 1 reply
Hi there,

We’re flying into Caticlan Airport on March 22, 2025, at 5:30 PM. Is that too tight to hope to catch the boat to Boracay the same evening? I’ve read that the regular ferries only run until 7 PM. Also, we want to book a round-trip airport transfer package from Caticlan Airport to the boat for Boracay and drop-off at our hotel with Klook. Has anyone tried this before? What’s the difference between all their different options on their site? Thanks so much! Celine
Looking for a female travel companion for the Philippines - leaving early December
by Althema · 2024-10-28 · 0 replies
Hi there, I’ve booked my one-way ticket from Paris to Manila on December 6th, flight at 4 PM. I’ve already visited 6 out of 7,000 islands 😅 traveling on a small budget but not roughing it 😄 I’ll be traveling for 3 months, and nothing’s set in stone, so if anyone wants to join for part of the trip or suggest their itinerary, I’d love that. Could also be India or somewhere else. I’m an early riser, energetic, and resourceful. I’ve traveled quite a bit—Colombia, Mexico, Malaysia, India, etc.—mostly on budget flights. I love visiting iconic sites, nature, diving in warm, vibrant seas, and so on… over to you! I’m definitely not looking for hardship, just a travel buddy 😊

"Overseas": héroïnes de la nation et esclaves modernes
by Barefoot · 2020-06-04 · 9 replies
Les Philippines sont l'un des plus gros pourvoyeurs de main-d'oeuvre au monde. Programmé il y a quelques jours sur France 2 à une heure très tardive, un film documentaire sur ces O.F.W (Overseas Filipino Workers) envoyées à l'étranger en tant qu'aides ménagères ou nounous. Vous avez sans doute croisé quelques unes à travers le monde sans y prêter attention...

Disponible en Replay jusqu'au 2 Aout:
https://www.france.tv/france-2/25-nuances-de-doc/1508287-overseas.html Aux Philippines, on déploie les femmes en masse à l’étranger comme aides ménagères ou nounous. Elles laissent souvent derrière elles leurs propres enfants, avant de se jeter dans l’inconnu. Dans un centre de formation au travail domestique, comme tant d’autres aux Philippines, un groupe de candidates au départ se préparent au mal du pays et aux maltraitances qui pourraient les atteindre. Lors d’exercices de jeux de rôles, les femmes se mettent tant dans la peau de l’employée que des employeurs. Aux abords de la fiction, OVERSEAS traite de la servitude moderne de notre monde globalisé, tout en révélant la détermination de ces femmes, leur sororité et les stratégies mises en place face aux épreuves que leur réserve l’avenir.
