For traveling in the Philippines there are a lot of cheap possibilities. For the long distances on the bigger islands, the busses are the best possibility. Traveling per train is hardly possible, because there is only on one island a railway. Taking the train is only possible on the northern island of Luzon. This comfortable, air-conditioned train brings you from Manila to Naga in the southeastern part of Luzon. The journey takes 14 hours and costs about 7 American dollar.For the shorter distances on all islands (outside and inside towns and cities), people make use of the jeepneys, multicabs and tricycles. In big cities like Manila or Cebu City, the most common mean of transportation is the jeepney. Everywhere in the Philippines, for the more short and local distances, the multicabs and tricycles are used by many Filipinos. The tricycle, a motorcycle with an attached passenger-cabin on a third wheel, is the cheapest. The big advantage of the tricycle is that it will bring you to every desired place. The multicabs, just as the jeepneys, have fixed routes.

The Philippines is a rich tropical archipelago of 7,107 islands stretching gracefully over the western Pacific Ocean, situated about 700 miles (1,130 km) east of the Indochinese peninsula. It is roughly the size of Italy and is the world’s second-largest archipelago after Indonesia.
Based on its strategic location, the country is blessed with abundant natural resources which has attracted traders, explorers and adventurers for centuries.
The country was named after King Philip II of Spain in 1543, twenty-two years before Spain established a permanent colonial presence here. What the Philippines is today is a legacy of these early visitors. Language, art culture, ethnology, religion and architecture were influenced by settlers from powerful empires.
