Choose Visayas


As summer is upon us, I’m putting up this timely piece my daughter used as part of a song in one of her class. It’s a creative way to introduce one of the three major islands in the Philippines to avid vacationers out there.

Come on hurry or take your time
Feast your senses on fascinating sights
Several tropical island lies
Mystical views for your eyes

Bask in the sun in Boracay
Catch the gentlest smiles in Panay
Savor in the sweetest mangoes
To Guimaras everybody goes

Come and see what’s in Visayas
Tour the islands and see what lies
Explore the lore, enjoy it more
Take time to feel the highs
See the beauty of the Visayas


In Dumaguete swim and dive
Where dolphins playfully thrive
Wear on the prettiest mask
In Bacolod it’s a must

Marvel on the Chocolate Hills
Bohol’s green river sends you thrills
Fly to Cebu and go wander
History takes you yonder

Traverse the longest bridge
Go beyond Leyte and Samar’s edge
Bet you are destined to see
Beauty of the orient seas

See the beauty of the Visayas
Choose the beauty of the Visayas.

Which beauty would you want to see in these 7,107 islands?
