Summer time has just started, and Filipinos are all set for a fun-filled beach frolic. The rising temperatures and the scorching heat of the sun cranks the Philippine’s summer mood to high gear.

Everglades National Park - there is truly no other place like it on earth. This is the largest subtropical reserve in the United States.

Everglades National Park is an important wetland that has been named a World Heritage Site.
