Tree Huggers

This is a mandmade forest created in the 1960's by then President Diosdado Macapagal (I think the current president's father?)

The Chocolate Hills


Although we are still not exactly sure how the Chocolate Hills came to be, they are called such because during the dry season the lush green that you can see in these pictures turns brown, hence the name chocolate hills. Some myths say that they are the tears of the giant, or less glamorous, giant poop. Whatever the case may be, they are a natural wonder and candidates to become one of the new 7 wonders of the world. What do you think?? Worthy?
