25 Most Amazing Instagram Photos of the Philippines

By now, everyone knows that the Philippines is a great place to go to. Boracay was declared one of the best beaches around the world and one of the best places to celebrate New Year’s Eve, Dumaguete is one of the best places to retire, and Palawan is the world’s best island. Because of these recognitions, all kinds of tourists have flocked to our many islands to see why we’ve been declared one of the best in the world.

Sadly, the influx of tourists, the commercialization of beaches, and the newly-minted #Laboracay (it started only in 2011, according to Google) have made these destinations crowded and dirty. A Boracay local even posted an open letter that went viral, saying that tourists and companies that hold their events there should be responsible after themselves even after the parties.

Warren Camitan, a Filipino photographer, is known on Instagram as a chronicler of the Philippines’ beauty. His Instagram page, @thwjc, has over 36,000 followers, and he posts the most amazing shots of the beaches here. His photos serve as a reminder on why it’s more fun in the Philippines, and why we should do our part in cleaning up.
