Let's be reasonable. Most of the filipinos do not know how to show around at all. They have to look at google to go around Manila as well and does not know what a foreigner would be interested in having a look. I am not demeaning them at all but their life style is entirely different and probably would be the same for most of us at home. Their tourism industry is fairly disorganised compared to countries like Thailand etc. Even Cambodia and Vietnam.
