umm...sorry, but philippine fashion is WAY AHEAD of american fashion bud. Haven't you noticed? they DO wear the trendiest clothes cuz they always look towards London for fashion. America is WAY DEAD LAST when it comes to being in tune with world fashion.
My friend was wearing americaneagle pants in SHOEMART mega mall in the philippines and some girl went up to here and said pointing to her jeans, "that is SO outdated."

It's THE adjective. "Filipino" is a proper noun, "philippine" is its adjective. It's common misconception to use "filipino" as adjective and instead of "philippine".
"I love philippine food!" and NOT "I love filipino food!"

Visayan islands in the philippines is a great place. Cebu is probably one of the nices places in the world, while Luzon, is a polluted dump. If you plan to go to Manila and Quezon City, don't bring anything fancy while walking in the streets or you'll get mugged. Not to mention the flying cockroaches...
Go to the Visayas if you want a resort.
