Pinas82

3 unique archipelagos, 17 awesome regions, 82 beautiful provinces.

Update as of May 2025: Already visited Davao Occidental last 2021 but due to pandemic restriction, I wasn't able to stroll around and take pictures (lockdown day). Thus, I visited again for formality visit on personal basis.

Update as of Sep. 2022: The Province of Maguindanao is divided into two distinct provinces, Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur which makes the total provinces to 82 (already completed the previous 81 provinces last Jun. 2022).

“Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.” ~ Dr. Jose Rizal
