Just a piece of advice for younger generation:

If you can, travel. Explore. Leave your hometown. Go somewhere far away. Live or find a job in another country for a while. Discover how other people live and how different it is from what you know. Different places will bring out different versions of you. Go and see what’s out there. The self-discovery that comes from leaving can change your entire life. I know it’s scary, I was scared too.. but I did it anyway and you can too. My whole perspective in life changed the moment I stepped out of my comfort zone. And you won’t regret it, I promise.

If it works for you, good. If it doesn’t, well, atleast you tried. 😊

Piliin mo ang Pilipinas🇵🇭

Ito 'yung mga literal na pumili ng Pilipinas!

FILIPINO TRAVELERS WHO HAVE VISITED ALL PROVINCES OF THE PHILIPPINES

Ivan Henares is the first person to have visited all 80 Philippine Provinces in 2010, certified as most travelled person during his time. Henares also known as Culture and heritage conservation advocate, tells how important to conserve Philippine heritage sites. In the following year, the second person who complete the 80 province is Estan Cabigas.

2012, Two year in the making, James Betia embarks on the journey of a lifetime that involves 100 days of nonstop travel on only 500 pesos per day, earning him a title as 'The fastest to travel in the Philippines' This is his way of encouraging fellow Filipinos to discover the beauty of our own country even with minimal resources.

Note: Ivan Henares was the first to complete all the provinces, he has visited 80 because at that time there were only 80 provinces. James Betia completed all provinces in April 2012.

In 2013, the total provinces of the Philippines reached 81, with the addition of Davao Occidental, Che Gurrobat became the first Filipina to complete 80 provinces in 2014, due to a minor conflict in 1 province of Mindanao she could not complete the 81, but she was considered as 'The most traveled woman in the country'.

Harly Marcuap was featured in GMA News as one of "Most Travelled Man" in the country. Marcuap, finished 3 year of traveling to 81 Philippine Provinces on January 2014, also earning him a title and record holder as the "Youngest person to travel all over the Philippines" at age of 21.

Special mention, Xu Ling Feng who is a Chinese national but has travelled to all the 81 provinces in the Philippines in 2015.

Here is the other list of travelers who have also visited and able to complete the 81 provinces before 2017: Edgar Yap (2015), BJ Carreon (2015), Cuteeh Cath (2015) and Melvin Brutas (2016), Ramil delos Reyes (2016) Gael Hilotin (2016), Mervs Adventurista (2016), Jason Jacob Ponce (2016) Albert Realto (2016) and Darwin Marcial (2016).

In 2019, The Department of Tourism recognized Rommel Enguerra, the only Filipino who has been to 81 provinces, 116 cities and 17 regions of the Philippines within 69 days using Motorcycle.

In May 2021, former President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed into law, the Republic Act No. (RA) 11550, dividing the province of Maguindanao into two distinct and independent provinces known as Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur. The provinces of the Philippines became 82 since then.

And the greatest 'Piliin mo ang Pilipinas challenge' traveler in history is Mr. Arvid Marius Puzon, covered 100% of the country’s 148 cities and 1,486 municipalities. Began in San Ildefonso, Bulacan on March 27, 2013 and completed in Kalayaan, Palawan on March 19, 2023. He is the first person to visit all the towns and cities in Philippines history.

There are probably more people who did numbers of travels like them, but they chose to be silent or wasn't able to document it because there is no Internet yet. The thing here, is not how far and wide you traveled but how your life and the lives of your fellow countrymen changed during and after your journeys.
