Catholic fanatism is one of the worst. They can scare the fuck out of you. Have seen it first hand.The Philippines is a weird place (I've been, spent a month there). Manila is a shithole and still in many ways the paedo centre of the world. Outrageous poverty (whole families sleeping on the streets literally in their own and other's shit) while luxury yachts sit in the harbour. But it has a lot of beauty too. Google Banaue (and look at the pictures). There's also a million islands to choose from. Bohol has some ridiculous empty white sand beaches.
But above all else, it's Catholic in a way you've never seen. Place makes Pakistan look like an atheist country.
But then maybe you'd believe strongly in God if your country was constantly battered by tropical storms, hurricanes and earthquakes.
I was in a 6.2 earthquake there on the morning we left. Sleeping in a brothel (cheapest hotel we could find and yes, literally a brothel, mirrors on the ceiling and walls, no windows). Earthquake was as scary as fuck. 3am. My gf slept through it ffs.
When I was a child my granny just loved to take me with her to church. That imagens of a dying Jesus, of a dying saint, of a dying somebody.... they hunt me to this day.
