I just wanted to give some (unsolicited) suggestion to would-be tourists planning a trip to the Philippines. <BR/><BR/>To be honest, I drank tap water too (a lot actually) when I traveled around the Philippines in the '90s. Like you, I didn't get sick as well. But some of my traveling companions insisted on buying mineral water since their stomachs were not as 'strong' as mine.<BR/><BR/>Hope this sheds light on my previous comment.

The "lechon manok" sauce is marvelous!<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about that part about water in RP being drinkable from the tap. I would suggest that tourists buy bottled water instead.
