  1. Vietnam Attracts 416,000 Visitors From The Philippines During First 7 Months Of 2026

    Among the fourteen million foreign tourists Vietnam attracted during the first seven months of 2026 are visitors from the Philippines totaling 416,000, according to report by VnExpress. The authorities have described the Philippines as having the biggest increase among Southeast Asian markets.

    The 416,000 of Philippine visitors is significant as there were over 480,000 Filipinos who visited Vietnam in the entire year of 2025. It is recalled that Filipino interest in visiting Vietnam has been strong and the governments of the two nations agreed to cooperate on tourism and air connectivity. As a tourist destination, the Philippines has been very weak attracting only 5.94 foreign tourists in 2025. Vietnam attracted over 21 million foreign tourists that same year.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

    The number of visitors from the Philippines to Vietnam jumped 63.6% year-on-year between January and July to 416,000, the biggest increase among Southeast Asian markets.

    In the region, there were huge increases also in the number of arrivals from Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. They increased by 40.8%, 31%, 27.3%, and 21.6%, according to the General Statistics Office.

    The tourism industry attributed the jump in the number of visitors from Southeast Asia to a rapidly expanding flight network and growing demand for intra-regional travel.

    Indonesia AirAsia launched a direct flight connecting Bali (Denpasar) and Da Nang on March 20 while Vietjet launched a direct route connecting Da Nang and Jakarta on April 29.

    In March, Philippines AirAsia launched a new direct route linking Da Nang with Manila in the Philippines.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Considering the strong Filipino interest on visiting Vietnam, would you be surprised to see Vietnam attract 1,000,000 visitors from the Philippines by the end of this year? What do you think makes Vietnam a special travel destination for Filipinos?

    El platillo callejero que desafía a los estómagos más fuertes

    La forma en que las distintas culturas se alimentan puede resultar muy extraña para el resto del mundo. En varios países de Asia se vende una comida callejera muy popular llamada balut, que consiste en un huevo de pato cocido, pero con una gran diferencia. El huevo no se consume fresco, sino que se deja desarrollar hasta que el feto del animal está casi formado por completo en su interior. Al momento de prepararlo, el huevo se hierve con todo y la cría adentro, la cual ya tiene plumas suaves, pico y huesos pequeños bien visibles.

    Para comerlo, las personas rompen un pedazo del cascarón, toman el caldo que se forma adentro y luego se comen al animal entero con un poco de sal y jugo de limón. Mientras que en muchos lugares esta idea resulta impensable o bizarra, en las calles de ciudades como Manila se considera un alimento común, barato y nutritivo que se vende por las noches. Este platillo demuestra que las reglas sobre lo que es rico o incomible cambian por completo según el lugar del planeta donde te encuentres.
