Philippine Holidays for 2015

Most of our trips were planned ahead of time that’s why it’s important that we have the list of Philippine National Holidays handy. I appreciate the fact that President Noynoy Aquino just released the list of Philippine holidays for 2015.

In the meantime, please refer to the complete list of 2013 Philippine holidays:

Tuko for sale (Tokay Gecko for sale)

Am I the last person here in the Philippines who is not aware about the craze on tuko or Tokay Gecko? I searched for Tuko for sale or Tokay Gecko for sale and I discovered that buying and selling of this reptile is very rampant. The selling price depends on the weight and the size of the head of the gecko. The bigger the size of the bigger the head, the bigger its selling price.

I remember my childhood days in our province in Aklan. My aunt’s house has 2 tuko (2 Tokay Geckos) inside her house and we would feed them with beetles (salagubang).
