hi I am from the Queen city of Sount, I am from Cebu and there are lot of Great beaches here, a lot of tourist destination that you can chose. One of the best place that I enjoyed so much, the view and my stay. was when I go to Bantayan Island , it is in the north part of Cebu you will ride a bus and going to the Island you wil ride a ferry. The Beach is a WOW.. I felt like lying in the sand always even if its so hot. the sand was great and the beaches are clean. I've been to bohol also and Panglao Beaches is so nice also. We are planning this april to go to bagiou. Hopefully I can enjoy the place. I'd like to here your experiences.. Happy mylotting. Cheers =d09:)

hi ckyera, ahhh your also from cebu good to hear that, hmmm. Boracay is a good place also but was so commercialized, when I visit boracay I did not enjoy really because there are lot of people.. I prefer to Bantayan Island again thank boracay. Going to Bantayan Island is worth your time ,I'm sure you will enjoy the beach. One thing you would love to go to Bantayan is its not expensive as going to boracay or to bohol. My mother is from bohol, I usually spend part of my summer in Bohol , But I have not been to Danao Bohol. as they said in Danao bohol you will enjoy the ZIpline and the cable car.. Hopefully this summer I will be able to visit the place. Happy mylotting..

hmmm, really? so can you give me idea on how much will i need to prepare if i have plan of going to Bantayan Island? how much will it cost me if i start from Cebu City? nah, it really disappoint me that i was not able to visit Danao Bohol as well, coz our time there was just limited. we just spend a day in Bohol & go back here in Cebu at night... so i don't even see the Panglao beach! haiz! but atleast i was able to sea the ocean which looks so nice in my eyes!

hi there, sure2x.. honestly I only have 1000 pesos when I went to bantayan with my friends, with my 1000 pesos I was able to buy my mother Bantayan Dried Fish. But on my stay there its for free because one of my friends is from there. You can search Santa Fe Beach Resort or Ogtong Cave,you can also search on white sand. You can find already a place to stay like less than 500 pesos a day. Food is not that expensive. I hope to visit Bantayan again this summer, if not this summer but within this year..

Coral Reef - one of the best place in mactan islands, cebu
i am from the province of bulacan. but i have been here in the city of lapu-lapu in cebu province for more than 10 years. i love being here and i guess, i will remain a residence of this city for the rest of my life. this is one of the best place that i have been since i was born. and i have posted one of the best scenery that i have captured with my camera, the coral reef resort that can be found in marigondon, overseeing the island of olango.

Try Coron, Palawan. I loved the place! the beaches are really beautiful, and it's far from commercialization so it's really clean, and you can see nature at it's finest. I went there last year, and I want to go back this year, cause I still have a lot to see, as they have many islands there that has great beaches.. I can't wait to be back there!

hi dorothy, nice to know you're a boholana by blood. you might notice that bohol is attached to my username in mylot cuz i'm from bohol. i've been in moalboal and its really a nice place. yeah there are a lot of tourist spots in cebu and its highly urbanized city/province(?). but here in bohol we have a lot to offer 'cause its ecotourism we offer here in bohol. we have a lots of places to offer around the island of bohol. yes danao is one of the lovely place and highlights here in bohol. i just learned that they are now making the 1.5 km zip line the longest zip line in asia and second in the world. we have the tarsier in corella and loboc towns and the floating restaurants in loboc town and in loay town which caters during weekend night time so that we could see the fireflies during the night around seven in the evening. its so amazing to see them glow in the dark where they really glow in unison. and their movements like swaying lights. when you come back to bohol see to it you can experience that. i think they operate only during weekends. we have also huge pythons here like the anaconda found in albur and maribojoc towns. we have the hinagdanan caves in dauis town and many more. so there are still a lot to savor in this island of bohol. we have also scuba diving and whale & dolphin watching and of course the chocolate hills, the sagbayan peak and the panglao beaches they are our forefront showcase here in bohol. so when in bohol you have to stay for at least three days to see these places.

Camiguin Island is also very interesting. With her "its there & its gone now" white Island, Cold Spring, Hot Spring, tallest Waterfalls i've ever been to, etc.. It is one island i'd like to visit again. Bohol is also very soothing. The way to Panglao Island from Bohol proper is such a wonderful scene. Bantayan is always my favorite. My husband & i are planning to go there again in the next vacation. Malapascua is small but total lovely. When its high tide, you are like you are in a Poster. :-) White beaches with clean water and those energetic waves...its aWoW! Boracay is also beautiful but also so populated. more islands i can not name all are all beautiful!

hi tigerlily, I have never been to camiguin but I also hear so much about the place, my parents went to a vacation there but I was not able to join them that time because I am still studying and its periodicals. Hopefully soon...but my priority now is Palawan. I love to see the beaches, been researching about the place already hehehehe lol... There are great places, unique, historical ,pleasant and beautiful places in the philippines, When I plan a trip abroad I always tell myself, I still have to enjoy my own place first, My goal is to travel around the philippines. Been to hongkong and singapore but that was a business trip, I am not so much satified really, Yes both are great , highly urbanize place but I just love natural spot. IN singpore and Hongkong it seems all is within the reach of teachnology already. Foreigners spend so much to tour the great places in the philippines,because they see the loveliness of our country. just don't mind our political aspect duhhh..but really we have a great country..

I am from the Philippines, i know so many nice & best places to go. Like in Palawan, i've been there and i can be proud of like El Nido,Underground River,Crocodile farm, etc. Also in Bicol Region, like the famous Waterfront Beach good for surfing and the like. Many to mention, like Boracay,Corrigidor in Bataan, Chocolate Hills in Bohol, Rice Terraces in Baguio City and many to mention. Just search the country of Philippines and u will find the best places to go on holidays, weekends & summer time. marilyn23

Probably Boracay, as I was just there this weekend and it's still pretty fresh in my mind. We went parasailing and reef-walking, and island-hopping (though I didn't really enjoy it as much as I've done it before and I get queasy every time LOL). But the best part for me is walking around the beach-front strip at night, when all the restaurants and shops are abuzz. I loved it, though my feet were killing me LOL. Traveling there wasn't so nice though as I am from Bacolod so we had to take a ferry and then an excruciating 7-hour bus ride to caticlan. I wish we could just hop on a plain to get there like those from Manila! Despite that, I still wanna go back! I want to ride a glass-bottom boat the next time!

hi mymelodake, ohh your from Bacolod, it is favorable for you to go to Boracay, Ive been there once, the place was great but I find it commercialize, to compare to Bohol Pangloa I appriciate more the Pangloa Beach, you can still see the beauty of nature and in addition to compare bohol ang pangloa , going to pangloa is much cheaper that going to boracay Have a great day to you and happy mylotting...

Hello, Dorothy. I always wanted to travel but my money is not enough to have relaxing vacation. I always end up worrying with my expenses and most of my stay i didn't enjoy. SO, i guess i have to be more prepared before escapade. I enjoy beaches or anything with water and nature. I wanted to go to Palawan and enjoy the wonders of nature. So far, all travels/vacations and places I've been are not "best" to consider. I'm still looking forward to that. I hope my next vacation will be enjoyable and relaxing. No more bills to worry.

hi there simonelee, you I am too have so much bills to pay but I still find time to manage my financials, I still find time to look for a place to travel and I make sure its cheap and I can afford, I dont want to travel either with credits. Anyhow I have not visit Palawan also, I heard so much about the place, I hope to visit the place this year hopefully if time and budget permits.. I hope you dont mind where are you from the philippines? Thank you so much for the reply and happy mylotting...

I have been to Baguio and I consider it the best place I have been to here in the Philippines. Though the place is just surrounded by mountains, it is best for place because of the climate that they have there. The place is beautiful because it is so green. I love that place and I am planning to go back there one of these days.

Hello!I'm proud to be a CEBUANA.harhar. I've been to few places. The best thing so far is moalboal. I love the white sand and they have a very nice beach. I've never been to Bantayan but it's a very ideal place to take a vacation. Boholana, I'm also one. My father is from there and I'm just a few blocks away from San Roque Church. I've been to chocolate hills and am planning to go to panglao this summer. I love vacations!

Live in the city but I love going to the Summer Capital named Baguio because it's the coolest place 365 days a year. Ride horses with my nieces. Or going to Tagaytay where the climate is a bit warmer than Baguio but the ride is only 1 to 2 hrs from where we live unlike Baguio which is 6 hours
