hi guys
we've known the philippines to be one of the finest places ever if you would think of islands and beaches and other natural landscapes... luzon, vizayas and mindanao have something to offer
we know of palawan, boracay, ilocos, batanes, camiguin, baguio, tagaytay, galera etc and they are worth visiting more than once
but do you know some places that very few would know
like a hidden white beach? a diving area? can you share them here???
the reason why i'd like to know is because of my own discoveries... well, i know i'm not the first to see those places but they aren't well known here in the city
i've been to quezon province and i'm really surprised to see white beaches there... i heard of seafoods and pahiyas and this is really a pleasant surprise and experience... i will add cagbalete although i haven't been there, it is already on my list of places to visit
i heard there are good beaches in masbate too, but i don't know much about it.
what can you share guys?
it is really worth exploring some places i haven't heard of.

i came from albay in bicol.. aside from the majestic mt. mayon with its near perfect cone shape, albay also offers nature lovers with places to trek and hike such as the seven falls, vera falls, mt. malinao, mt. masaraga and mt. mayon itself. we are also endowed with great beaches, although they doesnt boast the same white sands of boracay. bicol food and delicacies are also well appreciated especially if you love spicy and chili food because we are very well known for that. if you visit us, you'd find yourself welcomed by friendly and smiling people. the best time to visit albay are during the months of May for the MAgayon(beautiful) festival as we relive the legend of Mt. Mayon and on October for our Ibalong Festival for the Epic of of Bicolano people.

hi, i've been to bicol. sorsogon to be exact. i love the hotspring there and the simple way of life.
although where i've been to isn't as spacious as i expected i still appreciated the place.
i do believe bicol offers more than mount mayon and other volcanoes you got there, being there personally i want to go back and visit other places...
too bad i didn't came around fiesta seasons

Last month m friend invited me to a place in Iba, Zambales - to Paynauen Beach Resort. It is a small family beach house with 7 air-conditioned rooms. The waters of the beach was so clear that you can see your toenails. The place was quite since most of its neighbors are private beach vacation houses of the rich. The coconut trees that dot the place provide the cool air that makes napping so inviting.The sunset view was amazing and romantic. I'll go to paynauen beach next year and will bring my family with me. I'm sure, it will be a memorable experience.

Hi there! I am from Tangalan, Aklan, Philippines. We have nice beach resorts here especially in Jawili. We used to live in Quezon City but we moved here to the province to manage my aunt's beach resort. If you'd like to see, here's the resort's webpage: http://freewebs.com/wassenaarbeachresort You can find the details that you will need there in case that you'd like to come for a visit.
