I have been to a lot of places here in the Philippines. It may be a little expensive but really worth it! Batanes is really cool! It is the smallest province here in the Philippines. Almost one-half of Batanes are hills and mountains and of course the island is surrounded by Bashi Channel and Balintang Channel, where the Pacific Ocean, merges with the China Sea. I have been to Boracay several times and I am saddened by the fact that it is no longer as beautiful as it was 10 years ago. It has become very commercialized. I must say that Camiguin looks more beautiful now than Boracay. If you like diving, the top three choices would be Coron in Palawan, Apo Island in Dumaguete and Malapascua Island in the northern tip of Cebu. San Juan in La Union, Siargao and Baler are great places for surfing (I miss surfing...) Bohol, Palawan, and Mindoro are great places for beach freaks like me. Ooopps, Pagudpud and Mairaira in Ilocos Norte are also beach havens! I also have been to the Hundred Islands in Pangasinan and the Rice Terraces in Ifugao. Sagada in Mountain Province is also a cool (literally and otherwise) place where you could hibernate, relax, introspect, or even contemplate nirvana. LOL! Well, there are more than 7,107 reasons why we have to travel the Philippines!

wow, your post made me miss the Philippines... I've been in Vietnam for 3 months and I can't wait to get back and visit more places in the Philippines. I've been to a lot of nice spots but I also want to visit Siargao, Malapasuca and Sagada. I think Palawan is my favorite but I have a soft spot for Mindoro and Ilocos Norte. :D

I have been to the Philippines many times and I have many friends there. The furthest place I have been is Cagayan De Oro in Mindanao. I have also visited the pinatubo just after it exploded. It is a nice country but too many poor people. I enjoyed my stays in the country.

sadly, but you right, there are so many poor people here and i hope there are some good people who will build a foundation to help poor Filipino people. but of course, Philippines is a beautiful country and we are hospitable enough to treat every foreigner that comes here.. enjoy and happy posting!!

yeah,you should take a vacation here. i suggest if you like beaches go to Boracay co'z we have the finest hotels and restaurants there. the color of the sea is as blue as the sky and the sand as fine as powder. it's really cool because they sell native products in cheaper prices too.
