I love to travel if I have free time. But since I am working with events, I really get to travel a lot and most of my travels I have had were all-expenses paid by my promoter, producer or organizer. So, I had the best treats too. Been to different parts of the country and it amazed me to see that a lot of beautiful places are on the countryside. Been to different countries too but i am just so proud of places that i have been to, from up north to down south. I couldn't imagine that there are really a lot of admirable places in our country that people should know, see or visit. I personally like the town of Pagsanjan, been working with them for almost 3 years now with their BANGKERO FESTIVAL every April. It's really distinct among the towns of LAGUNA. You will really know that you are in PAGSANJAN once you enter their town. It's clean and organized. I also like some parts of CEBU. Up north, I love VIGAN, just hope that they should really preserved those "OLD HOUSES" and designate areas to develop into commercial one. Some parts of Sorsogon is also nice. Mayon volcano areas in Albay. Subic is already SUBIC, no doubt. Clark is ok too. Baguio is best during non-tourist-peak season. Some nice beaches of Batangas. Some nice places in Leyte and Samar. If you've been to the Philippines, for you, which PART of the PHILIPPINES is one of the BEST TOURIST DESTINATIONS that people from all over the world should see?

You should be very happy and proud of yourself that you are given the opportunity to explore our country. Yes, I agree there are so many beautiful sites here, they are just not promoted or developed. I hope that by word of mouth here in MyLot, we can encourage our friends from other countries to come visit us and discover the many scenic attractions we have to offer. Have you tried checking out the festivals in different places? That is so cool, too.

Yes, FESTIVALS are really my priority when i explore different parts of the country. I have many friends working with DOT that always inform nor invite me to visit even the smallest towns, cause they also have FESTIVALS of their own. It's really fun. Most of the time, i get to visit or experience these festivals cause people invite me to JUDGE in a pageant, to TRY something or be a part of the celebration. Fun! really, really fun! Will be visiting more soon.

sarap naman ng buhay mo! (what a great life you have!)... i'm not an adventurous person but i would love to explore nature and philippines had been blessed with so many natural resources. unfortunately, i never had the means to travel so probably some other time. we spend our time in Bataan for vacation. i find it relaxing. we've been to Baguio, Cagayan Valley, Subic, La Union, Pangasinan (mostly in Northern part of Luzon). i would love to explore more. hopefully, i would!

I do really enjoy the travel, aside from the fact that i'm earning whenever there is an event to handle. But the biggest reward you get is when you meet people who will become significant people in your life. Where in Bataan do you particularly go for your vacation?

I am from the Philippines too. I have been to several places here in the Philippines and I must say that there really are many nice places here in our country. I might not have enough time to discuss all the best things I have seen and best places I have been to. But to date, the best places I have been to are Batanes, Bohol, Camiguin and Palawan. I also have been to Glan in Sarangani and it is really a nice place for people who love nature.

Bored? wow! I was feeling that way too when i was young and haven't seen other parts of this beautiful country. But once you travel and get to see those places, you'll be more PROUD of this COUNTRY. Try it soon, you'll know what i'm talking about.

Oh God. There's just too many to mention! Siargao would be in. Great surf. I've never been there but my friends have and it really doesn't look like it's somewhere in Asia. From the pictures I could say the island is pristine. I love Sorsogon too. Bohol would be in my list also.

yes, i forgot to mention. bohol! i was there last year in PANGLAO and was able to go around. i admired LOBOC. love their floating restaurant. I admire the initiative of the local officials, the restrooms are really clean and the port area is well-designed. I will try to visit SIARGAO soon. have heard of the place but haven't been there yet.
