Besides Manila, if you are a Filipino, what are the other places that you've been to here in the island of the Philippines? Me, I've been to a couple of places and actually lived in one of those cities for quite a long time. I have been to Baguio, which I stayed for three years because my wife is from there. Also, I've travelled to Boracay which is in Caticlan, Dakak which located in Zamboanga and other near rural areas like Tagaytay, Batangas, Pangasinan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Ilocos. And I'm yet planning to go to Cebu, Bohol, Palawan, Sagada, Mountain Province and Davao. I heard that these places are nice and is somewhat popular amongst the tourist.

I have been to Tagaytay, Quezon Province, Zambales, Pangasinan, Pampanga, Batangas, Zamboanga City, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Iligan City, Butuan, Bacolod, Tagbilaran City. But I have been here in Cebu for almost 15 years now. I found my second home, second family here. I also found my permanent job here...

I stay in the northern part of the Philippines and I don't travel a lot. I have been to Tuguegarao. We visited the Callao cave there and it is really amazing. The cave is really big and we didn't had the time to explore until the inner parts of it. We just spend the remaining time for swimming at the nearby river. I have been to Cagayan de Oro. We had a leadership camp there before near a beach. I went to Davao last summer for my friend's wedding. It was my first experience being in a beach wedding. We went to a specific island Samal. I have been to Batangas. I went there with my friends to swim on the beach. I want to visit Baguio and Aparri soon.

hmm, so far I've been in Tagaytay, it was really beautiful place especially it's landmark: Mt. Taal, in La Union - I've been in here during the short period of time we visit some family friend who are getting married, fascinating place too. I've been in Batangas, Cavite, Bicol and Calauag, Quezon too. I stayed a little longer in Bicol and Calauag since my aunts and grandmother are living there. So now, I wanted and really wished to go to Cebu, Palawan, Boracay, Puerto Galera and Baguio. I really like to go to these places first before I go to foreign countries someday.

Oh I have only been to few places here in our country, the farthest I have been was in Ilocos Norte, in Pagudpud, that was before it was known. My father did a terrible thing to us and my mother treats us to an out of town Christmas, oh well I have thank my idiot father for that, we had a blast then. I hve been to La union too and Baguio, just North, I am from Nueva Ecija but I studied in Los BAnos, so count that in, been to TAgaytay and Batanggas too. I have never tried to go as far as riding a plane though. kinda expensive for a traveler with three kids

Hey there! I've been to Metro Manila, Bulacan, Antipolo, Tagaytay, Cebu, and Bohol. So you have a lot of destinations to go huh? Don't miss to go to Bohol. You'll find it more enjoyable than any other place. I was born and grew up in Cainta, Rizal but, we lived in Bohol when I was high school. You can do almost everything. You can go diving, whale watching, dolphin watching, go to the white sand beaches, view the chocolate hills, visit the tarsier, go on a river cruise, etc.,etc.. You will love it there. No wonder why Bohol is the tourism capital of the Philippines.

Wow, you've been to many places. I wish I would be able also to visit those places that you have visited. Me, the only places I visited here in the Philippines are Cebu , Masbate, Tagaytay and Corrigedor. Cebu is a very beautiful place. When I step out of the airport and ride a taxi. I saw a lot of Santo NiƱo, every side of the streets. When we go to the beach the sea is clean and the air is fresh. An there's a lot of dried mango. I also want to go to Baguio.

I really love to travel and every chance I get I grabbed every opportunity that comes my way. I've been to a number of places in the Philippines. Aside from Negros Occidental, I've been to Iloilo since I studied there for 4 years. I also visited Antique, Aklan during the Ati-atihan, Bohol when we were doing our Science Research, stopped by for a week in Cebu and Guimaras since our school have a campus there. I also stayed in Laguna for five years for my degree. I also had a trip to Baguio, Tagaytay, Ilocos Norte, Vigan, and Cagayan Valley. I also had a 12-day long vacation in Dumaguete last year. So far, those are the places I've travelled. I wish to travel every Island in our country. There are a lot of beautiful places around here.;D

Hi mchavez11! This is a really nice topic to talk about. Aside from Laguna, where I am residing since birth, I have been to Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Baguio, Abra, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Bataan, Batangas, Cavite (Tagaytay), Bulacan and Manila of course. I have been to the Ilocos region twice and the latest was in 2006 when I joined my friends in the office to have our holy week there. It was really a very unforgettable place for me, especially Vigan and Pagudpud where the you can find the Boracay of the north. I am planning to return to Ilocos in three years time, when my sister will come home from abroad because we will visit her in-laws there. Then in the southern part of the Philippines, I have been to Cebu and Bohol just last year during the Holy Week also with my office mates. Our trip covered five days of enjoyment especially in Bohol where we spent most of our time. We were not able to enjoy much in Cebu so I guess I have to plan of going there again in the near future. I wish to go to Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Palawan, Boracay and Sagada. Cheers!
