Coron! It's the northernmost town of Palawan.
You can do a lot while you are there - island hopping, snorkeling/diving/swimming, and rock climbing while enjoying the relaxing pace of life with the friendly residents.
Fronting the towns' main settlement is Coron Island, managed by the native Tagbanuas, that boast of 7 mesmerizing lakes. Taking a deep on these lake will make you understand why it is somewhat sacred to the natives. Coron Island's rocks formations are good challenges for climbing.
The other islands of Coron have beautiful white-sand beaches. Unlike the well-known tourist destination in the country, Coron beaches are devoid of buildings. It's pure nature.
Coron can also take pride of its e underwater scenery. One can venture to explore the 6 sunken Japanese battle ships, dive or snorkel on the exploration spots of the town's marine sanctuaries.
And... after a days tiresome explorations, one can go and relax in a hot spring resort or have a small talk with fellow travelers in small bars all within the town proper.
From Coron, one can visit the Calauit Wildlife and Game Reserve Sanctuary in the neighboring town of Busuanga. Calauit is a haven-island of giraffes, zebras, and other African and endemic Philippine animals.
I hope I can visit Coron again.

My mom is a native from the north so we mostly visit Baguio City and La Union for the beach. I like cold, mountain place and natural scenery that's why i prefer the summer capital of the Philippines.

honestly, i am a filipino but i haven't tour the whole philippines yet. So, i may say that Pearl farm of samal garden davao city is one of beautiful spot here in philippines. i have been there many times and i am not tired of visiting it. Pearl farm is one of the top place that is most visited by the filipinos and also with the foreigners. Pearl farm also known as the "boracay of the south" and it is like a paradise.

I love Bohol's (Panglao Island Nature Resort) intimacy and I love Boracay's party atmosphere.
