Travel the Philippines

Very interesting. May I ask for the sights to see? What are the good places that Nueva Ecija has to offer to tourists? Reading about places and hearing friends' stories makes me feel (somehow) that I have traveled the place already. (^^,)

I haven't been to Nueva Ecija yet. How is the place? What are the good sites to visit? Is the food cheap and good?=) Aside from a place to stay, one of the 1st things that I consider is the food that the city has to offer. =D I'm a foodie. Second are the attractions like amusement parks, gaming places, sights to see, etc. Manila is indeed very polluted but they have a lot to offer for visitors. The traffic is just a killer but then, it's still a good place to go around. =) Cebu has a whole lot of good spots to go to. The food is really cheap and delicious too. =)) I tried their go cart racing circuit and boy I never want to stop! Hahaha! =D

We have relatives in Nueva Ecija and we just stay at my grandparents' house or otehr relatives. The wind is nice there, some trees and it is easy to go from one place to another since the traffic flows freely.. Products are cheap too.

Oh! I haven't answered your discussion properly yet! haha I'd like to go to Vigan as well, island hopping in Davao (wild water rafting and zip line), I would also like to try the rafting in Cagayan de Oro and try the longest zipline in Cagayan/Bukidnon area. Corregidor is a great place, I'm also looking at Bataan because of the rich history. Surigao and La Union for serving and deep sea fishing also sounds like a great idea! I just have to earn enough in mylot to make it happen...

I agree with your 1st post, traveling the country would pose as patriotism too. =) That's why I prefer traveling the country 1st before traveling Asia and the rest of the world [dreaming big, planning ahead so I'll have an inspiration to make it big (^^,)]. I tried water rafting and zipline in Davao. It's sooo much fun! Plus the snorkeling and the beaches made it 100x more fun. Cebu have a lot of places to go too. The traffic is incomparable to Davao's smooth pace but heck, the places to visit are well worth the wait.=) I've been to Surigao before but never got the chance to go to their attractions. Time was so limited then. I was on medical supplies sales back then, so I really had to budget my time and money. =/ I guess that makes the two of us, we'll earn much on myLot to be able to travel more. Hehe! =D

Davao is good mic of rural and urban which makes it a good travel anchor, you have the luxury of rural areas to visit and the slow pace, but the night life is not lacking like in most provinces. Most of the places to go to in Cebu are pretty expensive though, if you are going to Bohol for Panglao, it could be worth your while surveying the city. There are just so many places to visit in the Philippines.

Hi Suzieqmom. The place where Taal is located have lots of establishments Now catering to tourists. The Tagaytay area near Taal is a beautiful place Where there are lots of restaurants, spas, cable cars, horse riding activities, accommodations and the view from up there is breathtaking... I am sure You will like it better the next time you visit the place. The Palawan Underground River which is now included in the list of the Seven Wonders Of The World is worth visiting as well.

Hi Suzieqmom. I've also heard a lot of great things about Taal and Tagaytay. I haven't been there but the place sure has plenty to offer. Thank you so much alicia812 for sharing more about Tagaytay. My friends have been there and they told me plenty of nice things about Tagaytay. Compared to how it used to be, there have been a lot of developments there as of now, they said. =)

Hi Alicia, We rode on one of the cable cars overlooking a deep valley (and the volcano, off to one side)--it was very beautiful. The Palawan Underground River sounds interesting--I think I will do some research on it for our next trip!

I have been to Cagayan de Oro before but haven't got the chance to look around. Maybe some time I'll visit the place and try rafting.=) Bohol is a must-see too. I just hope I won't encounter my insignificant past there. Haha!

Hahaha! I'll think about that. XD

Hahhhahahaha really?well you should visit more there..LOL..

There really are a lot of wonderful places to visit in the Philippines. We also have a lot of undeveloped places that are ideal for a great getaways. I'm a nature-loving person and going on nature adventure really excites me. Oh I'd love to visit Baguio and Siargao too. I've never been there.

I agree with you. I sure hope they'll have a more positive perspective of our country. The Philippines has a lot of great places to visit. Some of my relatives have visited Baguio already and they brought home wonderful stories and memories of Baguio. =)

I hope you enjoy your visit here. There are a lot of wonderful places to visit in Cebu. Don't forget to have a taste of their dried mangoes. Also, if you're up for an adventure, you can try their edge coaster ride (you'll be seated in a moving chair with safety lock, on the 38th floor of the building) and sky walk (walking on a fiber glass path at the 37th floor of the building) both at Crown Regency Tower Hotel. It's a must try for tourist to the city. I also had a taste of it. =D I haven't been to Boracay but I'm sure you'll enjoy it there. You might also want to have a side trip at Davao City. Eden Nature Park is a must visit in Davao City. Aside from that, Davao City boasts of the accessible beaches from the city proper and for being the most livable city in the country. You might also like to visit Cagayan de Oro City. The white water rafting is a must try. It has been featured several times on national TV here in the Philippines. The food is also affordable in Cagayan de Oro City. =)

That's good to know maximax8. =) There are indeed a lot of wonderful places to visit in the Philippines. Excellent choices of cities to visit.Cebu offers really cheap but quality foods. I haven't been to Coron, Palawan yet but it's on my list of places to visit too. =) Manila is a heaven for those who are always on the go. If you're into night life, their clubs close by break of dawn. Hehe! =) If I may suggest, you could also include Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City. Both cities are very promising. Davao City has been labeled as the most livable city and child-friendly city. It's a big no-no for people who do crimes. Both Mayor and Vice Mayor has been very strict with peace and order. Beaches are just 10 to 15 minutes away from the city proper. Cagayan de Oro City is has a lot to offer too. If you love adventure, this is the place to be. Cagayan de Oro City is 8 hours away bus ride from Davao City. you may also opt for the 45 minutes airplane ride from Davao City to Cagayan de Oro City. You could start in Cebu. It's almost in the center of the Philippines,in the middle of Manila and Palawan, being part of Luzon, and Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City, being part of Mindanao. =)

And the financial aspect also hold us back from traveling too. I would really love to travel but it'snot something that I can do on a regular basis. =)

Hi sweety_81. I don't think language will be much of a problem if you happen to come by.Most people know and understand English. Some may not know excellent English but everyone will be helpful if you need it. =) I'll pray that you can come so you'll be able to have a wonderful vacation. =) Vegan diet has been going on here too. Organic foods have been promoted here by Vegan people themselves. =) I hope you could come in the future. =)

Boracay really is a top spot. I haven't been there but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Ligao is something new to me. I haven't heard of it but I'll read about it. Thanks for sharing. =) Oh.....Baguio really is a wonderful place, most people say and I really want to visit it. To bad I still can't afford the travel. I've been to Laguna way back in 1999. Perhaps it's time to revisit the place. =) I want to go back to enchanted kingdom and be like a child again.(^^,)

I've only been to number two, among your list of favorite cities. I was able to go to Suriagao but was not able to visit the attractions. Too bad. And we have the same interests with places. I sure am looking forward to visiting all those places. =)

Definitely, same here kababayan (fellow Filipino)! Good to meet another proud Pinoy here on myLot. =) We do have a lot of great places to visit. Not to mention the food specialties in every city that has to offer. Looking forward to visiting more places in the Philippines. People are so warm to visitors and very helpful too. =)
