why not go to palo alto ca instead they got a nice swampy area

If you're a Westerner, unfortunately you'll have to stay away from the southern islands where Abu Sayyaf is active.

On Luzon, Sagada is a great resort, and you'll pass through Bagio and you'll likely see Marcos' granite head between the two cities.

In Manila, there are a lot of sites (or so I've heard--I've been there three times and my filipina wife won't let me site see!)

Food in Manila is extraordinary and cheap. Stay away from the American and Western restaraunts (you can get those anywhere) and eat the local stuff--the filipino eat-all-you-can, the Japanese, etc. My favorite was a Japanese sushi bar (also eat-all-you-can) near the Mega Mall. The selection was unbelievable, there was so much food!

I always gain weight in Manila.

Here's something else you HAVE to try, and I've only seen them in the residential areas early in the morning (up to about 11am). If you're outdoors in the morning, and you here someone yelling "tah hoe!" try to find them! It's a sweet soy breakfast food that men sell out of buckets. I've wandered for blocks just looking for them, and I always get three just for myself. My wife gets mad because I won't share.

Well, what are you looking for?

Well, if you're looking a place far away from the busy cities. I suggest that you visit Eden Nature Park in Davao. It's a very nice place. 3'000 feet above sea level makes the place very cold in the evening. It is a very big place to explore.

Well, if you want everything packaged for you already then check Cebu Pacific. They have a wide variety of choices.

You definitely have to go to Boracay!
Paradise!

warrior is a child

you shouldn't miss sagada mt province for it's caves and for the famous hanging coffins and it's near banawe,where the rice terraces are.

Lots of tourists who include shopping in their itinerary visit Makati Ayala Center and Shangrila Plaza.

If you want to enjoy the beach, then go to Boracay Island.

akaDelilah

Aside from Boracay, you might want to see:

Bohol
--> you'll find Chocolate Hills, Tarsier, Loboc River and of course, Panglao beach (to name one).

Bataan
--> Corregidor Island

Ilocos
--> Vigan (and try their "bagnet"), Laoag and Pagudpod (beach, not so pricey places to stay at and lesser crowd).

jan-na~â™¥~ and im luvin it

if you love wakeboarding, try caramoan in camarines sur.. very cheap..
boracay was beautiful and untouched 10+ years ago
try camiguin and el nido..
sagada is great, too.

It depends on what you are looking for

boracay for party people...but palawan for those who want some peace and calmness...and loads of wonderful places....

Sapph

I think that Boracay has gotten a bit overcrowded but if you want to party, go there... And if you go there, go to Jonah's try their shakes! They're really good!

Palawan is a nice place to go to too... Love the beach there...
Among others are:
Bohol (The Panglao Isaland is great.. Just be careful if you're going to pick a resort there since if I remember correctly... there is a better side. Go on the Luboc River Cruise. And if you get a chance... watch the Luboc choir perform or practice... they're really good.), Batanes (breathtkaing sceneries), El Nido (beaches!), Batangas (beaches!), Tagaytay, Baguio

Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao.

i must say boracay too, the island offers a festive nightlife..with its white sand beaches, i must say it is indeed paradise.. but you can also try checking other beaches in the country like camiguin or in mactan, cebu...

tashrash

BORACAY ISLAND if you're a beach lover who loves to party.
BANTAYAN ISLAND if you're a beach bum who wants simple pleasures.
BOHOL- Visit Panglao Island and the chocolate hills, small place,interesting culture.
CAGAYAN DE ORO- White water rafting
BAGUIO and TAGAYTAY- for the great outdoor
