Depends on what you consider a great vacation!!!

Manila is the capital and has a lot to offer, but isn't really big for divers, hikers, climbers, etc. Those who like to walk in nature can enjoy bohol island, those who swim and beach it can enjoy cebu, those who climb mountains can enjoy Legaspi, those who like to cave (go into caves) can enjoy Cagayan, those who enjoy diving can got to Palawan, etc.

cebu is the best ,

world class resorts, miles of white sand beach's.

modern city which is not as polluted as manila, plenty of excursions and activitys, gateway to island hopping, need i say more.

For a nature lover, you go to our man-made Ifugao Rice Terraces. The view is so magnificent with cool fresh air. If you want to go to one of the beautiful beaches, El Nido in Palawan is the best.
Hope you will enjoy your stay here and GOD BLESS YOUR TRIP!

In Manila, try staying in any of the hotels in Makati preferably close to the Ayala Center--shopping, dining, night life. Relatively safe here. You can try Carlos Celdran's tours (http://celdrantours.blogspot.com/) for an interesting look of Manila.

Outside the Metro, for white sand beaches, Cebu and Boracay are recommended. Bora is kinda expensive though. Cheaper alternative: Puerto Galera. There's a lot of beaches actually in the Philippines not so known yet. One that's gaining popularity right now is Caramoan Peninsula--setting of current French Survivor...

You can also try Hundred Islands National Park in Pangasinan--Island hopping, yellowish white sand beaches by the islands. Check this out: http://cheapgetaways.blogspot.com

it depends on what kind of person you are... if you love water, or love sight-seeing, or love night-life, or love scuba diving, or love nature, or love malling...

but for me, I would really like to go to Bohol, Batanes, Palawan, and Cebu...

I've been to Pangasinan, Baguio, Ilocos Sur, and Metro Manila, and these places are fairly nice...

^a.hermit^

boracay...

bagiuo

batanes

camiguin

its your choice

all that places are worthy to be visited...

beleive me...

It depends on what you want to do. I like the sea, diving, and fishing. I prefer Busuanga to most other places - I usually take a speedboat and cruise around between the w coast of Mindoro and the Calamian group of islands and Apo Reef for a few days.

when it comes to beach...BORACAY!

All i can add from my own experience is that you MUST visit Corregidor, Ta'al, Banaue and Intramuros.
