I suggest you go to the best beaches in the Philippines. If you have enough money, going to Boracay would be fun. But if you like some beach resort with fewer tourists and that you won't need to spend a big amount, go to Pagudpud. This is not very popular among many filipinos but this place ir really wonderful and I guess you'd better be there before it's gonna get commercialized. It's better when natural, right?

Anyway, if you're tired of the heat in the Phiippines, the best place to go is Baguio City, a city built on top of the hlls. The weather is like that of the fall in your country. YOu can get to the highest point of the Philipppines too while you're here. It's even colder there.. Next spot? Well, go to Sagada and explore on caves. It's really fantastic... From Sagada of the MOuntain Province, get to to the world's used-to-be the eight wonder which is teh Banaue RIce Teraces. You'd be amazed to see these rice fields in the mountains and arranged like stairs...

We also have a so-called Spanish Town in the Philipines found in the Northern part - Vigan City. It's a great place, such a historical one and the buildings here have been existing for years. Here, only foreign tourists are allowed to ride on a carriage. You're lucky!

If you like history and you're not yet tired of the scene in Vigan, visit Calamba, Laguna where the Philippine National Hero, Jose Rizal, lived...

You go to Camiguin Island for some beach tripping also. You'd find a lot of fruits, meet a lot of people... Some people in that area speak Spanish. It's cool to be there.

Philipines is also a good place where you can enjoy some water sports like surfing. If you consider such, well, go to Sorsogon - the home of Philippine surfing. If you want some kayaking, consider Kalinga... There's a wide river there, clear one and lively for any activity.

You are alos welcome to the greenest province in the country: Palawan! If you get here, you wouldn't want to go back to the civilization you got used to. You'd find a lot fruits, be amazed with the beauty of the beaches, and get to see some trees and animals known to exist only in this place...

There are a lot more and get the chance to find more places to go by getting in touch with the Philippine Tourism Authority...

That's all, dude....

Hi, If your thinking price with nice. Orchards Resort, Boracay. Sometimes the beach shore is not too great though depending on the time of year. Bagio is over rated, but if your into buying beautiful things it's a must. I found it hard to breath with all the smog.
I have heard of nicer beaches, but Boracay is a nice time.

Boracay is so popular, but i think that is not the best place to go..why not try, Palawan, Camiguin and Mindanao, so many activities you can do there like fiestas, falls, springs, and many more...

Boracay Beach.

ilocos region, palawan, cebu, camiguin, la union and siargao (if you like surfing), davao. boracay is too crowded already but it's still considered the most popular. if you want something original, go to batanes. nothing much to see but i've heard it's like wales.

Definitely Camiguin Island . Watch the sunset at the White Island and eat lanzones while you are there.

Boracay! very fine sand, clear waters and lots of fun things to do. it's a "barkada" destination.

Amanpulo- I havent been there yet coz as of this time I dont want to spend $600 per night for a place to stay! but a lot of people say that its the best.

My favorite spot is boracay. Lots of links to tourist spots on my group. If you like white sand, then also places in Cebu.

Boracay would be the number 1 place. It is so beautiful. I would also recommend Chocolate Hills in Bohol. A lot of people will say Baguio but it is overrated.

cebu, chocolate hills, boracay

^^ FUN FUN FUN

manila, boracay, cebu, baguio, and davao

Mindanao is nice but a bit dangerous especially for foreigners. Boracay, if you like diving is a good place. Shopping will be in Metro Manila and if you're interested in historical churches.
