Because of its enormous popularity, many Americans and Australians who have visited the wonderful island have called it home. Siargao is different from other surfing sites because it is free of pollution and trash. Another good thing about the island is that it is free from commercialization. Nonsurfers can also enjoy the island. Because of its relaxing and laidback environment, people enjoy hanging out in the beach. They can also enjoy watching surfers glide on the waves. The nightlife in Siargao is different from Manila, as it is more tranquil and peaceful. You can simply enjoy cool drinks while watching the sunset.

Cafe By The Ruins is the most unique restaurant in Baguio City in terms of its philosophy, menu, and structure. Also called the ruins, the cafe is a stretch of Stone wall across the street from Baguio City Hall. Inside the restaurant, bamboo slats, poles, and weaves nestle against the Stone and lush greenery. It also has windows which invite the cool Baguio air. The food is so fantastic as it is changed quarterly according to seasons. The food is homecooked, and reflects health and ecology of Baguio and the Cordilleras. Cafe By The Ruins is indeed very much alive in the city.

The moment you enter Camp John Hay, you will be astonished by its beauty. You will notice a large bentgreen grass-filled golf course within the camp that is designed by Jack Niclaus, which is accessible to members and nonmembers alike. It is also great to cruise the pine tree-lined roads while feeling the cool breeze and viewing the beautiful landscape. Camp John Hay also has great hotels such as The Manor Hotel, a shopping center, and a convention center. Although the camp has changed over time, it still remains a wonderful and relaxing place for everyone.

Minesview park is usually the next stop after visiting the Mansion and Wright Park. Once you enter the park, you will pass winding stone-covered pathway that slopes downward leading to the observation deck. There are also rock benches that lay along the pathway where you can simply rest and enjoy the view. I recommend that you visit the park in the morning because fog starts to move in during the afternoon, which obstructs the view. Of course, there is a wide assortment of “pasalubong” or gifts that make Minesview Park an enjoyable place.

One of the famous activities you can indulge in is skating. A circular skating rink allows you to rent skates, and it is located at the southern end of the park. There are also basketball and tennis courts for the active sports enthusiast. Other things you can find at Burnham Park are a few restaurants, children's playground, outdoor kiosks, and an orchidarium. The football Field hosts lots of activities such as parades, concerts, carnivals, and display booths. If you plan to visit Burnham Park, do not forget to bring your camera to capture great moments with family and friends. Burnham Park is one simple and enjoyable ways you can spend your time in the city.

If you want to have a great time in the city, you have to visit Intramuros, which is the “Walled City”. It was built during the Spanish regime, and still looks beautiful. The cobblestone streets which were once trudged by the Spaniards, are windows to beautiful Spanish architecture. Also, go to Malate and visit two of the oldest churches in Manila, which are the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church. Experience a breezy afternoon at the Baywalk, which is a long strip of walkway on Roxas Boulevard. You can watch the beautiful Manila sunset at Manila Bay.

If you are in the area, I would highly recommend you to visit Anilao. This place hosts one of the best diving sites in the country, and a favorite among tourists. Some of the spectacular dive sites in the area are Batalan, Caban Cove, Ligpo Island, Merriel's Rock, Sombrero Island and Verde Island. Aside from these diving sites, you can also experience great beaches. Batangas is also a hub of white sand beaches located in places such as Nasugbu, Calatagan, San Juan, and Matabungkay. Of course, you can also visit attractions such as the General Malvar Museum and Library, Mabini Shrine, Taal Heritage Village, and the Basilica of San Martin de Tours.

Going to Bacolod is very convenient as well. If you are going to take a boat, it will take approximately 18 hours from Manila. Bacolod is the place to be for seafood lovers. Fresh oysters are a great delicacy in this city. Of course, never leave Bacolod without tasting the city's number one dish, which is Chicken Inasal. Do not worry about getting lost in this big city because there are only two main roads with the others along those roads. Bacolod is also known for its old unpainted houses, fresh fruit stores, scenic mountain views, and very friendly people.
