Puerto Galera is one of the most popular destinations especially by local Metro Manila tourists because of its proximity and accessibility to Manila on top of budget-friendly rates. A bus ride from the Jam bus terminal at Buendia cor. Taft. Ave to the Batangas Pier costs Php146 and could take about 3 to 5 hours [...]
Yes, all hell broke loose in Boracay last weekend. There were lots of people (both foreign and local tourists), loads of noise coming from party events, tiangge stalls lining up the inner part of the shore from station 1 to station 2, and trashes everywhere. Good thing there was still the magnificent Boracay sunset.
Who would have thought that beneath the hustle and bustle of a very busy city in Metro Manila lies an ecological park where one can commune with nature, take a dip into the cold water of a pool surrounded by huge trees, get together with family and friends, experience boating ala Burnham park in Baguio [...]

The Rico Beach is just one of the several beach front resorts in Brgy. Alubihod of Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. My grandfather (my mother’s side) owns it and it’s now being managed by my uncle who’s the youngest of my mom’s 7 siblings.

Situated just beside Puerto del Mar which is ran by John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation (a local maritime college), Villa Igang sports dozens of cottages for local and [...]
Puerto Galera is an ideal get-away especially for divers and snorklers. Great diving spots and clearer waters compared to those off the coast of Batangas or Cavite. It’s not comparable to those in the Visayas, of course, but for those looking for an option nearer to Manila and does not necessitate air travel, Puerto Galera [...]
I’m not sure whether “Cebu is THE Philippines’ leading tourist destination”, but the article from Go Asia: Asia for Visitors list of things to do in Cebu does sum up the best must-see’s in the island quite well.
