The Philippine Travel Blog is an experimental project on group blogging with focus on Travel and Philippine destinations. Our goal is to promote each and every travel destination of the Philippine's 7,107 islands, serve as a guide to tourists and travellers, and educate the reading public about the great wonders and richness of the Philippine archipelago -- all thru the power of blogging.
Canyon Cove Residential Beach Resort is located in Nasugbu, Batangas. It is a two and a half drive away from Manila via South Luzon Expressway on an ordinary day. Expect to add another hour on your travel time though, especially on a weekend where traffic is sometimes heavy southbound.
Batangas is one of the most visited provinces in Luzon every summer, more so during long week-ends and holidays. This Holy Week, scuba diving is one leisure activity that’s hot among a lot of resorts in Batangas.
This is our first attempt at doing a travel video podcast or vidcast. All scenes were shot at Batangas during the recent Holy Week. Armed with a Nokia N95 and a Canon EOS D40, we spent 3 days and 2 nights at Nasugbu, Batangas visiting Terrazas de Punta Fuego, Pico de Loro in Hamilo Coast, [...]
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.

I already know Los Baños and Calamba resorts almost like the back of my hand. Add to that the hordes of tourists that ply the South Expressway each [...]
I bet you’ve heard this line before when you are about to go on a road trip to a place you’ve never been to before. When you asked the only person who knows about the place if it’s too far. Usually that person would answer, “it’s not far from here, just a one hour drive.” [...]
This is a frequently asked question for some of the tourist and Balikbayans when they visit Manila and only have 1 day free time to visit a place outside Manila.

While on a brief break, my family and I took off to Bacolod and went down to search for THE beach. My father mentioned a newly opened resort which supposedly boasts beautiful cottages up par with resorts in the north. THAT got my attention.
