I wish I could travel around all the historical and beautiful tourist spots here in the Philippines. This is one of my dreams if someday I could win a big first prize from any entertainment or anything...I would never go out to another countries unless I go around first my beloved Philippines. Sad to say, the only known tourist spot that I had been was Mayon volcano. Wow how I wish I could go back again. It was unbelievable at first. It was too good to be true. How about you what's the most beautiful place in the Philippines you've been to?

Hello mobhomeir! I don't travelled a lot because I don't have budget right now..heheh..But honestly, I have seen many good places here in the Philippines who are natural and that were not touch by modernization yet. I would say that the beautiful place in the place that I have been to is in my hometown in Surigao. It's an island surrounded by beaches which cheaper than any other beaches that I have ever known.

I think the Philippines has such a vast spread of beautiful areas that the best is the ones yet to be discovered. Personally I dont like going where the tourists go much prefering to head off track and look for natural beauty. Sometimes the best views can be right in front of you from a flower or butterfly to natural landmarks. But one of the top ones has to be the Coral as its a big reason why divers come here. I just hope more is done in the future to protect the sealife and the natural coral

I got your point. It's not that I am discounting the beauties that you mentioned I like it too, in fact I am a pro-environment individual. One of sea environment I would like to see would be at our Malapascua Island, thanks for your ideas, I appreciated it..

Hi mobhomeir, we share the same thoughts, i do love to travel the entire archipelago given a chance. So far I've been to several places- which I considered marvelous, Tagaytay, Batanggas- Nasugbu and Calatagan are quite famous of their beaches- but I heard that lots are heading towards Laiya, San Juan Batangas for their white sand attraction. I've been to Cagayan- my father's hometown, I feel overwhelmed with the place, as it is so close to Ilocos where Pagudpod is- (I suggest you visit this place!) I fell in love with Zambales- nice sand, nice beach, really nice place. I visit Sariaya and Pagbilao Quezon- beaches are good but it has jelly fish, my friend was stinged hahaha. Aninuan and Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro- good place too. And the most beautiful that I have even been was in CEBU!!! Cebu, I'm definitely coming back.

I have been to Banaue Rice Terraces before and it's the most beautiful tourist's spot that I've ever seem yet. Well it's very obvious since the scenery is one of the 8 wonders of the world. The climate is cold so it makes it more comfortable to atleast visit it. Make sure you're on a sweater though.

So far there are only few places that I've been through and one of it is tagaytay which for me is the most beautiful and easiest place to go to. Its very accessible coming from quezon city and I can explore the place within the day. I really love its cool weather, nearest place to relax!
