here are my top 10:
1. el nido - for me this is the best, super laid back plus konti lang ang tourists... almost all the spots have marine life, sobrang daming fish...the limestone formations are thumbs up, parang nasa lord of the rings...

2. Caramoan Islands - the place is close to palawan because it also has limestone rock formations...i love Manlawi Island, it's a huge sand bar with fine white sand as in sobrang lawak yung water up to waist lang if high tide...

3. coron, palawan - the lakes, plus the super fine white sands of banana island and snorkeling at siete pecados

4. sagada - the caves, falls, walking on rice terraces...a super relaxing place...love the weather...

5. pagudpud in ilocos norte - saud beach, blue lagoon, kabigan falls plus the bangui windmill parang nasa europe ako =)

6. vigan in ilocos sur - the heritage village is amazing...parang nasa spanish era...

7. bohol - chocolate hills is the best for me sa bohol plus the cute tarsiers...kasi before sa mga books ko lang nung elementary nakikita, pero sa sobrang like ko sa chocolate hills twice na ko nakapunta sa bohol and this september would be my third  (hindi naman halata diba?)

8. Bantayan Island in Cebu - the white fine sand beach of sugar & virgin beach plus ogtong cave

9. boracay island - the long stretch of fine white sand plus the crowd not to mention the best party place...

10.Anawangin in Zambales - picture perfect place, super nice backdrop of Mt. Pundaquit, parang nasa ibang bansa...

i havent been to a lot of places in the philippines so top 3 list nalang
1. coron palawan- i love the place coz its still not that developed yet. AND we went to this shell island where u can get really big seashells in all shapes and sizes. they are in perfect shape pa.

2. bohol- the area where they shot muro-ami has a lot of fishes. good diving spot too

3.boracay- the sand here is still the best. the hotels are great and the foods yummy

i didnt really like cebu and subic that much. baguio now is also not that nice anymore.
