places i super love and already visited:
bohol - i love love the beach of bohol. tahimik lang tama lang para mag chillax
cebu - coz of the food
puerto princesa - coz of the rock formations and the nice island hopping.
cdo - coz of the white water rafting
bora - coz of the white sand lang not the party hehe
ilocos - fort ilocandia for so nice bfast and accommodation
laiya - for the cheap accommodation with nice beach sands

nice din to go to camiguin, baguio, tagaytay

soon on my list are: dumaguete for the falls, coron for the snorkeling spots and the uber nice and clean water, apo reef for the snorkleing spot, and caramoan islands for the island hopping

next time na ang elnido kasi pag iipunan pa, and bantayan cebu kasi mahirap ang travel.

[kutingkulilit]

^in fairness maganda nga sya & ok puntahan kasi malapit lang. ngayon ko lang nalaman na may ganon kagandang lugar sa nueva ecija.

wow mga sis, sa nueva ecija ang province ko and i have no idea a paradise like this exist there! man... ahaha! dito ko lang nalaman to ah.

i'll have my top 10 soon, i'll get back to this thread. 

[mooncake and leaves]

Hindi ako abot sa top 10 haha:

1. Coron- for dimakya island and cayangan lake. i heard super ganda ng barracuda lake. sayang lang di namin napuntahan.

2. Boracay- sand is still fine and white, at least when i went there. maganda pa din naman talaga at super daling puntahan.

3. vigan- if only for calle crisologo. ganda talaga.

4. pagudpud- skip saud and head to blue lagoon. ganda ng beach na yun.

5. Manila and its outskirts- intramuros, corregidor, various churches.

Ones na gusto ko puntahan at highly recommended ng people:

Batanes
El Nido
Sagada
Donsol
Davao

My Top 10 Best Spots

1. Mt. Pinatubo - I've seen the most raved about Angkor Wa.t, the Grand Palace, and Petronas with my own eyes but Mt. Pinatubo remained on the top spot. It's hard to imagine a view as majestic and surreal as this can also be destructive at the same time. Very unique. Sama ko pa yung bumpy 4x4 ride, trekking, surreal view on top, and swimming in the lake.

2. Calaguas - I set my expectations too high for this beach kasi super effort puntahan, wala pang decent accomodation. But Im surprised, Calaguas exceeded my expectations! Very outstanding! After seeing Calaguas, antaas na bigla ng standard ko of a good beach.

3. Coron - This could have been on my #2 spot but I cant name 1 specific spot in Coron that has the same beauty. Hindi fair kasi kung "coron as a whole" versus pinatubo or calaguas alone. Nevertheless, this place is blessed. After ng trip namin dito, gusto ko na itrade yung DSLR ko for an underwater camera.

ok sorry nawili ako sumagot. pinag-isipan ko talaga yung top3 spots.

4.Sagada I   and Sagada II - Lahat ng best spots paghihirapan mo before you see it. That's the beauty of Sagada- this place is not for everyone. Bawal ang lampa. Extreme ang adventure, superb ang culture.

5. Bohol - lugar na naramdaman kong nasa bakasyon talaga ako. Kumpleto- may beach, diving site, natural wonder, rare animal, good food.

6. Boracay - whoever says Boracay is not good anymore should need to visit this place once again. Nakakaproud na people all over the world visit this place.

7. CDO - rafting is the most fun activity I've tried! nakakawala ng stress. hindi laging beach bumming..

8. Nagsasa and Capones - nearest best beach / secluded place in the metro. di kelangan lumayo pa..

9.  Pagudpud I and Pagudpud II - Kapurpurawan rock formation is impressive. Dont miss Kabigan Falls too.

10. Camiguin - for the pastel only. chos! good views and natural wonder, though nothing spectacular para laging puntahan. considering na ang layo nito tapos RORO pa kung walang ferry sked, pang#10 ko lang siya.

[mooncake and leaves]

^ hehe kala ko calaguas no. 1 mo kasi yung mt. pinatubo walang heart sa name hehe. at ayaw mo talaga ng kayangan! nyaha. i think kayangan suffered from popularity din. when you've seen pictures of it over and over again, it loses its charm. first time i've seen a pic of kayangan was in 2004 and amazed na amazed ako but when i went there 5 years later, gandang ganda pa din ako but i knew what to expect so wala yung element of surprise.

i think calaguas is the best beach in the philippines too, though i've only seen pictures and videos of it. ang ganda kasi ng backdrop eh. breathtaking siya.

[ILOVECdeO]

wow napansin mo yung heart, very good ka!
you are right, super promoted ayun tuloy i expected much of kayangan. it;s not that hindi ko siya gusto, i was impressed lalo na yung underwater rock formation- pero hindi yung "most photographed spot".. yun lang pala yun.. hehe

ordinary for me but maybe extraordinary to some.
and super bongga for me, hindi man lang kasama sa top 10 ng iba.

[mooncake and leaves]

^ hehe oo pansin yung heart. Kanya-kanya talaga. I know some people na Boracay pa din pinakamaganda sa kanila. Oh well. Mahalaga makagala

[riandrew]

Oh well. Mahalaga makagala

SUPER LIKE! 

[danda]

you are right, super promoted ayun tuloy i expected much of kayangan. it;s not that hindi ko siya gusto, i was impressed lalo na yung underwater rock formation- pero hindi yung "most photographed spot".. yun lang pala yun.. hehe

Haha! Ako din noong nakita ko iyong "most photographed spot", sabi ko, kuya ito na ba un? Haha!

[chin66ay]

1. Coron (the best ito sa lahat!)
2. Bohol - better than Boracay!
3. Puerto Princesa, Palawan - Honda Bay - enchanting!
4. Camiguin - charming!
5. Mati, Davao Oriental (4 hours away from Davao City) - the secret of the south - surfers' paradise
6. Batan, Aklan - undiscovered... calm, quiet and peaceful
7. Nagsasa, Zambales - unbelievable sight. pine trees sa beach!
8. Taal Crater - the trek is definitely worth it! but nothing to do when you're up there.
9. Bulalacao, Mindoro - so many nice beaches here... too bad it's too far... it's 4 hours away from Calapan.
10. Boracay - but it's over rated! dapat low season ka pumunta para ma-enjoy mo.

I WANT TO SEE:
Guimaras
Cagbalete
Romblon
Pagudpud
Bais, Dumaguete
Siquijor
Siargao


dami pa sa list ko!!!

[freeswan]

the places i've been to:

1. Siargao Island - the best ang lahat. waterfalls, beaches, springs, food, people, bukirin, etc. when i went there, d ako nabore sa place. laging may gagawin everyday. when i tried their beaches, WOW! perfect. virgin. imagine when you have to go through the coconut trees and and bungad nun is virgin white beach. no hotels, no resorts. just a simple hut. ng dahil sa siargao tumaas ang standards ko sa beach. most of all, i love surfing. although surfing in siargao is on the other side of the island and medyo deadly magsurf dun, i was still addicted. i went there mga 6 years ago with my cousins. after we got home, i left again and went to siargao. all by myself. stayed there for a week. enjoyed the cheap and fresh seafood and the habal habal ride.

2. el nido- nice beaches din. very serene nung place. kaso sobrang layo from puerto princessa.

3. bohol - again, for the beach, the man made forest and chocolate hills.

4. cebu - party place for me. great food.

5. boracay - the beach is nice pero d ko gusto yung sobrang daming establishments sa gilid ng dagat. again, mas type ko yung virgin beches kaysa commercialized. although malinis lagi yung water kasi may nagmemaintain.

6. zamboanga - love the people.

the rest, mga places na napuntahan ko rin pero not necessarily in order sa gusto ko;

-baguio
-vigan
-pagudpud
-batangas
-davao

places i want to go:

-marinduque - bellarocca on feb (hubby's bday)
-iloilo/ guimaras/ siquijor
-caramoan

[riandrew]

Haha! Ako din noong nakita ko iyong "most photographed spot", sabi ko, kuya ito na ba un? Haha!

same here! inulit ko pa yung tanong sa boatman namin "are you sure kuya eto na talaga yun?!"

though it fell short my expectation, pagupload ko ng pics nasabi ko sa sarili ko- oo nga photogenic talaga tong "most photographed spot"..

[freeswan]
