Oh my gosh! This thread is soooooo helpful! Kasi nasa "Wow Philippines" mode ako since I first visited Boracay last May (I'm 27 years old and it was my first time going to Boracay, pathetic I know). I've been to a few Asian countries but I haven't really traveled the Philippines much. After visiting Boracay, I realized how beautiful the Philippines is. And I can't believe na inuna ko ang ibang bansa. But not anymore!!

Other sisses who have been around the Philippines, kindly share your Top Ten! I'm planning to visit some Philippine spots next summer.

Sagada is my favorite so far! Andun lahat- climate, food, culture, adventure. If not for the long trip lang, I would go there to unwind.

Puerto Prinsesa- Very close to nature ang peg. Masarap din ang food and very nice ang mga tao dun.

Siquijor- may kakaibang charm at mystery ang place na ito. Very peaceful din at ang ganda ng Salogdoong Beach.
