Living in a tropical country has spoiled us rotten. Unlike people living in cooler climates, we get to welcome summer with inuman sessions in beaches like Subic, Palawan, and Boracay and swim in the sea with fish, wild turtles, and whale sharks. Did we mention surfing in La Union and wakeboarding in Camsur? No wonder it hits us so hard when our work gets in the way of a summer getaway! But fear not, working girls! We can still enjoy summer even with our limited vacation leaves!

Scroll through our gallery for 10 excellent ways to make the most out of summer!
