Lucban, Quezon is a tourist destination during May 15. It was called Pahiyas festival. The festival is celebrated annually to commemorate San Isidro. He was the saint of the farmers. Yearly you can see homes decorated with "kiping" a brightly-colored, leaf-shaped wafer made of rice paste.

Going here in Lucban during May 15 is an unforgettable experience for you and your family

IMO, Pagudpud is the best and huge place to visit if you’re looking for the comparatively ideal charms of the Philippines. Pagudpud is a wide and beautiful town where you can enjoy every moment. Moreover, Maira-ira is the perfect beach for family vacation and it’s also known as Blue lagoon.

1. Boracay
Renown to be the beast beach in the world and possibly is a strong contender with its 7km long of white sand and tropical palms, Boracay is a year round resort.
2. Malate district in Manila
for the night life.
3. Palawan, Puerto Princesa City
green forest city.. and a beutiful underground river.
4. The Island of Bohol
This is near Cebu in the center of the Philippines, there are so many things to visit on Bohol that you might want a whole week with chocolate Hills, excellent diving and the tarsier's viewing.
5. Batanes
Batanes is the northernmost province of the Philippines. It is the smallest province in terms of land area and population. You will surely love this place. It is the best place for nature lover and people who love tranquility and serenity. This is where the Pacific Ocean merges with the South China Sea. Batanes is great for summer vacation, fishing, diving and hiking.One of the most notable facts about Batanes is its claim to a zero crime rate. Violent crime is unheard of on the islands and even petty theft is a rare occurrence. Visitors who misplaced or lost personal items are told to visit the local radio station in Batanes so that an island-wide bulletin can be aired. Locals who have found items are also likely to drop them off at the station.Batanes’ Honesty Coffee Shop, believe it or not, there is no one minding the store. Instead, a clear plastic jar is left on the counter for customers to pay for their snacks and get their own change. It works under the honesty system. Softdrinks, instant coffee, candies, biscuits, noodles, chips and other snacks are available. This is one of the many things that make Batanes a unique place to visit.

It is easy to say "I like Boracay or Palawan or Puerto Galera" because these are nice pretty places to visit!

I like Manila!

I think Manila is an exciting and interesting city to visit! You have friendly people, nice restaurants, reasonable hotel prices, cheap transportation and modern malls. You do put up with some poverty and they could do a better job cleaning sidewalks and maintaining street lighting but you should have seen some of the city years ago!

I have seen lots of improvements over the past 10 years in the Manila area, in particular in the Ermita section. Too many tourists can't wait to avoid Manila and fly out to the cushy pretty places and ignore some of the history of the Philippines.

I think Manila is worth a visit as much as the beach areas!

The last time I visited Philippines, I went to bohol. I was fascinated with the "chocolate hills" and the smallest monkey can only be found there too. You will be amazed with the features. Then I took a ship going to camiguin island. Wow! the" sinking cemetery"is a breath taking experience too. Then, I went to palawan for diving.

Surely, i will not miss to visit the said country again this year.

Koron, Palawan

Yes, I can suggest Koron, Palawan on the Western side of the Philippines. It has a magnificent lagoon hidden between some limestone formation within the beach, which I got to see during a scheduled inter-island cruise. You can check it out in Google.

Boracay is truly the paradise island of the Philippines. Tourists with different nationalities enjoy the clear turquoise waters, fine white sands and assortment of beachfront restos and bars.

One of the best qualities of Philippines is their lovely and amazing beaches. Smile

We are heading for Highlands in Tagaytay tomorrow to celebrate a friend's birthday. It'll be a perfect place to ease away stress and just be away from the hassles and bussles of the city. However, it's still great because it's still close enough for about 2 and a half hours of travel.

Also, if you want to visit the Philippines, you can try to visit Anawangin in Zambales. It'll be worth it.
