Places to go to in the Philippines
By: The Raf
Having travelled all the way here for the wedding, you might as well plan a proper vacation. Here are a few spots I can recommend:
Metro Manila
The Philippine capital. The area is heavily populated and traffic can be a handful however, it has an impressive offering of shopping malls and an unlimited choice of amazing restaurants and bars. Malls/Areas you have to visit are Mall of Asia, Greenbelt Mall, Eastwood City Libis, Trinoma, SM Megamall, and Tiendesitas. Good restaurants are too many too mention, email us if you need recommendations.
Boracay
The country's most famous island and one of the most spectacular beaches in the world. Boracay is known for its powder-fine white sand beach and wild night life.

Palawan
Unlike Boracay, Palawan offers a more relaxing experience in an unspoiled environment. It's mystical bluish green waters and lush green islands with white sand beaches will surely take your breath away. The most popular areas of Palawan are Puerto Princessa, El Nido and Coron. Island hopping is a must do thing when visiting Palawan.

Bohol
Famous for its "Chocolate Hills", and much much more, Bohol can be considered as one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Philippines.
Baguio
Ironically, this tropical country's "summer capital" is the mountain city of Baguio. Baguio offers an escape from the heat of Metro Manila. Baguio features numerous parks and some of the best produce in the country. A few of its famous landmarks include Burnham Park, Camp John Hay, and Mines View Park.
Tagaytay
Located just 1.5 hours from Metro Manila, Tagaytay is worthwhile adding to your itenerary. Choose from an unlimited number of restaurants, most of them offering views of the famous Taal Lake and Volcano, for a truly amazing dining experience.
