Unspoiled Philippine Destinations

I have listed down some of my favorite getaway spots where I could beat up the stress that is taking toll on me. A place where you can see rolling hills and canyons; farms and plantations harvesting exotic fruits and flowers most especially, the friendliest and warm people. Which, soon and hopefully, will be Eddie’s favorite destination too when he stay or prefer to live here. So I won’t beat the bush around and let you have a look on how my beautiful and warm my country is. Believe me, Philippines is worth visiting for.

Tagaytay Ridge

One of the most popular attractions outside Metro Manila, entices with one of the most unforgettable vistas—the striking Taal Lake and Volcano Island. It is considered as the most furious of the Philippines' active volcanoes.

Restaurants, bars, casino, coffee and flower shops are . This town is very safe and has all the facilities that a traveler needs. What I love here is the cool climate and very ideal for picnickers and budget travelers. I’m always looking forward my next visit here. Indeed, it’s captivating.


Shangri-la Mactan, Cebu







For water sport lovers there's windsurfing, parasailing, sailboating, water-skiing, scuba diving, snorkling and fishing. If you prefer your activity on land, there's tennis, a golf park and a fully equipped health club and gymnasium with sauna, steam bath and massage room. You can also just laze around the spectacular multilevel swimming pool which has a waterfall, slide and sunken lounge chairs. The private beach cove is a great place to relax and enjoy the sun. You’ll need to ride in a plane though to get there, just an hour away from Manila to have a heavenly escape. I have been here and it’s so breathtaking!

Baguio City

Philippine’s summer capital. At 5,000-feet above sea level, it has a year-round average temperature of 65 degrees C. A place where you can just sit in your hotel room, watch the city lights or stargazing while sipping your coffee, enjoying the cool, fresh pine-scented air. And when you’re in the mood to find some excitement, there you can walk straight at the heart of the city where you could find jazz music along the street, a party place, a park where you could walk along the cool lagoon, dine at their famous steak house, find best buy at some vintage shop and native products, or again, coffee at the mall’s patio or just around the corner. Eddie wants us to live in this place so that he can go Ghost haunting. The man who knows no fear. I say beware of the "ghosts". Boo...














That's a wrap xoxo
