If you are non-resident in the Philippines, can you please answer hope you don't mind.


Answer
I once visited Boracy (1997) for a few days and vowed to never return there. It's not my type of place to relax. If you want a party party atmosphere, then go there, but you will pay a premium compared to other places in the Philippines.
I spent a few days in Puerto Princessa, Palawan (2009) and I really liked it there. I did enjoy the city tour overall, but I though it was a little odd/tacky for us to be taken to a prison camp that had no walls. I also enjoyed the 3 island hopping tour in the bay. There was one island we went to where you could literally walk the circumfrence of the island in under 10 minutes, maybe even more like a solid 5, I don't remember. I also visited the underground river, which was amazing. The trip there provided some very nice scenery.
I spent 2 nights on Corregidor Island in the Manila Bay (2009). If you like historic military history, and like to explore, you will really enjoy this island. It's not an island that can be appreciated in a one day trip. I really enjoyed my time there. "I shall return".
I spent a few days in Basco, Batanes (1997), flying from Laoag. At the time, my uncle was the Governor of Banates and insisted I visit there. I spent a few days there, not much, but really did enjoy the raw untouched nature and the frequent breeze. I would love to return back to this area and have even considered retiring here if I can convince my Filipina wife who insists we either move to her parents home in Antipolo or to the Baguio area.
I stayed a few days in Baguio (1997) and liked it there. The weather is more forgiving than other parts of the country i've been to. I love the outdoor palenke market. It's where I've seen the most beautiful vegetables and strawberries that can be grown. WOW. I still remember smelling fresh peanut butter being made and also seeing tobacco being hung dried.
I remember going to Hundred Islands when I was a kid (1985-1988) and I know I enjoyed my time there.
I've been to Tagaytay several times when I was a kid (85-88) and even as an adult (2008,09) and it's still breathtaking. There is a restaurant in the Tagaytay city limits that is walking distance from the Starbucks there. I don't remember the resto's name, but you can rent these secluded eating areas that give you a 'front row seat' viewing area of the island volcano within the lake as you eat your meal. Order an ube drink. yummy, as with all the foods i've ordred from there.
I've been to Pagsanhan falls as a kid (85-88). It's a popular waterfall for tourists. I don't remember much about it.
I accidentally discovered Sabang Beach, Puerto Gallera, Mindoro Island (1997) when I was making my way to Boracay by land and water. I was only passing through so I stayed one night, but my night time experience there was great for a single permiscuous man, so after I came back to Manila, from Boracay, the next day, I immediately went back to Sabang Beach and enjoyed every night I spent there for 5 nights. The cottage, right there on the beach sand, I rented at for a 5 day rate came out to cost me $10/day. It's a great place to relax on a budget with all the items you'd need nearby. I enjoyed grilling 2 large tuna fish over coconut charcoal (uling) and rice with several ladies I met while I was at the night clubs. If I can plan a get-a-way trip from my wife, i'd love to return there with one of my cousins who lives in the PI, to have a guys trip, Palikero style.
I also spent a few nights in Davao and only went to Eden Nature Park as my 1 tourist thing to visit. I was there to meet a lady I had become friends with over the internet that concluded in a dead friendship. I had my first taste of Durian there. It was okay but nothing spectacular.
I've never been to Vigan, Banaue, Cebu, or Zamboanga, but I would love to visit them, Zam without my wife though, Palikero style.
There's lots of places to visit in the Philippines, some worth visiting more than others.
I would visit any place i've been to before, but I sill will never care to visit Boracay. It's just not my type of place.
