This tropical villa in San Vicente, Palawan

Palawan will continue charming travelers, both old and new.

This glass cabin in Bukidnon

While there are no direct flights to Bukidnon yet, taking a two-hour bus from Cagayan De Oro will be worth it.

This riverside cabin in Siquijor

Tourists may shy away from Siquijor as it’s known for black magic and everything mystical, but when you put these on the side, you’ll get why the island is slowly becoming the country’s next big destination. Waterfalls, breathtaking cliffs, and white sand beaches paired with thrilling activities – no wonder why it will be difficult to leave this island.
