Visit Vigan

The eight-kilometre underground river through a cave and the capital of Palawan.

The best-preserved Spanish colonial town in Asia — cobbled Calle Crisologo, horse carriages and ancestral houses.

Visit Cebu, a vibrant island province in the Philippines. Explore Magellan's Cross (a Christian cross planted by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1521), snorkel or dive at Moalboal (famous for its sardine run and coral reefs), and try lechon (a whole roasted pig, considered a local delicacy). Don't miss the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño (the oldest Roman Catholic church in the Philippines, housing the Santo Niño de Cebú statue).

Visit Davao, the largest city in Mindanao, Philippines. Explore Mount Apo (the highest peak in the Philippines at 2,954 meters, a popular hiking destination), stroll through People's Park (a public park with sculptures and gardens showcasing local culture), and try durian (the 'king of fruits' known for its strong odor and creamy taste, often sold at local markets).

The food capital of the Philippines, the Dinagyang festival and a river esplanade, opposite Guimaras island.

The summer capital in the pine-covered Cordillera, a night market and strawberry farms.

Island-hopping among the Bacuit lagoons of northern Palawan, limestone cliffs and turquoise water.

A city built on water with no cars — gondolas, Byzantine mosaics, and getting happily lost in the back canals
