For sure, our feet are happier this time. Some are bound for beaches, adventure spots, lakes, caves, amusement parks, springs and some for mountains. Some even want to stay home with their family.
What's important is you know what you really prefer.
Enlisted are my top 10 Tourist Destinations. You may select one, a few or simply visit all them.
Top 10. DON SALVADOR BENEDICTO. The cool town of the Hacienderos.
For sure, only few have heard about this still town in Negros Occidental. An hour away from Bacolod, this Baguio-like town is good place to retreat, enjoy the sound of silence and explore the natural spots it offers.
a. The Serenity.
b. The eyesoothing Rice Terraces.
c. Trekking to Malatan-og Falls.
Top 9. SIQUIJOR. Get mystified and more.
Before the media have unleashed the wonderful sites of Siquijor, everyone was so reluctant to visit the so-called witchcraft island. Siquijor is never fearsome. In fact, its natural grandeur will not only mystify you, but also allures you to come back. Visit Siquijor and prove your ignorance wrong.
a. Healing Festival every Holy Friday
b. Bandilaan Peak
c. Cantabon Cave
d. Old Balete Tree
e. Lazi Church
f. Cambugahay Falls
Top 8. SULU. The paradise you might have misunderstood.
To armed men, Sulu is not a tourist spot. To locals, Sulu is not to be afraid of, nor its people. To a brave tourist, it's an untouched paradise. If there is one thing you should be afraid of, it's terrorism. And it exists not only in Sulu.
a. Provincial Capitol
b. The Mosques
c. The Foods
d. Quezon Beach in Patikul
Top 7.CUYO ISLAND. The island of silence.
Cuyo is the easternmost island of Palawan, situated between Panay and mainland Palawan. The small island is composed of three towns--- Cuyo, Agutaya and Magsaysay. Its white beaches are uncrowded. Its highest peak is so trekkable. Simplicity, Serenity and Peace are among the adjectives that describe Cuyo.
a. The Lighthouse
b. Mt. Aguado
c. Capusan White Sand
d. The 1860 Church
Top 6. ANTIQUE. The coast, the highlands and the Kawa Bath.
Antique is the smallest and the most beautiful (open for objection) province of Panay Island. The home of Karay-a people, the province boasts of it's natural spots--- mountains, shorelines, waterfalls and the kawa hot bath among others.
a. Mt. Igcoron
b. Valderrama Mountain Resort
c. Bugtong Bato Falls
d. The Therapeutic Kawa Hot Bath
Top 5. BUKIDNON. Do the roadtrip.
Bukidnon might not be at the top of the tourists' bucket list, this province offers almost all of the natural spots, excluding beaches. Many of these spots are so accessible from the main highway. Exploring them can even be done through a roadtrip.
a. Waterfalls
b. Rivers and Springs
c. Hills
d. Lakes
e. Natural Parks
Top 4. LAKE SEBU. Cool down with nature.
Lake Sebu is one of my favorite destinations. I have visited this place countless times, yet the excitement is always like the first time. The living T'boli culture and its T'nalak weaving draws in the tourists. Besides, a tourist will be bombarded with its natural and manmade attractions.

Top 1. CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN. From the country's highest to the smallest, from well-known to the unknown.
A trekero as I am, I really have a strong bias when it comes to mountains--- my first love. Summer time is the best way to climb mountains. Aside from the clear skies, we can also view the sunrises and sunsets. If you haven't been to the top of a mountain, then give it a try and you will surely feel an absolute freedom.
