“It’s easy to feel at home
in Dumaguete City. It has
mountain resorts and hot
springs, and can be your
jump-off point to other
places like Cebu, Siquijor,
Dapitan and Dauin.”
“Bohol has a rich history,
breathtaking beaches and
serene nature spots without
the noisy crowds. It offers a
‘getaway’ in the truest sense.”
Keep tummies full with chicken inasal
(PHP80-100) at Jo’s Inato and bring
home silvanas and sans rival (PHP100+)
as
pasalubong
from Sans Rival Bistro.
Head over to Dauin for beautiful beach
resorts and diving spots, or to Balinsasayao
Twin Lakes for an enchanting nature walk.
Make it a top priority to visit Bohol Bee
Farm (+63 38 502 2288), a resort in Panglao
Island widely known for its restaurant and
organic farm.
Get a feel of local nature
at the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park where
you can take in a breathtaking view of the
Chocolate Hills while on a zipbike (PHP450),
a creative cross between a bicycle and a
zipline.
Spend at least three or four days
in town to experience everything that Bohol
has to offer.

“Boracay’s festive
atmosphere is hard to find
anywhere else. There’s
always something going
on; there’s never a boring
moment.”
Have breakfast at Real Coffee & Tea
and make sure to order the calamansi
muffin (PHP45), or try the all-day buffet
(PHP760) at Sea Breeze Café in Boracay
Regency.
Leave your worries behind
and simply go partying, island hopping
and parasailing!
For an affordable and
homey beachfront resort, stay at Azzurro
di Boracay (azzurro-boracay.ph) in Station
3. A family room costs approx. PHP4,000
a night.
