If you're planning to travel in Southeast Asia, you should make
it a point to see the Philippine islands. There are a lot of wonderful
places to visit in the Philippines, many of which you'll find in tourist
guidebooks about the region.Most likely, you'll be directed to such tourist attractions as the island of Boracay, with its sugar-fine white sand and turquoise blue waters.
Bohol with its famous beaches and old churches will also be part of the recommended itinerary, along with Manila for those who want a taste of culture or night life in this part of the world.
However, there are a lot of other places to visit in the Philippines that don't usually get top billing in tourist brochures.
If you're after beautiful beaches, you'll find that Boracay is as beautiful as they come - only it's become too much of a tourist trap. You'll find that commercial establishments fill up nearly every inch of the famous beach front, and you'll find the same bistros, cafes and even fast-food establishments you'd see in Manila or Makati.
Even the same mix of local celebrities and denizens of the party world are there. For people who want something closer to nature, quieter and equally gorgeous, a better option would be to visit the island of Siquijor. Siquijor has lovely beaches and dive spots too, but it remains quite unspoiled by excessive commercialization.
If nature tripping is your thing, the usual recommendation would be to see Subic in Pampanga, where deliberate developments have been made that feature zoos as well as a kind of mini-Sea World. But you can also see Davao City instead. In Davao City, you'll find the Philippine Eagle Center and the Crocodile Park, both of which feature an assortment of indigenous flora and fauna. Davao City is also home to Eden Nature Park where you can enjoy horseback riding and an exciting zip line.
Finally, if you're after a bustling night life and love a great party and good music one of the best places to visit in the Philippines would be Cebu City. Unlike Manila, Cebu offers cheaper, less commercial alternatives.
You'll find a very active local music scene with Bisaya artists performing their own compositions in various genres, including various forms of rock ranging from ethnic fusion to heavy metal, hip hop, dub and reggae. There's also the Sinulog each January, which is a festival characterized by hedonistic fun such as only the Bisaya can indulge in.
If you want to explore Davao City, Philippines, all you need to
do is to find a great tourist guide to be able to help you around.
Staying here is great because of the cheap hotels in Davao City
