Top Things to Do in the Philippines on Vacation
There are endless things to do in the Philippines, from world-class beaches to vibrant cities. The ideal scenario for most guys would be to find an attractive Filipina they like, do some sightseeing around the city, and then go to one of the beautiful tropical islands together.
Manila attractions and activities
Manila has a museum, art gallery, Fort Intramuros, Rizal Park, The Mall of Asia, theme parks like Star City and Manila Ocean Park, the world’s oldest Chinatown, majestic old churches, the Makati entertainment district, and some of the world’s best casinos such as City of Dreams, Solaire and Okada casinos, not to mention thousands of restaurants and cool bars.
Cebu City highlights
Cebu City has Magellan’s Cross, Temple of Leah, Mango Square entertainment district, bars and clubs, and many great nearby beaches and islands.
Other Philippine cities
Of course, there are other big cities like Iloilo, Davao, Bacolod, Baguio, and smaller cities and towns with fabulous attractions.
World-class tropical islands
The Philippines has some of the best tropical islands in the world, like Palawan and Boracay, and you can stay in resorts there for anything from $30 a night to $1000 plus a night, depending on your budget.
Boracay experience
Boracay has been visited five times with stays there monthly for under $500 in excellent serviced accommodation.
Just do your research on the internet before you go to these islands and book in advance to get the best deals.
The reality of Philippines travel
The Philippines is a beautiful country, but it has its faults. You will encounter poverty, begging, aggressive prostitutes and transgender individuals, overcrowding, poor infrastructure, traffic jams, power outages (brownouts), and more.
But on the flip side, you will encounter the friendliest and most hospitable people in the world. Increased human interaction in the Philippines certainly makes you feel much more alive.
The environment is astonishing
The environment features 7,000 islands full of coconut and palm trees, majestic waterfalls, white sand beaches, crystal clear water, delicious fresh organic vegetables, organic fruit, fruit juices, and other unique foods exclusive to the Philippines.
Beautiful Filipinas everywhere
You will find some of the most beautiful women in the world in the Philippines, and you will understand why they win the Miss Universe beauty pageants so regularly.
It is not just their external beauty but also their kind, caring, gentle, feminine nature, which is fading in the Western world with so many “independent, boss babe” masculine women.
Enjoy your vacation
So, enjoy your time in the Philippines, whether it be your first or twentieth trip there.
It is more fun in the Philippines!
