    I know you put the lists in other part of the forum, but this is different. It will be all about traveling and I hope you help me to build this list with your advices. I try to edit this first post any time when I see something where I want to go and I hope this thread will be useful for other users wanting to go to the nice places in Philippines. :)
    Right now I don't have many of them but it will change with time.

    Baguio - my girl say this is the coldest place in the Philippines and she want to go there. It looks very nice on the pictures so I want to go there too. :)

    Burot beach calatagan batangas - this is her advice too. Nice and wild beach where you can pitch a tent and stay overnight.

    Kalanggaman Island - Nice and wild island too. The only down side is that there is limited number of people allowed to go on that island everyday so you should book it in advance.

    Limasawa Island - Magellan island. :) There's quite lot of interesting things on this island and I will be very close to it in may so it will be a good destination to go.

    Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos - Looks like a perfect place for people like me who appreciate very much beauty of mother nature and untouched world around us. :)

    Palawan island - all the island in total is a beautiful place so it will be a good spot for multiple visits or a long stay travel.

    Itbayat island and batan island - And probably other islands around are beautiful too. Like I can see on the pictures this is a place with very nice atmosphere. And I think I read somewhere that this is a region with lowest criminal record in Philippines. Very far away, but someday in the future. ;)

    Mount Pulag - I know that probably nobody will agree with me but trips together with your loved one are very romantic times and they will tight relationships very strong. :)
    This is very nice mountain. Third of the highest ones in Philippines and highest one in Luzon. :)

    Samar - National capital of caves. Biggest ones and most beautiful ones. If you like it (and I like it) you have to see it. ;)

    OK. So far that's it. But I know you can advice me lots of other beautiful places.

    So far I visited:
    Taal volcano - nice place. That's where my girl changed from my girlfriend to my fiance. :)
    Zoobic - animal safari where you can make photo with the tiger.
    Pagsanjan Falls - Nice adventure but quite expensive. :)
    Intramuros, Manila - little about history and culture of Philippines and Filipino people.

    That is good research and can give other people here some ideas :like:
    I have only been to Palawan in the list of the places you want to visit and that island was the best place I have been to in the Philippines. The scenery is stunning and I enjoyed the scuba diving in El Nido also.

    Coron - an island just off the north coast of Palawan - is the place to go. Expensive mind.

    This, evidently is Batan. It could easily be a scene on the Isle of Man.

    Where is your lady from? It can make a big difference.

    As a rule I would say that most Filipinas are more relaxed if they are amongst their own people, so someone from the Visayas will be less at ease in North Luzon, and so on.

    This is Mount Kanlaon, in Negros. Canlaon City is a "mini Baguio" with the same climate, due to the height, but only a small town.

    I found next nice place. It is mount Pulag near Baguio. :)

    Mt Pulag is the third highest mountain in the Philippines and Luzon’s highest peak at 2,922 meters above sea level. As the highest mountain in Luzon, Mount Pulag attracts many mountain climbers because of its montane forests and grassland summit with its "sea of clouds" phenomenon.[​IMG]

    Good one. If our climb of Mount Canlaon at Christmas is any guide, there may be regulations to comply with and you may want to bring camping kit and boots and rucksacks with you from the UK

    She is from Leyte. In May I am invited to Leyte to Tomas Oppus on a fiesta and family reunion party. :)

    Right! First stop Leyte, unless you have already been there and met her family?

    No. This will be my first time in Leyte. Right now I was only in Manila and around because she live in Manila now. I meet family only from Manila but on the reunion it will be like 100 of people. :p
