Best Places to Relax in the Philippines (By Region)

When COVID-19 was declared by the World Health Organization as a global Pandemic, we were hiking Mt. Hamiguitan, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Davao Oriental. It was our second day when we passed by a small spot, along the trail, with a low reception but able to receive messages. Though we were still connecting the dots due to the lack of complete details because of the slow connection, one thing was precise: the president had already declared the lockdown of the NCR. Instead of enjoying the beauty of Hamiguitan, we were silently walking on the trails, and our minds were focused on going back to Manila. After the tiring and expensive travel to reach Clark Airport, we surpassed all those emotional struggles, and today is Day 11 of the community quarantine. Below is a list of stunning tourist destinations to visit in the Philippines.
