Guiwanon Spring Park Resort, Siquijor

The Guiwanon Spring Park Resort is a man-made resort in the middle of a mangrove forest in Luyang, Siquijor. Tourists need to walk on the wooden pathway, passing by some of the cottages that can be rented. The scenery in the area is good because of the greens, accentuated by the trunk and roots of the mangrove plants. At the end of the park is an open hall where you can stay and relax with the cool sea breeze. Entrance fees are to be collected. READ: My Solo-Backpacking in Negros Oriental, Siquijor, and Bohol

ABOUT ME: SIRANGLENTE

Mt. Manalmon

It's a mountain in Bulacan that can give you a great experience. The trails are simple, there's a relaxing ambiance on the summit, there's a gorgeous landscape, and the rock formations are picture-perfect. Experience the extreme by hopping from one cave to another. There are other outdoor activities that you can try courtesy of the local government and the tourism office.

UCM Adventure Park

It is a place with a gorgeous landscape and a stunning view of Metro Manila's shining skyline. It is one of the newest tourist spots and destinations in San Mateo, Rizal, yet it became prominent because it’s 1 to 2 hours from Metro and for a short travel time, you’ll enjoy the beauty that the province possesses. Free up your memory cards; you’ll definitely need more to capture the spectacular scenery surrounding the area. What makes it relaxing? I think it's the fresh and cool wind blowing.

Britania Group of Islands

The Britania Islands are just a few of the hidden paradise of San Agustin, Surigao del Sur. These are like huge boulders dropped into the water and the fine white sand exploded from the sea bed. Every islet is surrounded by crystal clear waters and fine white sand. There are several islets but we only reached found because of the high tide. If you're in Surigao del Sur, add this group of islands to your bucket list.

Lanao del Sur, Backpacking in Mindanao (BARMM, Regions 10 & 11)

Marawi City, the capital of Lanao del Sur, is one of the cities in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. It has a colorful culture and overflowing with stunning attractions and destinations. Before my solo backpacking,  whenever I shared my itinerary, the common response of my friends was, "It is not safe in there," that negative statement did not affect my travel plan.

Bud Bongao

Bud Bongao, in Tawi-Tawi Province, is a sacred Muslim pilgrimage site where our Muslim brothers and sisters meditate and offer prayers to Allah. Not just the centre of religious activity, this mountain is an iconic landscape. Thus, it is the top tourist spot in the province. By the way, "bud" is a Tausug word that translates to "mountain" in English.

Ifugao Tourist Spots

1. Batad Rice Terraces

The amphitheater-like rice terraces of the Cordillera region captured the eyes of the world in 1995 as it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site List, and Batad Rice Terraces is one of the five spectacular rice terraces of Ifugao. Less than a thousand years ago, the people of Ifugao mastered agricultural practices that included the creation of terraces. This agricultural landscape is proof that the early civilizations already knew how to improve their crops by adapting to natural factors through terracing. READ: BATAD RICE TERRACES

Bulacan Tourist Spots

1. Barasoain Church

In Philippine history, Bulacan is one of those provinces with a lot of happenings and until today, the historical sites are still standing. Let's start with Barasoain Church, also known as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish, a Roman Catholic church built in 1630 in Malolos City, Bulacan. From Bulacan Provincial Capitol, we rode in a tricycle to and alighted in front of the church. It was early in the morning so we had time taking photos without people on the background. Disadvantage? The church was open but the museum was closed. I was stunned by its structure, thus, standing in front of the facade was remarkable.
