Southern Leyte Tourist Spots

1. Maasin Cathedral

The top tourist spot and destination in Southern Leyte is the cathedral, a catholic place of worship in the city. It was originally built in 1700 by the Jesuit priests; however, it was severely damaged because of the Moro’s rebels. The bricks and the mosses on the façade give an older and unique look which is perfect for modern selfies. This cathedral is definitely one of the historical pillars of the province. Since it is situated in front of the plaza and a few meters away from the City hall, it is one of the busiest areas in the city. You must include this historical place on your itinerary.

Apayao Tourist Spot

1. Lussok Cave

Lussok Cave is one of the prides of Apayao and the Cordillera region. This cave is composed of four chambers, with artistic limestone formations. Not only that, it offers a remarkable caving experience because of the spectacular sceneries that can only be seen in the small caverns. Also, did you know that the countless bats residing inside Lussok produce the most expensive fertilizer called "guano?" With our Lussok cave experience, I learned that motto: "kapag ang pumatak sayo malamig, that's Holy water, but if it's warm, that's holy sh_t."

Abra Tourist Spot

1. Kaparkan Falls

Social media sites and travel blogs helped Kaparkan Falls become one of the top destinations in the North. It is situated in the Municipality of Tineg, Province of Abra, part of the Cordillera Administrative Region. Traveling from Manila to Bangued, the province's capital, is more than 8 hours. Plus, another 2 -3 hours off-road to Sitio Kaparkan - the jump-off of Kaparkan Falls. As I always say: "time is just a number," but the reward will be a breathtaking and stunning body of water - the majestic Kaparkan Falls!

Featuring Sorsogon (14 Best Tourist Spot)

1. The Pink Beach or Subic Beach

Our arrival at the stunning Subic Beach or Matnog, Sorsogon was around 11:30 AM. I was excited because, from afar, we easily recognized the long stretch of white sand shoreline with quaint cottages and tourists sunbathing. As we were getting nearer and nearer and nearer to the coastline, what we were seeing were boats parked by the beach. Children and other tourists were swimming between the boats - that scene was not so picture-perfect. Instead of mingling with the crowd, I and Tin proceeded to the area with fewer people.

Featuring Masbate (9 Best Tourist Spots)

1. Tinalisayan Island

Tinalisayan Island was our second destination from Alibijaban Island to the Burias Islands. Traveling from Animasola Island to this island takes an hour, but this is irrevocably number one among the three islands we visited. When I jumped off the boat and landed in the shallow, crystal clear water, I easily felt a relaxing feeling because the water was cool, contrary to the heat and UV rays from the sun. Our boat was parked by the tip of the sandbar, so walking on the long stretch of fine and powdery white sand, with the other visitors in their colorful swimming attire, was just awesome! This long sandbar always greets the visitors with breathtaking beauty.

Occidental Mindoro Tourist Spot

1. Inasakan Beach

Inasakan Beach is one of the paradises in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. Upon getting off the boat, I was stunned by the texture of the sand, and it’s definitely the top 1 or top 2 of the finest sand I’ve ever seen so far, competing with Bitaog Beach in Dinagat Islands. Maybe 200 to 300 meters long, this small stretch of fine white sand greets all visitors with its perfect panoramic view of the mountains, coconuts, quaint cottages, bamboo, and other greens that preserve the tranquility in the area. Of course, the beach cannot be complete without the calm crystal clear water. WATCH MY VIDEO
