Local Travel Destinations; History, Culture, and Sights


Wazzup Pilipinas!?

From North to South, the Philippines has tons of places worth visiting any time of the year but most especially, during Summer when everyone wants to either escape the heat and take a dip in beautiful beaches or take advantage of the dry season to explore beautiful sceneries and take on some adventure.

Here’s a quick list of the local places worth checking by every travel enthusiast.

Bulacan. Bulacan is only minutes away from Manila, a province with so much history, culture, and craftsmanship to boast of. Take advantage of the dry season by learning the art of jewelry making, crafts, garments, and even pyrotechnics. Visit the famous landmarks of Kalayaan Tree, Biak-na-Bato Cave, and Barasoain Church and discover the colorful history of the province and of our country. Aside from these sites, Bulacan also offers a number of resorts families can take advantage of with only a short trip from the metro. If you only need a day or a weekend to take some time off, Bulacan could be a good option as you don’t have to travel far to have a different environment.

Batangas. Located on the southwestern part of Luzon in Region IV-A, Batangas is a popular summer destination, especially for Metro Manila residents, as this is very accessible to the metro.

San Juan, Batangas is one of its popular municipalities known for its white-sand beaches. If you’d rather go deep down the waters than spend time under the sun, then Anilao, Batangas might be the place for you as it offers excellent diving sites.

Quezon. If you’re in for a road trip and food exploration, then you’re on the right path with Quezon Province. Another one from the South, Quezon offers one of the most exciting food adventures. A local delicacy that tops the list is its flavorful Pancit habhab which is made from the province’s own produced Lucban Miki Noodles. Aside from being mouthwatering and nutritious, it is famous for the way it’s eaten – not with the use of any utensils but only with a banana leaf that serves as its plate, too. Fold the banana leaf, and it will serve as the utensil you need to eat the pancit as it squeezes the pancit for you.

Not fond of noodles? Then try their sweet treats like the Puto Bao. Made with glutinous rice and macapuno filling, a taste of this sweet delicacy will surely entice you to forget anything about diet.

Bacolod. Fly to the Visayas region and visit the City of Smiles, Bacolod. The capital city of Negros Occidental is not only known for its MassKara festival but also for its diverse tourism attractions. From the pristine white beaches of Lakawon Island to the relaxing springs and waterfalls at Mambukal Mountain Resort to the historical landmarks of Balay Negrense and San Sebastian Cathedral, you will surely not get enough of this city’s offerings. It is simply a place where the beauty of nature can be explored and culture can be learned.

Bogo. If you want to retreat from the city buzz, Bogo City in Cebu is a nice breakaway from the daily hustle. One local destination that can provide a serene and breathtaking ambiance is the Capitancillo island. The Capitancillo island is a protected marine sanctuary of about 600 hectares in size. With its perfect clear blue waters, snorkeling and diving are truly relished by travelers. Though rather a small island, it will not disappoint in providing a secluded and stunning experience.
