Three-Week Vacation in the Philippines

Igal and I just finished our almost 3-week trip around the Philippines. We’ve been planning it since December last year. Number 1 on Igal’s things-to-do list was diving. I let him decide on where he wanted to do the dive and he chose Coron. I then started working on other places we could visit from Coron. We have finalized our target destinations by January and and we’ve decided on exploring the following places:

• Masungi Georeserve
• Coron (Busuanga) Palawan
• El Nido Palawan
• Puerto Princesa Palawan
• Siargao Island

Here’s how we went around:

Masungi Georeserve can be done as a day trip from Metro Manila. Our island activities kicked-off at Coron. There’s no direct flight from Puerto Princesa Palawan to Siargao. Travelers should transit either through Cebu or Manila. We chose Cebu because it’s closer. We only spent a night in Cebu since we didn’t have enough time. If we had an extra week, we could have stayed longer to explore it.

This vacation means I have new write-ups added to my things-to-do. Crossing fingers! 🙂

Have you been to the Philippines? How would you spend your three weeks when you go on vacation in the Philippines?
