philippine islands

singing *it's getting hot in herrreee* from nelly's famed song years back. yes, it's getting hotter and hotter in my beloved country specially the months of april and may. people flock to the beaches and getting ready to show off their toned bodies. due to the more than 7000 islands in the philippines, there are so many places i still haven't seen since i grew up in the city. 

the most famous is boracay island in aklan because of it's white sand beaches and parties with clubs and bars at the stretch of the beachfront patterned after bora-bora, ibiza. 

this is where i last stayed and i loved it so much because it's beachfront

there are many beautiful places to go to and here is my top destination list that i have yet to see:

>> amanpulo resort at pamalican island, palawan --- it's part of the aman luxury resorts worldwide and rumored that tom cruise and other hollywood stars had been there. such an irony that locals have to pay in dollars and a lot cannot afford to step in this island. must be really heaven. 

amanpulo

>> panglao island, bohol --- another white sand... i'd love to swim here.

eskaya resort beachfront

>> mactan island, cebu --- it is said that the europeans back in the 1500s first stepped here.. the legendary ferdinand magellan. so now it's known for it's luxury resorts. 

the only hilton cebu resort and spa

>> camiguin island, mindanao --- i'd love to go back to camiguin. the last time i was here, i really appreciated mother nature for giving such lovely place. 

this is called the white island 

you can only see it whenever it's low tide and back to the sea when it's high tide

katibawasan falls

i remember swimming here and it's so beautiful

i quote: "we're oriental and western too.." 

so true.. a melting pot of malay, chinese, american, spanish and japanese cultures. that's the filipino culture.
