Cagayan De Oro
Review of Cagayan de Oro (Mindanao) by
kimshimshim
Advantages: Friendliness of people
Disadvantages: Lack of Infrastructure
The "City-Of-Golden-Friendship" and it is. People were so polite and nice. I stayed in a few hotels while I was there.
First time was the LeMarr Inn. I would recommend it for one night, but that is all. It's decor is old and you have to climb a m ...

Review of Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Metro Manila Philippines (NAIA) by
kimshimshim
Advantages: Helpful and friendly staff.

Review of Balinghai Beach, Boracay, Visayas by
tee-chan
Advantages: still unspoiled area in Bora
Disadvantages: can't think of any
Boracay is a spectacular place in the Visayan Region here in the Philippines, and you would have never seen everything if you have not been to this beautiful island wonder.
The sand, the beach, the people...but sometimes, it gets a little crowded specia ...

See Negros for yourself!
Review of General: Negros (The Philippines) by
tee-chan
Advantages: hospitality, simplicity--the humbleness.
Disadvantages: some people might find this place too rural
Well, Negros (Occidental and Oriental) is about the best place to be in if you're in this country. For one, the humble city of Bacolod is found in this place, the city I might point, is the home of the famous Masskara festival and, of course, the forever ...

Terraces--upheaving.
Review of Banaue Rice Terraces, Banaue, Luzon by
tee-chan
Advantages: Sights, trade, tourism, simplicity
Disadvantages: long trip, but worth it
"Stairway to Heaven" the locals declare, and it has actually exixted for thousands of years created by the hands of local tribes people called the Ifugaos. Hailed once as one of the seven wonders of the world, visiting it left me thankful there are still ...

An Underground River? It's worth the trip!!
Review of Puerto Princesa Underground River, Puerto Princesa, Palawan by
tee-chan
Advantages: being close with nature--AWESOME!!
Disadvantages: I enjoyed it, so then there's none.
If you're looking for a hidden haven, you would find this particular spot in the Philippines quite all that--plus more! I'll give you reasons...
1.) the atmosphere...dive into the cozy cold of this intriguing cavern that stretches down below the island. ...

Quick review of Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Metro Manila Philippines (NAIA)
Review of Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Metro Manila Philippines (NAIA) by
Palpak
why on earth is there no bus shuttle or pedestrian walk between Naia and the domestic airport? This is the only airport in the whole world that has this inconvenience? Is this unthinkable? why are all Naia passengers subjected to the hardship/difficulty/suffering/pain of checking out incl their baggages, going out of naia terminal and making it to the domestic airport at their own risk with public transport ?Havent the great/smart Filipino management of these airports finally thought of bus rides, convenience?

Review of Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Metro Manila Philippines (NAIA) by
flyingsparks
Advantages: secure airport, generally friendly staff
Disadvantages: A complete lack of seats
Manila International is the most secure airport I have ever travelled through.
It is the only airport I know where you cannot even get up the approach road to the airport without having your vehicle inspected by armed security.
Once you get near the t ...

A nice Cebu accommodation.
Review of Days Hotel Cebu by

Staffs were all very nice and helpful. There was no pool but the water pressure is great. The "gym" was one of the rooms about half converted using old and pretty sad machines hope they update it to much latest gym technology, but they did have a few free ...
