Encouraging more people to visit Limasawa

So this little island under Leyte has recently gained popularity due to social media and all and it all makes sense. An absolute hidden gem that to be fair, rarely has any foreign tourists or from what we have seen we were the only ones at the time as it's a more off the beaten path.

Sure getting there isn't the most efficient and easiest way as you have to land in Leyte and ride all the way down to the port to get a boat which schedules really vary due to the tide.

The island itself lacks touristic infrastructure but it has places to stay, finding basic supplies is a challenge and theres no real supermarket, you would have to ask for locals help. Getting around is very helpful with guides but man there's views and views and views for days and highly recommend it if you wanna take some stunning pictures at the lagoon, the gorgeous dak dak beach, the temple. It's a tiny island with so much to see and it's so raw which is good and bad. Im encouraging more people to visit to help the local population, create more activities, theres already some incredible free diving spots. But if you're ever close, i do believe the trip to get there is definitely worth it.

How many days in El Nido/Coron?

I'm trying to decide how many days I should be spending in Coro as i will be arriving there, from what i see, its a pretty small place with not too much to explore and i feel like i should spend more time in El Nido, does 2 nights in coron and 3 in el nido sound like the best plan or how about 5 nights in el nido would be more than suficient as its more or less the same place?

Does an apsc camera fit in a 2.5L bag?

Got a trip upcoming to SEA and ill be wearing my more island tropical fits and a sling bag will be more than necessary to carry my personal items, aside from my phone, would it be possible to fit an apsc camera like a sonya6000 with a sigma 56mm lens in it or should i opt for a 4L?

How can this suit be improved?

Picked this havana suit from ss few years ago but never got to wear the full set. Feels like the pants make me look shorter or it's just me, it's going to be my half sisters wedding and i need this to be as clean as possible, it's all linen. Should i get a vest, is a tie necessary? Any adjustments need to be tailored? Was thinking perhaps the loafers might be a bit too bulky or too dark

Is El Nido an absolute must see?

So I'm having a huge month long trip to the PH to see family but based on my budget i need to be careful on how i choose my destinations. So far im torn between spending a few nights in Siargao or truly witness the magic of Palawan. I'm hearing that Siargao perhaps is over hyped or whatever while Palawan is simply magical. I'd love to do both but if it comes to choose between the two I'll need suggestions.

What are some islands that can't be missed?

So I'll be in the PH for almost a whole month as I have family obligations, a wedding and given the time I would like to plan a trip that won't break the bank but at least I'd want to experience PH as its whole.

The entire trip is about 25 days but, with my other obligations, it's about 2 nights in manila, a week in Tacloban so that's 10 days gone in commuting and so on. Palawan is a must see but going from Tacloban to El Nido will definitely take time but I feel like I should add one more destination to the trip. What is one place I can spend some time at without taking too long on commuting there? Im thinking Moalbal Cebu before taking the flight to Puerto Princesa

Most efficient way to go and leave from El Nido?

Will be in the PH for a month visiting family and I'll be bringing my mom and a cousin alongside with me but I want to keep it as time efficient while not spending too much.

The current idea is that we will be traveling from Tacloban, then Cebu flight to PP, 5 hours in a van sounds a lot but i believe it will be quite the experience until we arrive to El Nido. Now im thinking of a stay of 3-4 nights in that spot but the question is, we will need to go to manila afterwards. I've seen there are flights to the Clark airport but not the main airport. So my question is, is it better to go from el nido to Clark or return to PP to flight to the main airport which sounds like pretty tiring.
