Hi redditors! I’m planning to visit soon and gusto ko lang sana humingi ng recommendations from locals or people na recently nakapunta doon. Ano yung mga must-try food spots, cafés, or restaurants na talagang worth it? Looking for both sikat and underrated places sana.

Also, ano pa yung magandang puntahan bukod sa usual tourist spots? Baka may hidden gems, scenic places, or chill tambayan kayo na marerecommend.

Gusto ko rin sana malaman yung mga local culture or customs na magandang malaman before visiting, pati mga bagay na dapat iwasan or “don’ts” habang nasa Baguio para respectful din sa locals and sa place itself.

First time!!! How many valid id do I need for a domestic flight? Since first time ko i have no idea. Also, pwede naba barangay clearance lang if ever walang valid id? Thank you po sa sasagot🫶🏻

So since arriving like 5 days ago food has been an interesting experience with my digestive system. Usually cramps in the morning and followed by some toilet time.

Anyways.. I’ve had this for like 4 days but this evening everything changed, I feel really out of it and spacy and I’ve also the chills… in this weather.

I purchased some electrolytes and some interesting water in the pharmacy and I’m now in bed. Ngl I feel like a truck hit me.

Obv I will go to the doctor tomorrow if I still feel horrendous, the chills hit me straight after snorkelling.

Any advice would be great ! Or similar experiences for people that visited the Philippines.

One thing that I have done wrong is washing my teeth with the tap water, but apart from that I can’t think of anything else really.

1. May public transpo ba (jeep/bus) going to tourist spots?
2. How to avoid excessive fare?
3. Any general tips for the trip?
4. Any food recos?

Hi! I’ve researched a lot pag-uwi ng Metro Manila from Liwliwa.

1. Wait in San Felipe for Cubao/Pasay Bus

Cons: Matagal daw waiting time and high chance na standing.

2. Go to Olongapo Terminal and ride a bus to Cubao/Pasay Bus.

We plan to maximize our stay and checkout by Monday 12NN. Hangout saglit and leave liwliwa ng mga 1-2 PM.

Alin ang mas better? May copies ba kayo ng trip schedules from Iba/Sta.Cruz/Olongapo just so we know anong perfect time mag-abang sa San Felipe?

Are there other buses from Bagio to SM Clark or Clark Airport aside from Genesis?

The route has not been included in Genesis' recent posting of schedule, maybe there are other buses or puv shuttles that we can ride

or should i just wait next year? planning to go to thailand or vietnam sana

What does solo traveling feel like? I really want to explore the Philippines. I have the budget and the time naman, but I don’t really have anyone to go with since my friends already have different priorities, and some of them have their own circles and travel groups too. That’s why napapaisip ako… what if I try solo traveling?

But honestly, I’m scared. I’m worried about commuting on my own and baka mawala ako. Maybe I’m just being paranoid?

If I ever decide to do solo travel, what are the things I should prepare for, and what mindset should I have before starting? Thank you.

Hi! First time traveling internationally and medyo kinakabahan ako 😭 I booked our Cebu Pacific tickets separately under my account for me, my mom, and my sister, but I didn’t avail the seat selection add-on.

Is there still a chance na magkakatabi kami automatically during check-in? I’m a bit anxious about flying airplanes (not super intense naman, but enough to make me want to sit beside family sana 🥲).

Should I just avail the seat selection add-ons now, or may chance pa rin naman na magkatabi kami without paying extra? Would appreciate any advice or experiences, especially from people who flew with Cebu Pacific recently. Thank you!

So they’ve removed a bunch of routes out of operation recently. As in, it will cease to exist from July onwards. They state “geopolitical” reason, yet all other airlines have been operating as usual and normally.

They fly internationally so I assume that they can get jet fuel where it is cheaper.

I was thinking maybe AirAsia is going broke? Company mismanagement issues? I don’t know, I just find it so shady.

Add the fact that they’ve been having issues refunding people (takes forever so pinapaikot pa pera) or some have been opting to change flight time and date, only to find out the route doesn’t exist na pala on their travel date. AND they’re still allowing future bookings. Para siguro they have money to reimburse others tapos rereimburse din nila later on, kung baga buying them time lang.

I don’t know ha, I’m not very educated on it, just a hunch. What do you think?

I’m planning to go on a solo trip to Bohol next month and I’m thinking of doing this itinerary:

Day 1

- Arrive in Tagbilaran in the morning > Travel to Panglao > Hotel check in

- Snorkeling/DIY island activities - I’d like to do some snorkeling, but I checked Klook and most of the tours seem to be group activities. Maybe I’ll look more into DIY options instead, or if you have anything you’d recommend for solo travelers.

- Panglao Beach sunset + dinner/night stroll

How’s the nightlife around Panglao and how lively is it at night? I’m not into clubs or partying, but I do enjoy chill places with live bands/music. Do most cafes stay open that late?

Day 2

Klook Countryside tour (whole day)

Day 3

Open for recommendations before heading back to Cebu in the afternoon. Maybe there are still places around Panglao or Tagbilaran worth visiting.

Thanks!

Any tips/recos po for us couple as first timers sa PG? Planning to celebrate our anniv there pero swak lang ang budget. We'll also be going with our motorcyle. Saang beach resort po kaya magandang magstay? Yung white beach or aninuan po sana. And also accommodations kung may alam mo kayo kindly share po. Thank you so much!

Hello!! Baka may marerecommend kayong magandang beach resort yung beach front lang sana ng Casapsapan Beach and may magandang spot. Thank you!

We will have 3D 2N trip in Cebu, we will be staying @ cebu city

1st day

Morning - Magellan's Cross

Afternoon - Wife and Daughter will attend a wedding, I'm planning to spend my afternoon sa Temple of Leah then meet them sa dinner at TOPS

2nd day: Safari (any recommendation for car rental (with driver))

3rd day: Ocean Park for most of the day after having early lunch then 1000 roses (heard its not worth it daw, what do you think?)

Then derecho na kamk airport after 1000 roses

Any advice and suggestion? Car rental recommendation for day 2?

Naghahanap kasi ako ng pwede puntahan pero parang lahat over sa pricing like may accommodation na nga may entrance fee pa dun sa accommodation. Suggest naman kayo ng worth it puntahan na hindi overpriced.
