Ok pa rin ba bumyahe Manila to Baguio this weekend? Not sure kung ok ang mga lugar na dadaanan. Ok lang kung medyo maulan wag lang gaya nung mga nakaraang araw na grabe ang ulan at baha.

Share your thoughts please. Thank you po

Hello po. May naka try na ba magpa reschedule ng trip going to province sa Victory liner? Nakatawag kasi kami prior mag u ulan ang sabi valid naman daw yung ticket for +15 days if hindi magamit sa day na naka sched.

If mapapa re-schedule naman may +10% sa fare pero one time lang magagawa at need na sundin yung schedule. Gusto ko lang i ask if same pa rin ba ito? Or paano po experience niyo?

Hindi kasi ako makabyahe para makapag reschedule gawa ng bagyo.

Thank you.

Hello! I am planning to celebrate my birthday on the third week of September, probably 6D5N. This will be a solo travel. I'm from Metro Manila po. I have been researching about these two beautiful islands - Siquijor and Samal. But I need to pick just one. Any recommendations po which hotel/hostels will I stay for both of the islands? Is the weather okay on September?

Thank you!

Can you suggest a nice place where my lola can also enjoy? I was aiming for bohol but all I see are bad reviews. So I would be open to any suggestion where she would also enjoy. We have visited cebu a few times so a change of place would be nice.

I want to travel somewhere in the north, mas accessible kasi sakin pag somewhere there.

We found a roundtrip fare from Toronto - Manila for $1750 CAD. This is premium economy and wondering if this is a good price? We missed the last sale. Date is flexible as long as it’s February-May 2027. Salamat po!

Manggagaling kami somewhere near R Papa station. Kesa mag jeep, balak namin mag LRT na lang pa-Roosevelt then lakad na lang sana towards Grass Residences. Kaso baka malayo. May mya tricycle po kaya sa baba ng Roosevelt station? Thanks po sa sasagot.

So I am planning a 4D3N trip for my senior parents and uncle in Boracay. There are two dates we are looking into:

• January 28-31
• February 18-21

It will be my family's first time in Boracay, so I would like it if they could experience it without any issues. That means ideal weather, no algae bloom, and fewer crowds.

The February dates were my first choice pero I'm torn because some said nag s-start na daw algae bloom by then, pero it has the closest weather to a summer feels daw. I only considered the January dates because it's in between known events (Ati-Atihan, Chinese New Year, and Valentines).

What do you guys think?

We are eyeing a 2-night stay in a 4-star resort, then transfer to a 5-star resort on the final night as my treat to them. Please help me suggest other resorts (aside sa Shangri-la) that accepts 4 people in a room kasi halos makita ko lang is maximum 3 occupancy.

Thank you!

First time going Solo here. Tips po sa pag-book ng mas murang flights?

May nakita akong post before pero hindi ko na mahanap. May shinare siyang tips kung anong day and time of the week siya usually nagche-check or nagbo-book ng flights kasi mas mura raw during those times.

Aside sa usual tip na mag-book months in advance, parang may nabanggit din siya about ilang weeks before the flight na possible makakuha pa ng lower fares.

Planning to travel sa Cagayan 6 weeks from now for my birthday, Last check ko (5-6k RT) Possible pa kaya na maghintay ako ng konti o mas okay na asap dahil malapit na?

Also sa mga taga CDO - Bukidnon kamusta ang usual weather Sep-October? Gusto ko talaga itry yung Paragliding doon.

Plan namin ng partner ko magbyahe papuntang Sagada, possibly on September, not sure nga lang if better sa first week or second week since we're worried na baka may bagyo na darating. May nahanapan na kami na place to stay (but hindi pa confirmed yung book namin kasi we're still checking the weather).

For chill tour plan namin, we already found out about heading sa tourism center nila for other places na pwede puntahan. We would just like to know kung maganda bang ituloy sa first week or second week ng September.

Okay, I need to rant a little because I’m starting to feel like I completely wasted my 7 nights in Coron

I arrived on the 15th around 5 PM, dropped my bags at my inn, and went out to find somewhere to eat. Ended up at Sharky’s and actually really liked the food and the vibe.

Day 2, I basically just rested. I was so tired that I literally fell asleep around 4 PM. Then I went out for lechon that I found nearby and ended up at a food park because apparently there’s a fiesta happening here, so that was actually nice. And I went to Mt. tapyas too, after that.

Today was supposed to be my Super Ultimate Coron Tour… BUT LO AND BEHOLD, I GOT MY PERIOD. Fuuuhhhh!!!!

So I moved the tour to Wednesday, hoping it’ll have calmed down by then.

I was thinking, okay, no tour today, I’ll just go to Maquinit Hot Spring this afternoon. And now… IT’S RAINING.

So now I’m sitting here thinking… did I just waste my 7 nights in Coron??

I think part of the problem is that I had a completely different idea of what Coron was like. I thought there would be more of a beach-town vibe where I could just walk around, find a beach nearby, swim, chill, etc. But now I’m realizing that the really beautiful beaches are mostly accessed through tours andboats, and Coron Town itself is pretty quiet.

I’m here until the 22nd and I really don’t want to spend the rest of my trip just waiting for my tour days.

So please tell me what else I can actually do around Coron/Busuanga on the non-tour days, especially if the weather is being shitty.

I’ve already done Mt. Tapyas, and I’m planning to try Maquinit Hot Spring when the rain cooperates.

Am I doing Coron wrong, or is this just what Coron is like when you’re staying in town and not doing island tours every day?

Also, if anyone has been here recently in August, what did you do when the weather was bad?

Please help me salvage my vacation

Hi! I'd like to come again to camiguin but I have late night meetings to US-based companies and all the accommodations I've tried never had good wifi. The hotels I have stayed at used starlink and fiber connections but they're still slow for online meetings, casually getting disconnected from time to time. Would appreciate any recos. Thanksss!

Hello! I'm currently planning to have a short trip in Metro Manila sometime in October on a weekend, arriving at 8pm on a Friday, and departing at 8pm on a Sunday.

What are some of the places I can visit in MM and how can I make the trip sulit? The places that I'm aiming to visit are BGC/Greenbelt/Salcedo, McKinley, and Intramuros.

Will my time be enough? Are there more places to visit? Or any places that I should avoid? Thank you for your suggestions!

EDIT: If you have any recommendations for commute around the metro as well, I would greatly appreciate it! Especially as a first-timer in MM

Planning a 2-week trip starting Oct 1

hitting Bohol, Cebu, and Boracay (White Beach). Main focus is scuba diving/snorkeling, want clear water and lots of fish if possible.

Worried Oct might be typhoon season and visibility could suck. Anyone been diving in these spots around that time?

Is it worth going then or should I push to November first week or Jan instead? Budget’s a factor too so trying to weigh cheaper October flights against better dry-season conditions. Any advice appreciated 🙏

Considering the AirFare na around 10-15k.
Is it really that worth it?
You can already travel to other SEA countries.
Am I Right?

This is going to be my first time attending MIBF but my mother is discouraging me because of the rain and flood. I feel sad that I wont be able to go since I have been dreaming of going there for months. I just really want to know if it's practical to go through with it or not 😭😭
