Hi Reichelle!
The number 1 obvious answer is Boracay because it is a really beautiful place. The beach is just amazing! We were there last November '11, stayed at Boat station 2, The Tides hotel inside D Mall, which is literally 2 minute walk to the beach. Lunch? No problem, lots and lots of restaurants around. But for a really nice meal or dinner, go to the Ambassador Restaurant, food is just absolutely fantastic. Excellent! Okay, then there's Tagaytay, a lot closer to Manila, lots of hotels there and the view is fantastic too. As for restaurant, try the Manos Taverna, a Greek restaurant and the food is superb. But one thing you shouldn't miss is Sonya's Secret Garden. I would highly recommend this restaurant as my husband absolutely loved the food there, a very very nice place and the service is very good and was not expensive at all.
