I've only been twice and hope to live there someday.

I've been through Manila, Kalibo and Olangapo but the only cities I've stayed in are Angeles & San Fernando City in Pampanga. I like them both but Angeles is a bit more interesting. I like flying to Clark Airport too even though DragonAir forgot my suitcase It's only a 15 minute drive to where the action is in Angeles and there's not much traffic on the way there.

I've stayed at Iba in Zambales too. The beach there is massive and it was quiet in January although the beach isn't as nice as the ones on Boracay. Other places I've been to in Zambales are Botolan, Masinloc, Candelaria, Potipot Island and Magalawa Island.

Potipot Island is a nice wee island which has a Boracay-esque beach and clear waters but Boracay for me is the best place I've been to so far. I wasn't overly keen on Station 2 and around the D'mall area but I liked Station 1 and in particular, Puka Beach.

Next on the agenda is either Cebu/Bohol or Palawan but I'd also like to go to Maria's birthplace, Bicol, ride the train to Naga City and also go to Catanduanes. Also I'd like to visit Pagudpud, Puerto Galera, Siargao and Bolinao. Maybe Zamboanga too one day.

Best time of year for me would be the dry season preferably, if I'm coming on holiday, but if I lived there the rainy season wouldn't bother me.
