Tagaytay is a nice place and well worth a trip. Make sure you visit the "People's Palace in the Sky". I've also been to Batangas and Mindoro, but not for a long time. I remember that the ferry from Batangas Pier to Mindoro was a rough ride and people were being sick! But the boat was like a large banka. On the way back we caught a Supercat, which was much more comfortable! If you scuba dive, there are some nice dive sites around Anilao and Peurto Galera.

Our next trip to the Philippines will be over Christmas and New Year. We'll be spending some time in Manila and my wife's province in North Luzon. We usually go on a couple of side trips too. Last time it was El Nido, which was amazing. Now, we've got two children, so it'll be more difficult to leave them with relatives. We might go somewhere a bit more family friendly. A return to Boracay is long overdue for us, so that could be an option.
