Witness the majestic mountains of the Cordilleras and the surmounting Mount Apo resting in the hands of the horizon. Transform your dreams into reality as your eyes lay on the picturesque view of Taal Volcano. Get awed with the modern city lifestyle offered by glittering lights in the busy streets of Manila, Cebu and Davao. See the evolution of architectural designs from the pre-colonial designs in Northern Luzon to the Spanish designs in Vigan, American designs in Baguio and the modern skyscrapers in the heart of Metro Manila.

Staighten up your muscles, free yourself and experience watersports in Camarines Sur. Dive into the seas and snorkel in Boracay, Palawan and Guimaras.
