]]>Taal Volcano
One of several volcanoes lining the western edge of the island of Luzon, Taal is pretty popular with tourists thanks to its close proximity to Manila. The fact that it’s one of the most active volcanoes in the entire country isn’t stopping it from being a major tourist attraction, and its crater lake is a sight to behold.
Mount Pinatubo
Pinatubo is another active volcano in the Philippines that’s not struggling to attract tourists to its grounds. Located in the middle of a lush forest, Pinatubo is a popular hiking spot, with many hiking trails leading to its crater lake.

Another show-stopping volcano on the island of Luzon, Mayon is the Philippines’ most active volcano, but people still can’t resist visiting it. The volcano and its adjacent surrounding have been declared a protected area and its nearly perfect cone made it extremely popular with landscape photographers.

]]>Lake Pinatubo
Some of the lakes in the Philippines have been around for thousands of years, but not this one. What makes Lake Pinatubo so unique is the fact it was actually formed by an eruption that took place in 1991 and led to the formation of one of the most stunning crater lakes near Manila.
Taal Lake
The eruption that led to the formation of this lake took place between 100,000 and 500,000 years ago, and its consequences are still largely felt. Taal Lake is still around to tell its tale, and it’s one of the Philippines’ most popular lakes despite its proximity to the country’s second-most active volcano.
(@snapshotphotosafari)Lake Maughan
Lake Maughan is located on the shores of Mindanao island, and it was formed during the eruption of a stratovolcano known as Mount Melibengoy. What makes it so interesting is that this volcano only had three recorded eruptions, and one of them left us with this marvelous lake.

Manila is home to several world-class museums and countless intriguing art galleries, but its street art is equally worthy of your attention.
Food and Nightlife
If you’re dreaming of going on an ultimate food trip, the Philippines capital is a place to be. Fancy rooftop bars and laid-back pubs will also win you over.
Historic Chinatown
Manila’s Chinatown, commonly known as Binondo, is one of the city’s top attractions – and also the oldest Chinatown in the world.
. These guys were recommended by @lonelyplanet so I googled them up and contacted them. The walk was called “Nibbling your way through Chinatown” and, as you must have guessed, it involved tasting Chinese delicacies 
at several places while roaming the streets and discovering the history of this interesting neighborhood. Besides myself there were 4 other people from Malaysia. It’s a pity that I did not have more time, because these guys have a guided walk through the Chinese cemetery, which I would have loved to do as well…OK, next time

]]>Overplanning
In The Philippines, the weather can easily change from sunny to stormy. Typhoons are very common in the summertime, so the best time for a travel is between November and May. However, if you still get caught in the middle of a storm, be flexible with your schedule. Also, arm yourself with patients if you are planning to use the public transport, especially boats or buses. They schedule are notoriously unreliable and can change at any moment.

Yes, you’ve read it correctly! Do not ever show up on time! in the Philippines, it is considered impolite to arrive punctually. If you have Filipino friends, you have maybe noticed that they are always, but always late. Arriving 15 minutes later is recommended and socially acceptable.
Criticizing someone’s karaoke skills
If you don’t want to get rejected by the locals, you shouldn’t ever criticize someone’s karaoke singing. Filipinos love, loooove to sing karaoke, and they will do it anywhere and anytime as long as they have the right equipment. Don’t be rude, and don’t be judgmental, instead grab the mic and sing along.
