]]>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.
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.

]]>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.
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.
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.

]]>Bathala’s Jeep Tours takes you around Siargao and shows you the best activities the island has to offer.
Siargao is an eco-friendly island with bamboo straws replacing plastic straws and NGOs supporting local farmers. The coffee tour focuses on the endemic coffee beans of Siargao and is sourced directly from the farmers. So you can be sure that you’re getting an organic farm to table coffee.
Banig is a Philippine material made from palm (buri), and pandan or seagrass leaves. It’s a sustainable material that’s typically used in East Asian countries. This material is used to make mats, bags and even water bottle holders. How nifty and crafty! If you wanna come up with own design, you can practice your weaving skills here.
Try out the Bathala Siargao tour for an in-depth look into Northern Siargao. This area is densely populated with coconut trees and the roads are perfect for riding a motorbike on or even cruising on a longboard. The view will be breathtaking for hours on end with a day’s chock full of activities to immerse you in the island vibes.

]]>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.
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.
