Popular tourists spots in the Philippines, where you can enjoy your vacation.
This is a sequel to my articles “Best Island Tourists Destinations in the Philippines Part I & II.” From Bohol to Cebu then Mindoro, let us proceed to Batangas, to Subic Bay and finally, we’ll climb Baguio City.
1. Batangas, Philippines

Famous Tourist Spots in Batangas
Tanauan Aerial Sports

The small town of Tanauan in Batangas is the skydiving capital of the Philippines. The drop zone, between Mt. Makiling and Taal Volcano, showcases some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.
Anilao

Anilao, Batangas is a very popular spot for diving and snorkeling. It is known worldwide. The waters are teeming with marine life, plenty of corals and amazing diversity of fishes

Taal Lake and Volcano

Southern Luzon’s centerpiece attraction is Taal Lake and Taal Volcano in Batangas. The gateway for most visitors is through Tagaytay City, from the ridge where a panoramic view of Volcano Island can be seen. The volcano is known to be the smallest in the world.

Parada ng Lechon (Parade of Roasted Pigs)

The celebration held every June 24 in the town of Balayan coincides with the feast of St. John the Baptist. Lechons, or roasted pigs, coming from each barangay of the town are paraded, dressed in accordance with the theme of the fiesta.
Basilica of San Martin de Tours/Taal Church

San Martin de Tours is the patron of Taal, in whose honor a fest is celebrated every November 11. The church was first built by Father Diego Espina in 1575 in San Nicolas.
2. Subic Bay, Olongapo City, Philippines

Subic Bay is just 100 km. northwest of Manila. You will surely enjoy its magnificent and world-class tourist attractions. Subic Bay is a former US Naval Base transformed to Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.
Tourist Activities & Attractions
Subic Bay Yacht Club

Subic Bay is a perfect sailing paradise, endowedby nature with time-tested, storm-free harbor crystal-clear and crystal-clean flat waters.

Ours is such a beautiful country. As inhabitants of this wonderful place, each one of us must take good care of our nature. Before we roam around other parts of the world, let us first visit the many undeniably beautiful sights that the philippines has and in return we will be helping the tourism business of our own country.

Thanks for sharing, Norbert. I’m from Mindanao (a Misamisnon) -grew up there and want to go back to retire there someday. So laid back, outstanding sea food and tropical fruits.. and let’s not forget the San Miguel beer. My hubby loves it!

I suggest that you should try to go to Bacolod as well, won of the most beautiful places in the philippines wehave a lot of wonderful places like churches, water falls, great food, wonderful people, we have a lot of resorts as well and fiestas that you can attend, I suggest you should visit La Carlota City since this may they well be celebrating their Pasalamat fisteval.

Tagaytay is really one of the best place in the Philippines. Last year we went there though it was unplanned, yet my experience its worth keeping!!! one of the beautiful place to see for those nature lover, just like me!!! This summer we plan to visit again to feel its cool ambiance and to view some of the places we have’nt seen yet.
