Boracay is famously known as the best white beach in the country. I would like to disapprove sometimes. Still, Boracay holds on of the high relates of tourist to visit the island. There are several things you can do upon reaching to Boracay. Aside from the obvious of the beach, the night life is also surreal. It has different bars, and restaurant which caters anyone who would like to taste the.  Most of them are owned by foreigner. They also have goods, or “pasalubong” sections wherein you can buy them to remind you of Boracay. Some people are even fond of getting henna upon visiting the site, or getting their hair braid.

In 2007, Boracay Island topped the list of the World’s Most Popular Beach according to Yahoo! Travel.

Boracay is an island of the Philippines located approximately 315km (200 miles) south of Manila and 2km off the northwest tip of the island of Panay in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. In 1990, it was voted by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook as one of the best beaches in the world and again in 1996 by British publication TV Quick as the world’s number one tropical beach.

Story also said that Boracay, was a well-guarded secret, almost possessively so that only a few knew of its existence. It was only in the 70s when, it is said, a foreign movie crew accidentally “discovered” this island paradise. Others maintain that it was the German traveler, ‘Jens Peters’ book, which included rave reviews of Boracay that changed the island’s pace from that of being a quiet secret to eventually being voted as having the best beach in the world. Although some of this stories might not be true, bt still, its good to know.

There are also lists of the resorts you can stay, and right now there are different promo’s to choose from on having a 3 day break. To summarize it all, Boracay is still one of the best beaches in the country and contine

Just like Bohol’s man made forest, Davo also blooms its own nature park which is manmade 95 %. It offers leisure, garden fields and exciting packages for the entire family.

From their website:

A mountain resort 3,000 feet above sea level, Eden Nature Park is 95% man-made! It is a great model of how we can re-create nature and rebuild a lost environment.

Discovered sometime in 1971, the resort used to be a logged-over area covered only by a blanket of wild grass. Its potential was, however, readily seen by the owners as the property provided an imposing view of Davao City and the Davao Gulf.

Not long after, terraces were carved out of the mountain slope, and thousands of pine tree seedlings were planted. As the pine trees grew, they provided canopies allowing other trees and plants to grow and creating a secondary forest. Today, there are over 100,000 pine trees spread throughout 80 hectares, providing a refreshing backdrop to the various attractions in Eden Nature Park.
