"Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm.
It is located in Barangay Iwahig, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, 35 minutes by tricycle from the city proper. One can take a jeepney along Valencia Street or may hire a tricycle/private vehicle going to the penal farm. It is located 16 kilometers south of Puerto Princesa.
The colony encompasses a 37-hectare scenic farm planted with coconut palm trees, rice, and other crops cultivated by the prisoners and their families. The prison has about 4,000 population and many inmates live with their families in so-called rehabilitation areas. Within the farm is Balsahan River, known for its cascading waters coming from the nearby mountain. Iwahig is more like a modern farm, rather than a prison, where prisoners toil their farms unguarded and are allowed to earn an income by working in the many shops which turn out various handicrafts, most popular of which are the handcarved items made of mahogany wood. The farm is definitely a good shopping stop for tourists.
Vista Luz Picnic Grounds.
It is located in Circulation Road, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, 5-7 minutes by tricycle from the city proper via Circulation Road. It is two kilometers away from the airport.
It offers facilities like cottages and picnic huts. Locals come on weekends for swimming and picnicking. The biggest hut called the pavilion is good for groups up to 100 persons. Two cottages, each with two beds, electric fan, and private bathroom are available for an overnight stay.
Nasin-aw White Beach and Silica Beach.
It is located in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, 5-7 minutes by tricycle from the city proper. The beach is two and a half kilometers away from the airport.
It is a seaside fun place for those who wish to indulge in marine pleasures, without leaving the confines of the city. The fine white sand and clear waters of White Beach make it a perfect spot for swimming. A few picnic tables were installed but an overnight stay is not possible since there are no accommodation facilities here."

Located along Macajalar Bay, it is the regional growth center of Region 10 and headquarters to the business and trade centers of the Cagayan-Iligan Corridor. The city is also home to Lumbia Airport and the largest government port in Mindanao. Known for its warm people and old-fashioned hospitality, Cagayan de Oro is lined with lush greens like the local Kolambagohan Tree. This tree bears a heart-shaped leaf that is unique to the city.

As I have said Philippines offers world class beaches. And fortunately, Puerto Galera is of these. Puerto Galera is located in Northern part of Mindoro islands. It's about 130 kl from Manila and 14 NM from Batangas. Getting there is cheaper than going to Boracay especially for those who are from Manila.
Puerto Galera offers many sports such as, scuba-diving, swimming, snorkeling, boating, sailing, kayaking, surfing and fishing.
Getting to Puerto Galera from Manila you can get a bus to the Port of Batangas about 3-4 hours. From the Port of Batangas, the easiest way to puerto Galera is to take a "banca" ride.
"Another way to get to Puerto Gallera is to catch a bus leaving everyday at the City State Tower Hotel in Ermita, Manila (tel. # 0917 694 6918) the bus takes you to the Port of Batangas where a catamaran “Si-Kat” waits to ferry passengers to Puerto Gallera.
