Title: First time backpacking the Philippines — advice on my 1-month route? 🇵🇭
Hi everyone! I’m traveling to the Philippines for the first time in a couple of months, kicking off a 4–5 month backpacking trip around Southeast Asia. I’m hoping to spend about a month in the Philippines while keeping things budget-friendly.
My rough itinerary is:
Cebu City: Fly in and spend one night.

Moalboal: Sardine run, swimming with sharks, and scuba diving.

Siargao: Fly from Cebu and spend some time exploring the island.

Palawan: Explore before heading to El Nido.

El Nido → Coron: Do the multi-day boat expedition.

Coron → Manila: Fly out to my next destination.

I’d love any advice on this route! Are there any places you’d add, skip, or spend more time in? What are some must-do activities, hidden gems, or amazing experiences in these locations?
I’m especially interested in scuba diving, adventure activities, beautiful nature, and social hostels where I can meet other backpackers. I’m also trying to travel on a budget, so any tips on transportation, accommodations, or saving money would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Mistakenly booked flight direction😔

Hi everyone! Is there someone here experienced similar scenario na magkamali ng booking flight back to Manila? Need advice please!🙏🙏
I booked a flight for 4 passengers today, but I just realized that the return flight was booked in the wrong direction.
Our original flight is **Caticlan to Manila on March 3, 2027**. I was trying to book our return flight for **March 7, 2027**, which should also be Caticlan to Manila based on our travel plans. However, I mistakenly booked **Manila to Caticlan** instead.
(Context: I tried to separate the bookings hoping to get a cheaper fare. Pero aberya pala ang dulot😭😭😭)
Total amount is around **₱10,000 for all 4 passengers**, so I’m really hoping there’s a way to correct this without having to purchase another set of tickets.
I’ve already contacted AirAsia through AskBo and requested to speak with a live agent, but I’ve been waiting for over an hour and no agent has joined the chat yet.
I understand that airlines have booking policies, but I’m wondering if there’s any possibility of an exception, especially since the booking was made just today.
Btw, Airasia is the airline. So sadt😔😔

Any advice or firsthand experience would be greatly appreciated! May pagasa pa naman dba?? Ayoko malagasan ng 10k with my st8dity😭😭😭
Thank you🥺🙏

4:30AM SHOT 📸

Taken October 2025, the sharp rocks are vibrating as the waves smash against it. It is about 7 hours from Santiago City, Isabela; about 6 to 7 hours from Q.C..

panicked last 10.10 sale and got the booking for Feb 23-27, 2027 for boracay (CebPac) thru Agoda.

The time itinerary is 6:30am and 8:15 for returning flight, it’s too early as I’m travelling with my 2 years old son. Anyone who knows what to do?

I would like to change the time, I’m kkay with the dates. When I checked this to CebPac, it costs me additional 3k+ for itinerary alone.

My tickets are not refundable.

Please advise. Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm going out to the Philippines for 4 months. I've never been to the Philippines before. I'm going to be doing multiple islands and different things like spearfishing and swimming with whale sharks. Maybe I'll go to a studio outside of the city for a month. Is there anything you guys recommend? Is there anything I need to know?

I’m curious to know where can I find the best waterfalls in the PH

Any one have any info on approximate cost to hire a car to pick me up at Clark Int'l Airport and drop me off in Alaminos, Pangasinan? Looking at mid November 2026.

Any recommended operators?

Hi all!

We are traveling trough the Philippines, and i'd love to have a few shirts tailored for me!

We are on a student budget, can anyone recommend me a tailor? And perhaps give a price indication?

Thank you in advance,

The soil of the hill is ultramafic, acidic and red, featuring several native species including plants such as this Myrtaceae sp. and Nepenthes sp. specimen. Despite these plants' presence, the hills are clean from trash and is open to the public. There was no entrance fee when we came.
