Filipinos need not look far when booking that much-deserved trip, as our homeland boasts world-class local attractions. The figures show it: the Department of Tourism reported an upswing in domestic travel, with 37.27 million local trips done in 2021, a 38.6 percent increase from 2020.
Round up your family and friends and discover these must-see local attractions and wonders you haven’t experienced before:
Asik-Asik Falls, Alamada, Cotabato.
If you’d love to see pristine waters gushing down an entirely green mountainside, this is the best new place to go. Asik-Asik, or “sprinkle-sprinkle” in Hiligaynon, is the name given to this newly discovered oasis in North Cotabato. The lush greenery covering the ravine adds mystery to the water’s source, which most likely springs deep inside the mountain or a subsurface river.
Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.
From North Cotabato to the South, this place dubbed “The Land of the Dreamweavers” is worth a spot on your travel list. Lake Sebu has earned a reputation as one of the Philippines’ must-see destinations due to its breathtaking scenery, lovely people, a rich culture deeply ingrained in its heritage, and enticing wanderings providing a one-of-a-kind taste of Filipino culture. You can go on a canoe-ride tour on the three majestic lakes, experience waterfall-hopping, ride a zipline, immerse yourself in the culture of the T’boli and Ubo tribes by seeing the T’boli museum and the Grand T’nalak Weaving Center, and a lot more.
Biak na Bato National Park, Bulacan.
For adventure-seekers, this protected park in San Miguel, Bulacan, is ideal, as it offers pleasant hiking trails, waterfalls, and hundreds of caves to explore. Being in the Sierra Madre Mountain range, there is plenty of lush forests to enjoy. During the tour, you get to know about the history of the place, plus you can also spelunk in the caves and set a picnic by the Madlum river, where you can also take a dip in the waters.
Bituin Cove, Batangas.
If glamping is your go-to activity, this serene pocket of a beach in Nasugbu, Batangas, is the place to be. Only three hours away from Manila, this cove offers a peaceful and budget-friendly getaway where you can indulge in the clean sand, snorkel, or simply gaze at the stars from the comfort of your tent.
