If you do come here -- I suggest going to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batanes" rel="nofollow">Batanes</a> -- it's the northernmost part of the Philippines -- zero crime rate and close to untouched. Many foreigners come to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boracay" rel="nofollow">Boracay</a> for it's white sand beach but it's highly commercialized. You could also visit <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palawan" rel="nofollow">Palawan</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohol" rel="nofollow">Bohol</a>. There are good places in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindanao" rel="nofollow">Mindanao</a> but it is dangerous to go there. The government have problems with armed militants in the area.<br /><br />As for Cebu -- Where I am from. It's a metropolitan. Nothing much to do here. Magellan's Cross is in Cebu. Commercial resorts like Hilton and foreign retiree houses. <br /><br />It won't be that difficult to go around the Philippines. We speak English but some tend to shy away from foreigners.carlnoreply@blogger.com
