Philippines is such a beautiful country. The picture-perfect sights all-over is truly awesome -- it makes you praise Him who made everything.

Manila Bay


It's cloudy, yet Manila Bay's sunset is undisputedly beautiful.

Quezon City



Believe it or not, I took this photo of a beautiful sunrise in Quezon City. This is how La Mesa Dam looks like on early mornings. Isn't it amazing?

Lagonoy, Camarines Sur


Lagonoy is one of the most remote towns in Camarines Sur. Probably one of the oldest settlement areas in the country (founded in 1600's), Lagonoy remains laid-back. Yet, it is beautiful and picture-perfect. Sadly, it was raining when we visited the town so we weren't able to see the waterfalls, the caves and the wonderful view of the ocean from a hill few kilometers away from the town.

Sta. Ana, Cagayan


This islet, really a rock formation, is called Manidad. It's just one of the many islands and islets in Sta. Ana, Cagayan. The farthest town up north in Luzon island, Sta. Ana is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in the Philippines. Here you'll see different kinds of endangered species -- from whales, to deers and boars to birds. Really worth the 14-hour drive from Manila. (Or you can take an hour plane ride to Tuguegarao and travel 3 hours by land to Sta. Ana.)
