Pangasinan
Romulo Island located near Braganza Island of Hundred Islands National Park, Pangasinan, Philippines.  Perfect for island-to-island activities. It has good white sand beach where one can take advantage of the sun and the breeze, with a little surprise at low tide. Its morning rock shade becomes a small cave once the tide drops. You can take a little dip or just simply stun your pals by striking model-like pose in the cave. Source:Hundredislands.ph

Molo
The Rosendo Mejica Museum is a wonderful gem of a small museum. It's easy to find at 251 Lopez Jaena Street in the Baluarte district of Molo, Iloilo City. What's special about this museum is that it is so genuine and uncontrived. It's not a grand, pretentious, off-putting hulk, but is rather the modest residence of a an important citizen. It therefore gives an authentic-feeling experience of life in turn-of-the-century Iloilo. The museum still owned by the same family after a stint as a government-run historic landmark. Evidently the government did not have the resources to maintain the place so it was returned to the family.  Rosendo Mejica was a Ilonggo of many accomplishments. He translated Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo from Spanish to Visayan. He founded and built the first public elementary school in the Philippines in 1905 in Baluarte, Molo. He was a newspaperman, printer and an individual engaged in every imaginable civic improvement effort.The museum appears to be entirely original; the building itself, the furniture and other furnishings, clothing and the extensive papers and other collections of Mejica. You may also want to check out more old houses in Molo. Source:Robert Hammerslag

Baler
Sabang Beach is located in Barangay Sabang, Baler, Aurora, Philippines.  From March through June, the waves are relatively calm providing a good beachfront for swimmers and an excellent challenge for expert windsurfers. The months from October to February bring in the large waves for beginner surfers to learn the basics with relative safety from scratches, since most of the beach is sandy- bottomed. Undertows, which are helpful to surfers and dangerous for non-swimmers, do occur in certain areas.   The most popular surfing point is found right in front of Bay's Inn, where beginners brave the moderate waves and regular surfers practice. Lindy's Point, found further north along Sabang Beach, is a highly-prized secret spot among local surfers.  Source:Discover Aurora Philippines

Batanes
Sabtang Island is loctaed in Batanes, Bataan, Philippines. Though the province of Batanes makes one feel that he has left the rest of the world behind, Sabtang Island, north of Basco, further increases the feeling. The lifestyle is more laid back and traditional, and the scenery is more beautiful, with the island's limestone-house villages, rocky coastlines and small beaches. Source:Wikipilipinas.org
