Iloilo
Kusina Tsina is Iloilo's answer to pricey Chinese restaurants. Kusina Tsina serves authentic Chinese food at a very affordable price. The restaurants menu includes dimsum, noodles, rice toppings, and other Chinese items. New items are not on the menu so it pays to ask the waitress for new items. The restaurant's name means chinese kitchen, the restaurant itself looks and has the feel of being in a Chinese kitchen or extension of it. The restaurant lacks the fancy décor that most Chinese restaurants have. It offers good ol' Chinese food. Though the area of the restaurant is small and gets a bit cramped when the crowd starts to gather, the quality and the authenticity of the food makes up for it.

Cotabato City
The Kutawato Caves are the only caves in the country located right in the heart of the city. Its various entrances are all within city traffic. The name given to the caves is the origin of the city's present name, Cotabato. Kuta means "fort" and Wato means "stone", hence the name "Fort of Stone". The term Kutawato eventually became "Cotabato". Its walls of white, beige and brownish shade glitters in the dark and echoes a colorful past dating back to the days when no foreign foot yet trampled upon its land. The caves had given sanctuary to the natives when the Spaniards tried to convert them into the Castillan Faith. The caves also served the same purpose when the Filipino guerillas fought the invading force of the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War. When the Japanese firepower proved superior to that of the natives, the caves were then used as an armory and even as a garrison. HOW TO GET THERE The caves can be reached via the four entrances; the Provincial Capitol Cave, Bagua Cave, Caverna Español and the Kuweba ni Satur. Source:RDC XII Official Website
Pagbilao
Kwebang Lampas is located in Pagbilao, Quezon, Philippines. The place derived its name from a rock formation which forms part of a cove in Brgy. Ibabang Polo in the southern part of Pagbilao Grande Island. Continuing wave action has sculpted the rock into a lovely and unique cave. The beach is bounded by the property of Lu kang, an old time chinese. Some locals call the place by that name. Lu kang's caretakers charge Php10.00 per head for keeping the place trash free. Three-walled cottages may be rented from Php200 to 400. A simpler way known to outsiders is to hire a boat from Brgy. Bantigue. But there is a way of reaching the place via dry land: From Pagbilao, just follow the National Highway going to Atimonan. The first Y-junction, a few hundred meters after KM 146 and just infront of Binahaan Elementary School, is the access road to Mirant Pagbilao Coal-fired Power Plant (an Independent Power Producer).

Since August 2005, the La Mesa Watershed Resort and Ecological Park in East Fairview has been the one-stop destination for all. Quezon City residents and non-residents alike have been flocking to the park to commune with nature without actually going out of town. Anyone with at least a hundred bucks can go there on a whim. Although Fairview is often regarded as being on the fringes of the city, it’s still relatively close. From Makati, going there would take an hour at least on a good day. Once on Commonwealth Avenue, it’s pretty hard to picture how a natural enclave can sit in the middle of all the smog, traffic, and crowded streets. Past the imposing Sandiganbayan building, the reek around Manggahan, and the squatters on Riverside, unpolluted and breathable air would be most welcome. How to get there Take Commonwealth Avenue towards Fairview. You will be passing the following landmarks: UP Diliman, Iglesia ni Cristo Templo Central, Ever Gotesco, Sandiganbayan, Litex, Mercury Drugstore. Turn right at East Fairview Subdivision’s Winston St. then right at Marlboro St. all the way to Pall Mall St. where you should turn left. Turn right at the first corner. You will enter the La Mesa Dam Guard House. There is only one road to take then turn left to the parking lot, in front of which is the gate to the park. The lagoon is further down the path. For commuters, take a Fairview-bound FX, bus, or jeepney from Philcoa by the entrance to the University of the Philippines. Take note of the abovementioned landmarks and get off at the East Fairview Subdivision. At the gate, you should find plenty of tricycles that can take you to the Eco Park. For more info, click HERE.
