Since she in Pampanga, try to go to Pangasinan.. There are some nice resorts in that area.. Puerto Galera is cheap as well compare to El Nido Palawan..But ElNido is a very nice place.. Check it online.. Boracay is a tourist so expect a lot of people in that area.

I will never forget BAGUIO!!! It was my fiancee's favorite among all (Subic, Pagsanjan, Boracay, Corregidor)! That's where we celebrated my birthday. We rented a cottage at Baguio Country Club, had a barbecue and told stories infront of the fireplace. NICE!!!

(We still had a romantic time eventhoug we are with the whole family. lol!)

Peak season starts in October so, December is a super peak season, expect resort rates to be expensive...low season is from June to September... Cam Sur can be an option too but have to travel by plane or an 8 hour bus ride :(...nearest tourist spot to Pampanga is Baguio if you both want to feel some cold air and keep each other warm infront of a fireplace :), if you want some water then go Boracay, Panglao Island, Puerto Galera...

hi there since your fiancee is from Pampanga you may try Grande Island in Subic (it's about 1-2 hours from Lubao, Pampanga). If you want to go further like taking a 4-5 hours trip try Bagiuo as well. I don't know what town of Pampanga she's from but if she lives near Angeles City you may want to try the restaurants there as well. Mr. Frosty is the best for me. It's an ice cream parlor but they serve meals as well. The price is reasonable and the food is so delicious. Good luck and have fun on your vacation.

You'll miss half of your life if you can't be in Boracay. :thumbs:

if a little low in budget, Puerto Galera is definitely the place. :thumbs:

If you want a little dewy,fresh, atmosphere, gotta go to Baguio.

In Bicol,there's a place we call "Caramoan" it's a place to unwind, if you think you

You would like a peaceful surrounding. White sands, Island hopping, it's not yet very known to everybody

but it's comparable to Palawan. Palawan is one too.

Here's a picture of Puerto Galera....

Stay away from Manila. It's the armpit of the Philippines. Not a good reflection of the rest of PI.

Camiguin Island is great place to visit and very cheap, and clean with clear water, no pollution.

I have made a few trips to PI, and this place stands head and shoulders above any place I have visited.
