We have a balikbayan relative whom my hubby has been trying to bring to places worth seeing to make his very seldom visit to the Philippines worth his time and money. So far we have brought him to popular places and he has enjoyed every bit of it. One reason for the enjoyment is the view and of course the food!

Some of the fancy places he’s seen so far:

1. Mall of Asia - The first place within Metro Manila that is always in a Balikbayan’s mind. Maybe because it’s so popular among the kababayans, its first in the list .The humongous structure is an icon in the reclaimed area. All walks of life just do their malling here.

2. Tagaytay Highlands- The high end membership only country club upland of Tagaytay. The view and the surrounding is fantastic! He was able to ride the Funicular train to go down to Midlands Country Club, and the Cable car going to the Chapel and Bell tower. Did he say the place is amazing? You bet he did!

3. Fontana Resort - In Clarkfield Pampanga. A mere one hour and half ride from Manila. The resort is beautiful with a wave pool and lots of nice sceneries.

4.Baguio City- Still an enchanting place to visit. Various places within the city that is worth seeing.

5. Isdaan- In Gerona Tarlac. The place is a gigantic restaurant full of entertainment. People of all ages will definitely enjoy the stop in this place. Great food, fascinating place and various activities to do. The koi fish in the surrounding water just can’t stop entertaining the visitors. The place is wonderful!

By plane, they also went to Cebu, Bohol, which they enjoyed a lot. Of course this is so shortlisted so maybe you can add a little more. What’s importat is we were able to share the people how beautiful truly Philipines is.
