I've been to Kalibo, as it is a gateway to the beautiful beaches of Boracay.
I've been to Puerto Prinsesa, and have visited the Subterranean River (one of the new 7 wonders of the world) located there.

I've been to Sagada, and had a blast navigating through its burial caves - 7 hours, in fact.
I've been to Angeles - the city has some of the best local food in the country. Try the sisig, or fried ground pork head. Tastier than it sounds.

There's also a Cagayan (province) in the north... and a Cagayan de Oro city in the south And I have been to Vigan, just for a day. I wouldn't mind going back, as the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with old Spanish houses. I've been to Legazpi as well, to visit the almost perfectly cone-shaped Mayon Volcano. I've also been to Naga, it was our gateway to the Bicol region. The food is spicy and hearty, and I had a blast wakeboarding.

Are you Filipino, Novelty? you sure know a lot about the country!
I've been to Iloilo, and you're right about the "funnyness" since they have their own dialect that's pretty hard to follow. The seafood is inexpensive and GREAT.
I've been to Bacolod, known countrywide for its amazing BBQed chicken. The people there also have their own language and they have this very gentle, lulling way of talking.

Been there as well. There's a great church just outisde the city, in Paoay. Other popular destinations are the ones related to former President Marcos - including a mansion by a lake, his preserved body(!) and the hotel called Fort Ilocandia.

I've been to Baguio. My family used to go there every year for the cool weather (sadly, it will never be cold enough to snow in the Philippines, but cold is relative for us - anything below 15 degrees is quite chilly). I always loved picking pine cones, blowing on dandelions, hiking, eating strawberries and roasting hotdogs in the fireplace.
I've been to Cebu, a couple of times on vacation, once on a week-long activity where we built houses for Gawad Kalinga, and once on business. They have great food too!
Novelty has it, as I have never been to Davao. Hoping to go next year.
Over to you Novelty!

No worries, Novelty  Not soon, but definitely on my bucket list. And can I just say I am ENVIOUS of all the places you've been... I want to go to all of those! Mind if I ask, how long did it take you to get to all those? I feel like it's taking me forever to travel... Mostly because of my family and their restrictions. Don't get me wrong, they've brought me to a lot of places but I hate not being able to go when I please... Blaze, on the other hand, has no such restrictions and has been to like 5 countries in 2 years.
