I've traveled around the Philippines and seen some of the country's most beautiful beaches. Some have fine, white sand while others are golden brown. Some of these places can rival beaches found in other countries.

By Joshua Berida On October 06, 2019 In where to stay in Siargao

Siargao has turned into an all-around destination since the first time I went in 2013. A lot has changed (as always with development, a mixed bag of good and bad) when I returned. However, I still enjoyed my visit.

Top Destinations in the Philippines for First Timers

By Joshua Berida On June 15, 2017 In what to do in the Philippines

The Philippines has many destinations from Luzon to Mindanao that will keep visitors coming back for more. Beaches with fine, bone, white sand and glistening cerulean waters, an underwater ecosystem with colorful corals in various shapes, cities with a mix of eastern and western culture and a mountainous region that has verdant, rolling hills. You have several options when you decide to visit and explore the country.

This is a condensed list of the places you can visit and things you can do while in the Philippines.

Itinerary & Expenses: Siargao, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte & Butuan Trip

By Joshua Berida On August 01, 2014 In Surigao del Norte

I spent around a week exploring parts of Agusan del Norte, Surigao del Norte, and Dinagat Islands. It has been a wonderful experience discovering what these provinces had to offer. Most of the beaches and places I've been to are local secrets and have yet to be tainted with tourism because of its relatively remote location and lack of development. But these places' natural and raw beauty are their greatest strength.

Island Hopping Siargao Style

By Joshua Berida On July 28, 2014 In Surigao del Norte

I knew that Siargao was a surfer's haven because of Cloud 9, but for a non-surfer like me, I wanted to do something else. I ended up island hopping to Naked, Daku, and Guyam Island.

I found a boatman willing to take me to the three islands for P800, we agreed on the time and length of the trip for the next day.

Siargao Chronicles: Magpupungko Rock Pool & General Luna

By Joshua Berida On July 21, 2014 In Surigao del Norte

During my trip to Surigao del Norte, I decided to visit Siargao just off the coast of Surigao City and is a 3-hour ferry ride away. I've heard rave reviews about Siargao and wanted to find out if any of those reviews were indeed true. The main reason why I decided to go to Siargao in the first place was to see the stingless jellyfish. I found myself in Socorro, the nearest town to Sohoton National Park, but still couldn't find anybody to come with me. I decided to do something else because it was way to expensive for a solo traveler.
