Elect's take

"The Philippines has a natural beauty and a spirit of hospitality that is genuinely infectious. Palawan alone is one of the most beautiful places I have visited anywhere and the combination of island scenery, marine life and welcoming people creates something remarkable."

Palawan is widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful islands. The limestone karst scenery of El Nido with its lagoons, caves and pristine beaches is extraordinary. The Banaue rice terraces carved into mountains over two thousand years ago are one of Asia's most impressive examples of indigenous engineering. Siargao has developed into a world class surf destination. Manila is a complex and fascinating capital with considerable energy and outstanding food.
