It's good to know that there's a direct trip from Manila to Sagada. It would make travel less-hasle.

Short weekend getaway in Samal Island

Samal island is one of the favorite tourist attractions in the Philippines. I have known since I was a kid that Davao City takes it pride in producing durian fruits and candies. Francisco Bangoy International Airport is domestically accessible within key cities of Manila, Clark, Palawan, Caticlan, Iloilo, Cebu, Bacolod or Zamboanga.  Davao City is the safest metropolis in the country and the gateway to other beautiful destinations in the land of promise.

You can also visit People's park and the Davao City Museum.  Herel

I care about my mental health so I am taking it into consideration living in one of the municipalities of South Cebu cause I get close to nature.
