Try some of the local food
Be ready to put on a few extra pounds as you satisfy your cravings by indulging in a Filipino feast. Dishes to try: Lechon, spit-roast whole pig served with liver sauce; Adobo, pork, chicken or a combination of both, marinated in vinegar, soy sauce and garlic and stewed until tender; Kare-kare, meat and vegetables cooked with peanut sauce served with shrimp paste; Sinigang, pork, or seafood in tamarind soup; or the freshest seafoods—fish, squid, shrimp, lobsters—grilled to perfection.
The more adventurous should try Balut or boiled duck eggs containing a partially formed embryo, and Dinuguan, the pork blood stew eaten with steamed rice or Puto, rice cakes. All around the country, there are restaurants offering different cuisines from American to Chinese, from Indian to Greek, from Japanese to French
The Philippines–Asia’s Diving Capital
If you are a diving enthusiast—amateur or professional, or someone who is looking for an underwater experience of a lifetime, then you must go to the Philippines if only for the reason that the country has the highest density of coral species in the world.
Philippine seas are some of the most bio-diverse and marine-rich waters in the world and home to a diverse species of aquatic resources. Amateur divers can train and get their licenses at any of the diving training centers located in the following diving spots: Anilao, Puerto Galera and Boracay, and once done with training, they can dive side-by-side with professional divers in the country’s other must-see diving spots:
World Heritage Site – Tubbataha Reef, location of some of the best wreck-diving sites in the world and Coron, both in Palawan;
Verde Island in Mindoro Oriental;
Apo Reef National Park in Mindoro Occidental, the largest atoll-like reef in the Philippines, which includes 285 species of fish and 197 species of coral;
Apo Island Marine Reserve & Fish Sanctuary in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental;
Balicasag and Pamilacan Islands in Bohol;
and Malapascua and Moalboal/Pescador Islands in Cebu.
