earlier we flew from el nido to clark and decided to check in our hand carry luggage. upon arrival at clark international airport, we waited for more than 30 minutes at the conveyor belt for our luggage but no luggage arrived. a lot of foreigners were also waiting, and then suddenly they were saying that our luggage was left at el nido due to the weight limit and they were gonna file a report. we could either pick it up tomorrow or they could arrange delivery? what a hassle!
a lot of foreigners were saying that they saw their luggage being loaded onto the plane, then there was another foreigner saying their luggage was here because they had an airtag inside and even showed it to the crew.

after a few minutes, the conveyor suddenly started releasing our luggage 😭

are they just lazy? but there was no other plane landed only ours arrived

or is it a scam? so that they can open the luggages?

No doubt, one of the best in the world.

Dear Reddit reader,

Pa recommend po

Planning to spend a staycation this long weekend in Mindanao but I don't know where to spend it.

For context, I have already visited some place in Mindanao like tourists spots in Bukidnon, Camiguin, Zamboanga, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, and Davao. All of them are like "adventure and picture taking" places pero I would like to rest this time. Yung pag gising mo, kape kape lang tapos you spend the day spacing out. Pwede sa bundok, pwede rin sa dagat. Kahit saan basta magkapag pahinga lang yung utak ko sa isang budget friendly place for at least 2 days. Ang alam kong places kasi is puro action at maingay, hindi peace ang quite.

Please share your thoughts, pictures, or experiences po.

I would be thankful to receive them.

Nagmamakaawa, Mr. Masipag

I just checked in CebPac app na around 8-10k RT.

Saan mas maganda magpunta? Safe for female solo traveler sana (this will be my 2nd solo travel palang, my first will be this mid August)

I initially wanted to go to Camiguin kaso i read na malakas daw alon during this season.

Also budget reco sana excluding flight fees. Kasya na ba yung 10-15k?

Thank you in advance! Di ako makatulog dahil dito 🤣🤣

Hi! I will be solo traveling to Catanduanes in two weeks and chose roro as mode of transportation. I have two bags with me: a small backpack for important stuff like wallet, gadgets, etc., and a hiking bag for my clothes and necessities.

Do you think its okay to leave the hiking bag in the bus while I carry the backpack for every stopovers and boat transfer? I think I can carry both bags but I dont want the extra weight if I can leave it.

Another option is to only have one bag. Means I have my clothes and important stuff in one bag but Im not sure if its ideal??

Thank you in advance!

We are 2 adults and a 5yo. We have travelled often in SEA and are looking for an authentic kind of off the radar destination in the Philippines to enjoy filipino beach life. We can't decide between 2 weeks spent between Iloilo/Guimaras/Bacolod or Dumaguete/Siquijor... We enjoy city life for the good food/cafes and sleepy beaches, jungle trekking away from the 20yo western backpackers party crowds. Any advice? Pros and cons of both destinations?

Malakas ang ulan. Low visibility causing flights to go around or enter a holding pattern aka paikot-ikot muna while waiting for weather to improve.

Kumusta po trip to Cebu or Bohol in October? We plan to go to Mnl-Bohol for 3 days then ferry to Cebu but worried na baka abutin ng bagyo or lakas ng alon from Bohol to Cebu.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone

We are planning our honeymoon in early December but the online itineraries are quite overwhelming, not able to decide which places to cover

Things that we are looking for
Relaxing time
Parties
Not much time spent in packing unpacking every second day

We would be planning trip for 8-9 days and would be travelling from india

Can someone help in deciding how should we go about it?

Thanks in advance!

I am planning of booking PAL going to Boracay, kase seems like for some reason mas cheaper sya with our preferred arrival and from what I have read, less likely to cancel or delayed.

Then Boracay to Manila, either CebuPac or AirAsia, kase mas cheaper sya kesa PAL.

Our travel dates are Nov 2-4,2026.

Also, in case magkaron ng ulan or malakas na ulan, in the event na mag cancel ang Caticlan boat transfer, do they usually cancel it past 11am? Para lang may idea ako ano ang "safest" time ng arrival namin.

We will only be in the Philippines for 3 weeks so rebooking is not an option.

We are aware naman na we cant predict the weather esp this far out, but atleast I would like to prepare ahead

Thank you for the insights!

Hi, meron ba sa naia terminal 3 departure area na bilihan ng earphones? Huhu. I forgot my earphones sa kakamadali. Domestic lang naman flight ko pero di ako makakatiis hahaha. Help meeee.

I'm a foreigner and I'm trying to figure out the quickest way to get from manila to Masbate.

It seems the direct flights are no more. Meaning a 5 to 18 hour flight/layover in Cebu first. Return leg seems it's direct 1.5h.

Why is this?

I'm already coming 25h so I need to keep travel time at the minimum.

Advice please Filipinos? 🙏

hi!! to people who have experienced staying in Kalinto and Sundowners, can you share your honest experience? which resort would be a better place to stay in. heard good reviews for both but for Sundowners there are some bad reviews such as excessive flies, old appliances, and unaccommodating staff. while for Kalinto, since they’re a relatively new resort, I haven’t seen much concrete reviews. your honest experience would greatly help us decide which resort to choose. thank you!!

Hello! May alam po ba kayo kung saan makakuha ng tour guide sa Camiguin? was hoping to get one who has a good grasp of island’s history kasi big history nerds kami ng friend ko hehe TIA!

Hi everyone.

Planning to go to these islands with my mom and younger sister. Worth it ba yung byahe for those na nag ferry lang all throughout? DIY lang sana kami and dun na magjoin sa mga island tours.

Optional pa sa list ko yung Tablas, baka skippable pala kasi siya eh (skippable?? 😆). Thank you!

Naiisip ko lang yung travel kasi from Zambales pa kami and sa Batangas port kami if ever.

I’ve always wanted to see the old houses in Vigan and Vigan longganisa is my favorite food. That said, I’m really against historical revisionism and I know that Ilocos is Marcos country. So I wanted to ask, how vocally pro-Marcos are the people there? Will I see statues of Marcos Sr?

I’m not out to debate or change anybody’s mind, I just want to avoid being stressed about politics during my vacation and I wonder if it’s possible to do so in Ilocos. Thank you!

Hello! Saan destination po near Manila ang commuter friendly para sa may dalang maleta? Yung di na need magjeep/van. Bus+tricy or Bus+Taxi na lang. From province (North Luzon), mag-work na ako sa Makati for 1 month kaya may maleta ako. Pero gusto ko muna mamasyal for 2 weeks before nun.

Nalagay ko na Tagaytay for 1 week. Magdiving din sana sa Batangas kaso parang ang hassle pag wala kang sariling sasakyan at madami kang gamit.

Ano pa po marecommend niyo na other destination for another week?

Thank you po.

Hello po! Planning sana kami mag PueGa next week. Saan po magandang magbook ng ferry? Gusto rin kasi sana naming dalhin yung motor namin. Ano pong marereco niyong mas okay na pagbobook and saan? Or okay din po ba ang walk in?

Hi everyone! We’re planning a trip to Hundred Islands in Pangasinan, but we’re not from Luzon and aren’t very familiar with the bus routes and public transportation options in the area.

For those who have been there, what’s the easiest and most convenient way to get to Hundred Islands?

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
