25 emerging Philippine tourism hot spots named
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY. Cagayan de
Oro is famous not only for its white rapids but also for its people.
Cagayan de Oro may very well be the happiest place in the country. The
“City of Golden Friendship,” as it is sometimes called, is home to
especially friendly and warm Filipinos. Their ready smiles are a fitting
welcome, with Cagayan de Oro’s accessible location also making it the
“Gateway to Northern Mindanao.” (Photo and caption from philippinegems.com)
CALAGUAS ISLAND. The Calaguas
Islands are located in the Municipality of Vinzons, in the Province of
Camarines Norte. It is known for its pristine beaches—the most popular
among these is the Mahabang Buhangin beach, which is made up of a long
stretch of powdery white sand. (Photo and caption from philippinegems.com)
CAMIGUIN ISLAND. Camiguin is the
country’s second-smallest province. In spite of this, the island packs
quite a punch. It has three mountains, three hot springs, two
waterfalls, and one active volcano. It even has an underwater cemetery,
which has been featured in TV programs both here and abroad. (Photo and

CAMOTES ISLAND. The Camotes
Islands are located in the Camotes Sea, off the coast of the Province of
Cebu. It is known for its crystal clear waters, extremely fine white
sand, and the spectacular view of sunset that it offers. It even has a
place in Philippine history-- Antonio Pigafetta, one of survivors of the
Battle of Mactan, stayed there for several days before going to Cebu.

CARAMOAN ISLANDS. The Caramoan
islands stem from the rugged Caramoan Peninsula, which is located in the
province of Camarines Sur. The islands, however, are isolated from the
main province. This makes it perfect for island hopping, hiking, diving,
and even spelunking. The unexploited and uninhabited islands of
Caramoan have been featured in several franchises of the hit TV show
Survivor. (Photo and caption from philippinegems.com)
