Visited Sarangani on three occassions. I have not seen any good tourist spot in the area.

BPI and BDO really lousy banks. The lines are so long yet only 2 counters are open. Bank staffs are unfriendly. A simple and single transaction can take 2 hours of senseless wait. They want your money but cant provide the service and respect.

Manila to ilocos norte to Pagudpod.. plenty of places to dine and site seeing.

Kingscourt Hotel... Value for money and clean. The place has two entrances... one is a drive thru for its motel guest... the hotel guest entrance is along the highway.

Needs renovation. The place looks old. For the rate Marco Polo is charging, I would rather stay at the newer Park Inn beside Sm Lanang or Seda Hotel beside Ayala Abreeza Mall.

I normally visit Puerto Galera on a Monday or a Tuesday to truly enjoy the surrounding nature less the huge crowd.

But if you are the type who prefers beach parties and events, then do visit on a weekened.

Just for kicks, I recently stayed at the "Road Haus Hotel" or otherwise known as the "Manny Pacquiao Hotel".

There are hardly any guest, I estimate a 3% - 5% occupancy rate.

Compared to other major hotels, the location is quite a distant from the commercial area,

room rates is kinda pricey given that its has no premium to offer except that the establishment bears

the name of the famous boxer.

Breakfast served was terrible.

Davao Oriental is promoting Dahican Beach as the Boracay of Mindanao... I've visited the place last week... There are no good resorts, for small nipa hut cottages without toilet the rate is around P2.5k per night, there are also no places to dine. There are hardly any public transportation so its easy to get stranded.

The new Bohol airport will be constructed very soon at Panglao island. The governement has expanded the old bridge connecting Tagbilaran and Panglao and a second bridge was also built.

They have 2 restaurants inside the resort. The Filipino restaurant is open 7 days a week while the italian restaurant is open only during weekends for lunch only until 2pm.

The Red Planet Hotel... Located along JP Laurel Street. Its very near Sm Lanang and Ayala Abreeza. Room rates is around P1.6k per night. Very Clean and value for money.
