I've a few beaches, since I helped a friend of mine B de V. write Philippine vacations. We took her all over Easter Southern Mindanao. Some really great beaches we saw include
Glan in Sarangani Bay , Gen San Area, really truly fine,
Pujada Island in Mati, Davao Oriental,
Dapa, Siargao Surigao

She also said the closest beach in quality to Boracay was in Catanduanes.

By the way, why don't you just put the various categories and the people here can name their top seven , so you can get a feel for the forumers preference,

mhe-ann · January 28th, 2005, 07:58 AM

Taal Volcano.
