great beach like boracay, you will like it here.
How about Philippines?
It sounds great, but getting there is so expensive!
It is not that expensive here especially in Boracay beach here in the Philippines. The food were great, the filipinos were hospitable and the ambience is really cool, a lot of visitors are coming from different countries like U.S., Europe. Koreans, Japanese. If you are there in Boracay you can see many nationalities which are having fun the heat of the sun and the cool breeze of the air in the beach. I just remembered my moment when I was there. We are having so much fun. Hope I can go back there a soon as possible, but for now, i need to make some savings for the trip.

Can you describe where that beach is compared to Manila, Subic City, Olongapo or even the Muslim rebels?
It can't be compared because it's way to far. The beaches in manila if you rate it from 1-10 it's just 8 but in boracay you could rate the beach to 10, also here in cebu which is my home town I can rate the beaches here from 8-9, you can stay in 5 star hotel like Shangrila Mactan or Hilton Hotel.
Oh forgot to answer about the muslim rebel. actually that really far away places like in zamboanga. in Boracay or in Cebu it's just a quite place where you can have a peace of mind while you in the vacation.
Boracay is very, very beautiful, if your thinking about expenses for the trip to boracay, there are many alternatives to be found there, the island has some cheaper alternatives to the expensive restaurants and hotels found in the beachside. for example, some canteens that also serve quality food can be found in their marketplace which is called "talipapa", while some bungalow houses can also be rented for a fraction of the hotel prices which can be found in backalleys which are also safe. As for Muslim rebels, there aren't any muslim rebels in boracay because the place they are based in is quite far from the island paradise.
Never been there.

Cool
Philippines is blessed with beautiful and splendid beaches and lakes.
If you intend to visit and discover the Philippines, find a Filipino in your area and develop friendship. Filipinos loved to have friends and acquaintances and who knows, he or she may invite to you to visit the place and get free accommodations. They are natural and born hospitable.
Filipino are lovable and smiling people. Love to entertain and play host. Discover Philippines and enjoy a memorable and wonderful experience.

i love the phillipines.
it's so hot there tho'.

Some parts of Boracay beach has been destroyed due to typhoon Frank. I just hope it will regain back the beauty of the beach...
If planning to visit the Philippines, try discovering education while enjoying the sun and beaches. Korean and Japanese are making good in their English while having fun on so many tourist spots in the country.
The plane tickets there are expensive for North Americans and Europeans, but the prices in the country are generally very cheap except in Manila. So if you go there, you should leave Manila and go to one of the smaller cities/beach resorts/towns. It will be a much more enjoyable experience for you.
The people there are very friendly, but then again I am biased since I will soon be marrying someone originally from the Philippines.

Exactly! Filipinos are born to be hospitable people...try to visit Philippines, you will know how true it is...you will never waste your money...im pretty sure you will love to come back again once you stepped down from the plane and see our beautiful white sand beaches like Boracay!

Boracay is located somewhere in the center of the Philippine archipelago, far from Manila and Subic and people in Boracay doesn't even care about Muslim rebels, that part of the Philippines is soooooo far away.
But you don't wanna go to Boracay, it's too full of tourists and the water is full shit, real shit like e.coli. Check out Palawan instead. But it was there that some tourists were snatched by a local variety of the al qaeda network. The possibility of it occurring again si not probable but adds to the excitement.
BTW, Filipinos were not born hospitable. Our history is too full of wars, war-like tribes, and head hunters for us to ever carry any hospitable genes. And don't forget the Muslim and Communist rebels. But we've been trained to be hospitable since the 1900's and it seems to be working well.
Manila is a crowded city but provide excitement and adventure for tourist. If you choose a good guide, chances are you will discover bargain shop and very good entertainment at down to earth price.
Discover now!
Discover now!
i loved boracay. the sand was white the water, clear blue, you can get a massage on the beach they have a lot of different activities for you it was incredible. the only negative thing i can say was all the food was cooked in cocanut oil and i hate cocanuts

Indeed.It is...you should visit our very own country.You will be surprised with our pride which are beautiful tourists spots and white sand beaches here in the Philippines.

You never should miss Boracay when travelling to Philippines. You will see the Boracay sand that you have never seen from other beaches in the world. Boracay has a large stretch of white sand which is very cool even on a hot summer.
You should also try going to Palawan. I've been there for vacation last week and it was worth the visit.
The Underground River is amazing! No wonder it's number one in the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
Also, an island tour in El Nido is refreshing. You get to visit different islands in El Nido and discover nature's hidden beauty. It was just wonderful. You'll be surprised because these islands have hidden beaches and lagoons! From afar you'll think that the island is just a stockpile of stones, but the real beauty of nature can be found "literally" inside.
There was also this really small white sand beach located in the middle of the sea. It's enough to fit about 10-15 people standing on that really small beach. Palawan is really worth the visit! It's the Philippine's last frontier, as they call it.

there's so many beaches around philippines. Boracay, Puerto Gallera, El Nido.. etc.. with the people's hospitality and warm welcome, you'll have no regrets. 
Is there any water transport from Sabah, Malaysia to Philippines?
Yeah try visiting philippines not only boracay its not the only tourist spot in phil
i think there's no boat from malaysia to philippines....
use the plane 
I love their range of fruits there and you definitely sweat alot when you're there. Good for the skin?
I'm Filipino, and I am born and raised in America, with a handful of visits to my parents' homeland. I love it there, I have not been to Boracay yet, but I've been to Subic Bay, which is mediocre but still awesome being on vacation in a different country. I just love acculturation
I hate everything about Manila, Subic, and some of the other overpopulated areas in Luzon.
Go to Boracay and you'll forget about ever having any memories of Subic Bay.
