The Balanced View - What is requires is a balanced view. One cannot overlook the continuing NPA problem and the journalist killings any more than one can overlook the hospitality of the common Filipino.

good to know - I arrive in ph with no surf board and i didn t find any surf shop in manilia so i have been in the surf resort of san juan and there is a small surf shop inside.Waves in san juan are good ,the water is clear and there are few bars for nightlife a litle exentred fom the center of san fernando. I have been after to Vigan and laoag but the cities are quite far from the beech and there is no accomodation exept in the city.I didn't see anny waves but Vigan is nice to visit.I found a nice beach break in Claveria in the top north in a fishing village with a very nice land scape but nothing to do if no surf but there are hotels. I finished my trip in baler and I had 10 days of good waves:the beech break is good on the morning and cemento is very good but for good surfers.

actually... - The hype about terrorism really is overrated. I used to live on the North Coast of Luzon Island (Buguey, Cagayan valley), and while there are no surf resorts or shops or anything, I can remember several offshore days that were head high with nice barrels during May and early June. That's when one of the rainy seasons is and you may have to deal with the occasional baguio and lack of electricity. I've never been to Baguio's coast but I hear they've got good stuff there during the summer. If I'm not mistaken, siargao is more of a december destination (but I could easily be wrong). Nonetheless, don't sweat the terrorism. Filipinos are extremely hospitable as long as you show a little respect. A lot of the stuff posted here about "guns" and "dengue fever" just aren't true.
