¶ 01 · The stops, in order

Where this route actually goes.

Each stop earns its nights. The quiz decides how long you stay in each, and whether a stop drops off entirely because it is not you.

Stop 01 · about 2 nights

Manila

The arrival city and the plain behind it: four airport terminals, the walled Spanish streets of Intramuros, glass towers at Makati and BGC, and two hours north an ash plain leading to a turquoise crater lake on Mount Pinatubo.

Vigan empanada

Orange rice flour pastry, deep fried to order, filled with Vigan longganisa, shredded green papaya and a whole egg cracked in before it is folded. Eaten standing at the stall, dipped in sukang Iloko cane vinegar.

¶ 03 · How it becomes yours

The route is the spine. You are the trip.

Five short questions, about three minutes. The plan starts from this route and a library of Philippines trips we have tested, then reshapes the nights, the food and the days to your pace and budget.

No sponsored stops, no filler days. If a place stays on your plan, it earned the spot.
