First family trip to the Philippines, any tips?

Hi there, Not knowing the Philippines at all, I’d like to plan a trip for February 2026—three weeks, 5 adults, 1 five-year-old, and a 16-month-old. What would you recommend? Thanks

Hi Michel, You remind me of an Asian traveler who’d say, "I’m going to France soon—what do you recommend?" 😄. The Philippines is huge, and there are *so* many places "to see." So to start, the best thing is to grab a paper guidebook to see what appeals to you most and fits your family plans best. Christelle

Hi there,

Once you’ve checked out some guides like Solene suggested, you can also add more details to your question—like what time of year you’re planning to go. Lots of local libraries or media centers have a "travel" section where you can borrow guides, which can give you some initial ideas even if they’re not the latest edition.
