Places : Coron,Palawan

There are a lot of beautiful places in the Philippine archipelago but once you get to see the town of Coron in Northern Palawan, there's a chance that many of the places you had been to and considered beautiful before may become ordinary. The town of  Coron occupies a bigger part of Busuanga Island, the whole of Coron Island and some smaller islands. The Coron island itself is quite awesome for its small size. Imagine a very pristine lake with emerald waters within the small island, and towering rock formations around the island similar to that of Halong Bay,Vietnam on a smaller scale.If there are other places in the country that would be on a par with it, that would be El Nido, which is also in Northern Palawan and Caramoan in Camarines Sur.

Although Boracay is a "must visit" island because of its extraordinary beaches and fine white sands, it doesn't compare to the magnificent landscape of Coron. 
Indeed, the Philippines is blessed with the most beautiful islands. 

Here are some pictures of Coron Island :
