Most underrated area of the Philippines (safer, place, time, areas)

[ejay1]

Mindanao and Western Visayas

both places are off the beaten path...I hardly see any tourists in those areas

I think both places are areas with much potential

But maybe the allure of those places is probably because there are no tourists

^Palawan Island is not underrated in fact it is one of the most tourist spot in Mindanao. There are certain areas in Mindanao that is not easy to get in.

I think your place is not underrated in Western Visayas. Mindanao there are some places that is not that easy to get in & you know that. Davao City, I guess is not underrated as well as Zamboanga.

actually my place is Sibalom, Antique as well...and that place is really underrated

alot of places in the Philippines is not easy to get to.....to get to san jose antique you have to drive through a mountain pass...during the rainy season its impossible to get there due to land slides

I thought Eastern Visayas is more underrated. ARMM is also lacking of tourists too, but mainly due to political instability.

eastern visayas is underrated too

ARMM is mindanao..I already stated that

Mindanao actually has the nature thing going for it....only place to see philippine eagles

and bunawan marsh is home to giant crocodiles

The Philppines in general is underrated. Indonesia too.

I've been to Iloilo twice. The first time because I'd never been there, and the second time because I was passing through once again. On the second visit, I wondered why I'd ever bothered.

There really isn't a reason to visit Iloilo. I definitely wouldn't say it's underrated. Korean students go there because they like malls and its a bit safer to study English there than a city like Manila.

Iloilo is known for its old Spanish churches and buildings, one of them being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But if you're not an architecture and history person, I guess you'll not enjoy it there.
