Many people prefer to go to the Philippines to visit the fascinating tourist spots that can be found in the provinces of the Philippines. Some of the tourist spots are made naturally like the Mayon Volcano in Albay and the Chocolate Hills in Bohol while other tourist spots are man-made like the Man-Made Forest in Bohol and the Mirror of the World in Sikatuna, Bohol. Many foreigners come to the Philippines to see the eye-catching tourist spots that can be found in any province in the Philippines. The tourist spots are conserved by the government and the people living in the Philippines to help the Philippines in many ways.

Boracay is a small island in the Central Philippines specifically in Aklan. It is popular for its resorts and the white-sand beaches. Boracay is an island surrounded by amazing white-sand beaches and the clear blue waters. In October 2018, there are new rules and regulations in Boracay and a limit to the number of tourists  allowed to have a tour in Boracay.

   The next tourist spot is the Chocolate Hills. The Chocolate Hills are located in the Central Philippines specifically in Carmen, Bohol. The Chocolate Hills is a group of hills located in the middle of Bohol. It is known that the minimum number of hills that can be found in Carmen, Bohol are 1,268 hills. The hills are not that huge; the highest one measures 120 meters in height. At the end of the dry season, these hills turn brown hence, its name. At the rainy season, these hills turn green like other hills. The Chocolate Hills can be visited anytime of the year, both in the dry and the rainy season.

   The next tourist destination is the Coron Island. The Coron Island is the third largest island in the Calamian Islands in Northern Palawan. It is ab 170 nautical miles southwest of Manila and is known for several Japanese shipwrecks of World War II vintage. Because of its amazing features, the entire area is mostly visited by tourists and protected by several proclamations. The island and surrounding fishing grounds are part of the ancestral domain of the indigenous people.

   Siargao Island contains the largest mangrove forest reserves in Mindanao, at Del Carmen. Long stretches of wetlands indicate a potential for commercial seaweed propagation. Siargao Island is greatly influenced by the winds and currents coming uninterrupted from the Pacific Ocean, intensified by the Mindanao current running westward through the Siargao Strait.

Offshore, a classic tropical island lies protected within its surrounding coral reef with dozens of coconut palms dressed in the center circle of the island. Off to the right, well within the massive coastal reef, lies a shining white sand bar, (Pansukian, or Naked island) some 200 meters long. The tide of Siargao is diurnal with tidal curves typically present, especially on the east coast of the island.

The island's Pacific-facing reefs are situated on the edge of the Philippine Trench, and the extremely deep offshore waters assure the ocean swells have undiluted power when they encounter the many coral and rock reefs. Siargao has excellent surfing conditions, particularly during the southwest "habagat" monsoon from August to November, when the  is offshore.
