I often say it’s difficult to leave the comforts of one’s home unless it’s for a better, more luxurious place. This philosophy is my barometer for embarking on travels here and abroad.

GREEN AND SERENE Farmer’s Table Tagaytay facade
People frequent Tagaytay for many reasons. Only an hour-and-a-half drive from Manila, the holiday town is an easier-to-visit version of Baguio City. Incredibly alike, both are surrounded by forests of pine trees and open grasslands and have this neither-too-hot-nor-too-cold weather, perfect for relaxation. The similarity between the two is so striking that Tagaytay is considered the “Second Summer Capital of the Philippines.”
Part-Cavite, part-Batangas, but really a component city in the province of Cavite, Tagaytay is also famous for its breathtaking scenery and rolling terrain. On a high altitude, it sits on a ridge, overlooking Taal Lake and its volcano island. Manila folks, like me, always look forward to a road trip to Tagaytay, which sometimes sits on a cloud of mist, like a fairy tale town.
