Chie Filomeno
"My favorite summer destination is Siargao not just because of its beautiful beaches, nice surfing spots, and delicious foods but also because of its people. Siargao feels like home to me because of its people. They treat me as their own. That’s why when I have time, I visit Siargao. Siargao gives you that feeling of being free and living like the locals. Enjoying the island life," Chie says. As for her dream summer destinations, she cited Amanpulo and Balesin.

Charlie Dizon
"My favorite summer destination is our home in Pansipit, Batangas. One of the main reasons why I love going there is the river is just beside my grandmom's house, the Pansipit river, where we used to swim when we were young. I love the calmness of the river, and I love how it brings back a lot of good memories," Charlie shares. She also says that Maldives tops her travel bucket list.

Ria says, "My favorite summer destination is Siargao. I fell in love with it when I first went there for my best friend’s buddymoon. I love the vibe, the people, the sights to see and all the activities you can do. It’s a different world there and I love that you’re able to detach when you’re there." As for her dream summer destination, she still wants to explore more of the Philippines' best beaches, like Caramoan. "I've been wanting to go for ages," she quips.
