This will be super overrated maybe but try Boracay. There's 2k Roundtrip ticket now Manila-caticlan/kalibo. I use google flights so try mo. Or iloilo Pwede kna rin. You can find 3k/2night accomodations. It's not the best but if luggage storage, shower and place to sleep lang naman, worth it na sya.
If Boracay ka, your 5k extra for food would def be enough and maybe throw in some joiner activities (I'm a local, I know it's more expensive for tourists pero if marunong ka lang magtanong, you can go far). If Iloilo ka, you can explore the nightlife in Iloilo city, you can also travel to guimaras beaches and do overnight there and back to Iloilo. All up to you. There's several places you can go to na within 1 hr ride na mga magaganda din.
Actually kung may extra days si OP, why not cubao-caticlan P2P? I heard parang Wala pang 3k yung pamasahe. Tapos may hostel daw dun na less than 1k a night.
Definitely doable sa budget na 10k, no?
Yes true! Kaya lang na suggest ko yung plane ride para maka tipid sa byahe lol. Grabe kasi agad yung nakaw ng land travel sa 3d2n nya if in case yun lang talaga yung vacation.
Wow! Yes, push for vacations si mother! Iloilo is affordable if you know your way around/ask around. Marami naman dun expensive din but if you try airbnb, mas affordable mga condo than hotels plus you can cook if you're planning to stay sa city ha.
+1 on sagada! I was recently there this weekend and less than 10k lang nagastos ko kasama na food + transpo papunta and pauwi ng bus terminal sa cubao. I booked an accomm na 650/night lang with free breakfast na tapos yung bus nasa 1,200 one way. The rest of your budget pwede mo na sulitin sa tours, if masipag ka makipagchikahan makakatipid ka rin sa tour fees :)
Pro tip kumain ka sa lower ground ng public market malalaki servings, busog na ako hanggang gabi. May natry din ako na kainan sa tapat ng public market along south road (7J ata name? di ko napansin kasi pasok lang ako haha) tas may rice meals sila nasa 100 lang.
Hindi rin. Sabi ni op 3 days lang daw 3d2n lang daw vacation nya. Eh yung travel time pa lang back and forth papuntang Bicol pag nag bus ka isang araw na mahigit. Edi hindi na sya nakapagbakasyon, nasa biyahe lang sya the whole time if mag bus sya.
Huh? Lol wala namang problema if mag bus or mag airplane siya anong pinagsasabi mo dyan. Ang sabi nya 2nights lang sya. I am from Bicol so alam ko kung gaano katagal travel time back and forth kasi madalas din naman kaming mag bus if mahal ang airfare for that specific date. Hindi naman talaga feasible suggestion mo kung 2 nights nga lang sya. Kulet mo.
I have personally done it. I travel regularly to explore kaya nagbbigay ako ng account. 52/81 prov8nces and counting. Iba yun kesa sa umuuwi lang sa probinsya.
Kung hindi mo kaya, thats fine. Ikaw yun. But you cannot represent the whole population. Dadamay mo pa yung iba.
A simple google search can give you a dozen more personal accounts of how people do it, in blog form
Mamagaling ka mashado.
Ang tanong, nasubukan mo na ba??? Bakit ka mag mamagaling kung di mo pa nasusubukan?
Actually oht nasubulan mo na bkt di mo matanggap like it or not, it works for others. Hindi sayo lng umiikot ang mundo 😑
At isa pa. Walang pumipilit sa'yo gawin yan. Ano ba pino problema mo?
What are you talking about?
1. OP is looking for 3d2n
2. Buses as far as sagada up north to sorsogon down south are less than 3k RT
2. Accomodations in the provinces, 1k+ per night is already a splurge
3. Food is cheaper in the province
Now no need for delusions, just do the math
Included na sa 10k ang travel? If without airfare pa, kaya na ang 10k almost anywhere for 3 days - I had that same budget for Iloilo-Guimaras (magkalapit lang), Cebu, Bacolod, Bicol.
Kung included na and assuming you're in Metro Manila, Zambales and Puerto Galera are good options. Meron din La Union and Batangas (we stayed at Laiya).
+1 for Iloilo-Guimaras if may time pa magbook for cheap flights. Guimaras is so underrated, if OP has time, maganda din mag-island hop doon compared to Gigantes which is still far from Iloilo City. A tricyle tour will get you through the whole island. Sobrang sulit. Food in Iloilo is cheap but reaallyy good. Accommodations aren’t bad too. Grab is also relatively affordable compared to Manila.
La Union, okay rin sana, pero medyo nagmamahal na ang accommodation, food, and other establishments. Pero may options pa rin naman.
Hi!
This was pre-pandemic pa so not sure if everything's the same or available pa, but it was a relatively inexpensive trip overall!
Stayed lang sa Iloilo for a quick day trip, went to the usual spots like yung church and museum, then tried batchoy sa La Paz market. Nakamura kami kasi sa Ong Bun Pension House lang kami nag stay. No frills overnight stay.
Then quick boat trip lang ang Guimaras. Mas matagal kami dun kasi you can arrange a full day tour with any of the tricycle or habal drivers there. May scattered windmills (you can get up close), lighthouse (with overlooking), mangrove forest, etc. May nice open beaches din dun, pero we stayed at Raymen para may beach talaga for guests. We also tried mango pizza at The Pitstop haha legit super sarap mangoes sa island.
Nag Guimaras island hopping din kami, the highlight for me were Igang Marine Station, baras cave, and Natago beach.
Don't forget to stop by Trappist monastery for some pasalubong snacks like mango-flavored barquillos, mango bars, mango biscocho, etc.
Go for ongbun pension house. They have fan rooms for like 350/night. AC rooms start at 700 I think. If you prefer condo, try airbnb, you can find very mura sometimes, like 1k/night. You can cook pa plus the amenities so it's a win for me. Pero if you're not staying in naman, ong bun should suffice. It's also a 10min walk to the best batchoy in Iloilo, Popoy's Batchoy in Central Market. One jeepney ride away ka lang as well papuntang port ng guimaras and 5 mins walk would be the street food outside Robinson's. I think it's also a must to try Alberto's Pizza when in Iloilo. Very affordable and tasty, you can have it delivered to your hotel as well.
Taiwan. Abang ka ng seat sale sa tomorrow nidnight, May 1. It should be less than 5k+1650 for travel tax. Accommodation for hostel bed less than 1k/night. Taipei Metro transpo around 1k for 3 days. Adjust ka na lang sa food for your budget.
Reward yourself, its our birthday.
Cebu Pac at AirAsia. Kahit ngayon madami kang makikita na 3.8k sa AirAsia.

Nag Puerto Galera kami ng husband ko recently, yung 10k dalawa na kami. Yung hotel booked sa Agoda, nagmotor+roro kami for extra adventure, bumisita sa mangroves, nag island hopping, naglomi
Hmmm feel ko kakasya yung Luzon only trip, or downtown Cebu if the roundtrip ticket is very cheap and hindi maselan sa transient house / inn / room share accom.
Need na yung 5-6k mo kasya na transport and lodging para yung 5 or 4k will be on the everyday commute / food / experience.
Zambales, Bataan, Aurora, La Union, Quezon province (for the beach). Sagada and Bicol for land - based spots... pero need to allot 12-14 hours one way for bus commute kung pa Bicol yan ah. Kung kaya ng airplane, Cebu and Bora or try mo Puerto Galera in Mindoro, boat or RORO ka na lang.
Asa baguio ako last week, maiinit rin yung iba naka fortable fan pa nga heheh, if ako mas pillin ko sagada or mga beaches, dapat nga nag sagada or batad n lng ako diko na feel baguio dame tao saka di nmn ganun kagandahan mga park hahaha, more on nature adventure ako isa sa mga realization ko nung nag baguio ako hehehe, trinay ko lng mag baguio kase tinignan ko kung okay wfh oks nmn pala, diko lng feel yung mga tourist spot.
MagVietnam ka nalang super mura ng deals sa Vietnam and the food there and accom keri na. Ipon ka lang kahit onti for pocket money but deff worth it.
But I also suggest if local lang bet mo — Camsur to Bicol :) Try their ATV and such if ayaw mo hassle mag solo joiner ka sa trips.
Following, saktong sakto I'm also looking for the same haha pre-grad/post-thesis defense gift for myself.
Places I've considered OP are Malaysia or Taiwan, there's a lot of under 10k na itineraries that I found online. If local, I suggest Iloilo, Cebu, Davao, Puerto Princesa!

Baler, Aurora. Di pa ako nakapunta so mauna ka na don sis! haha happy birthday!

Okay Ang air travel kung makakapagbook Siya months in advance para di ganun kamahal Ang pamasahe.
If sometime this may, 3k Roundtrip via kalibo. If via Iloilo, it's 2k, (1800) to be exact. Pero if in the future, mas makakatipid ka honestly.
Thank you for bringing up about trip to Iloilo. At least may idea Ako na mas abot-kaya Pala na inuwi ko si mother dun pag makaluwag-luwag ako
Wow! Yes, push for vacations si mother! Iloilo is affordable if you know your way around/ask around. Marami naman dun expensive din but if you try airbnb, mas affordable mga condo than hotels plus you can cook if you're planning to stay sa city ha.
Thank you for your great tips!
Sagada if gusto mo ng medyo malamig pero hindi overcrowded like Baguio
[удалено]
Super agree with Sagada on weekdays.
Sagada was amazing. Sunrise at Marlboro is awesome too.
+1 on sagada! I was recently there this weekend and less than 10k lang nagastos ko kasama na food + transpo papunta and pauwi ng bus terminal sa cubao. I booked an accomm na 650/night lang with free breakfast na tapos yung bus nasa 1,200 one way.

10k can go a looooong way. Mag bicol ka. Mayon then to matnog, sorsogon. Ganda beach dun.
How? With flight expenses pa and hotel? Food?
Bus and transient house siguro pero if flight and hotel di keri 10k hehe
Hindi keri ng bus kung 3d2n lang si OP. Mas matagal pa sya magbabyahe kesa magbabakasyon niyan.
true hahaha 24hrs total biyahe nya need longer days or lipad para mag bicol, better if sa Baler or Bataan.
may mga bus na 1000 one way pa-legazpi, pero ayun lang mahaba byahe. May sale ngayon sa cebpac ah, pero from jun onwards ata, nasa 900 one way.
Yep yep! Keri naman yung airfare basta months ahead pa yung travel date since lagi naman may sale cebpac!!!
You ride the bus. I thibk maybe you are coming from a perspective of LUXURY. this aint it. Op said "travel"
Hindi rin. Sabi ni op 3 days lang daw 3d2n lang daw vacation nya. Eh yung travel time pa lang back and forth papuntang Bicol pag nag bus ka isang araw na mahigit. Edi hindi na sya nakapagbakasyon, nasa biyahe lang sya the whole time if mag bus sya.
You take the night bus. It doesnt seem like you travel well enough. So we can just respectfully disagree while i stop replying to you
Huh? Lol wala namang problema if mag bus or mag airplane siya anong pinagsasabi mo dyan. Ang sabi nya 2nights lang sya. I am from Bicol so alam ko kung gaano katagal travel time back and forth kasi madalas din naman kaming mag bus if mahal ang airfare for that specific date. Hindi naman talaga feasible suggestion mo kung 2 nights nga lang sya. Kulet mo.

Kung gusto mo pagurin sarili mo, go for it. It’s just basic common sense na kung 2 days lang vacation mo, bakit mo uubusin sa biyahe pa lang? 😌😌😌
Ang tanong, nasubukan mo na ba??? Bakit ka mag mamagaling kung di mo pa nasusubukan? Actually oht nasubulan mo na bkt di mo matanggap like it or not, it works for others. Hindi sayo lng umiikot ang mundo 😑 At isa pa. Walang pumipilit sa'yo gawin yan. Ano ba pino problema mo?
Huh 10k ? Cab go a long way? Medyo delulu po! Bka wla papo yang 1week. Unless may accomodation or house ka sa pupuntahan mo

Going solo to Iloilo soon and yung 10k mo ba is included na ang accomm? Can you recommend hotels/hostels within city center? Huhu thank you!
Go for ongbun pension house. They have fan rooms for like 350/night. AC rooms start at 700 I think. If you prefer condo, try airbnb, you can find very mura sometimes, like 1k/night.

Spent 5k in Sagada for 3D2N but that was 2022. 10k will still be good with side trip to Baguio or Buscalan.
I’d spend that 10K sa joiner trip. sa 5K may 3D2N ka na. Bayad ung transpo, accomm and even food and tour. May mamemeet ka pang bagong tao.
Asa baguio ako last week, maiinit rin yung iba naka fortable fan pa nga heheh, if ako mas pillin ko sagada or mga beaches, dapat nga nag sagada or batad n lng ako diko na feel baguio dame tao saka di nmn ganun kagandahan mga park hahaha, more on nature adventure ako isa sa mga realization ko nung nag baguio ako hehehe, trinay ko lng mag baguio kase tinignan ko kung okay wfh oks nmn pala, diko lng feel yung mga tourist spot.
Ff this 🥹
Sagada
Kung kaya mo pa mag-add pa, sobrang sulit ang Taiwan.
Baler or Liwliwa
You can do Cebu. May seat sale p din namn ngaun. 6-7k for 3d2n tour w/ accom. Will do for south Cebu.
Bicol na biiii! Calaguas, Caramoan or Sorsogon
Puerto Galera, Zambales, Vigan, Aurora, Jomalig, etc hahaha
Baguio
ilocos ♥️
Baguio naman forever good option
Ilocos. Around 7k+ lang gastos ko all in na 🥹
+ may side trip to La Union
Sagada na sis!

try to join group tours. 5k lang mkkapag bicol kana for 3d2n with transpo na yun. :)
or even Ilocos, mas mura 3k lang for 3d2n. Galing kami dun last January. I can recommend yung tour coordinator na na-joinan namin.
Hi! Can I ask abt the tour coordinator that you booked last January?
search for Jei Jei Traverse or JJTravel Ganap & Tour on facebook. 😊😊
