If you haven’t been to Intramuros since your fourth grade field trip, we hate tell you that you’ve been missing out on some pretty Instagrammable content! Manila’s new bustling energy can get quite hectic sometimes, so it’s nice to go back and appreciate what the city once was. Plus – you can’t deny they make for stunning backdrops, no?

Trust us – one post in Batangas’ Fortune Island will have your followers thinking you’ve gone all the way to Greece! But in reality, you’re actually just a two hour car ride away.
After a couple hours of photo taking by the temple ruins, feel free to get in your swimsuit for a dip in the island’s turquoise waters!

Though this mansion has quite a tragic history behind it, we can’t deny that its stunning features, and 400-hectare garden, makes for great photos. Some people have gone as far to say that it’s the “Taj Mahal of Negros”, and if you want to find out why – you’ll need to keep close to your tour guide before you disappear for a *quick* photoshoot.
9. Calle Crisologo (Ilocos)

Here in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll come across many photo spots past the cobblestoned streets, bahay na bato, and horse-drawn carriages. Truly any photo taken here will have a vintage touch, as if taken on a #35mm!
