Eight great islands, plus a hundred more! Cruising #GoingPlaces, Manila Bulletins monthly travel magazine, releases one of its most ambitious undertakings with itsGr8 Islands of the Philippinesissue this May. From Luzon to Mindanao, the Cruising Team traveled to eight of the countrys must-watch-out-for-isles: Cowrie Island in Palawan; Cagbalate in Quezon; Agutayan in Misamis Oriental; Sumilon in Cebu; Marinduque, Camotes in Cebu; Gigantes in Iloilo; and Bantayan in Cebu.As an added bonus, in time for the magazines 15th anniversary in June, we added a hundred more, and by that we mean the 123 islets or so, off the coast of Alaminos City in Pangasinanthe legendary Hundred Islands!

We have presented quite a varietyfrom the tiny Agutayan Island (a speck on the map) which disappears during high tide to an entire island-province, Marinduque, which comes alive during Moriones, says Cruising editor Johannes L. Chua.

Cruising also features Bluewater Panglao Island Resort that offers well-exceptional accommodations for those who want a memorable vacation. Our biggest discovery, however, is the astonishing falls in Oslob that goes with many names such as Tumalog, Toslob or Mag-ambak, with its unique stone formations and refreshing waters.

NEW LOOK IN TIME FOR 15TH ANNIVERSARY

Aside from its features, a new layout and design now graces the pages of Cruising. It is a visual treat especially for those who have been reading one of the countrys longest running monthly travel magazines.
