While the sun was still setting and we were a few kilometers away from the port of Jolo, I noticed the big picture and the stunning view of Sulu - an island province in the Bangsamoro Region. Although this province is always associated with "war," my solo backpacking in the province is proof that traveling to this part of the Philippines is safe. I even discovered that the people are friendly and accommodating. Below are the must-do and must-visit tourist attractions and destinations:
Hiking Mt. 387 and the Batong Amat
It is one of the newly marked hiking destinations in Luzon because of its breathtaking beauty, spectacular and tantalizing golden sunset, and fresh and cool ambiance. This mountain can be considered one of the most scenic mountains in the Philippines. Mt. 387 is situated in the province Nueva Ecija which is dubbed as the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” so expect a wide green surrounding.

Mt. Batulao Dayhike
Mt. Batulao is one of the famous hiking destinations in Batangas for those people searching for challenges and outdoor adventures. This mountain is another gem and pride of Southern Luzon which is 2-3 hours travel from the Manila, very accessible to both private and public vehicles. Batulao is famous because of the breathtaking view of its ranges and slopes. Its surface has an amazing shape covered with luscious and relaxing greens. Since it's just a few kilometers away from Tagaytay, which is the usual side trip, its ambience is really cool.
