    Among these I'd prolly do the ghost hunting first! Weird but I enjoy exploring haunted places (I braved Diplomat Hotel on my own last year). The tunnel looks exciting too! Oh oh and most likely do the zipline! I've been second guessing whether to go to Corregidor as I wasn't aware that there are tons of activities to do there. *Mind Blown*

    Oh yeah! Imma sport my inner British and swim at Bloody Beach! LMAO!

    Can I DIY this or do I have to contact a travel agency?

    Thanks for the suggestions, Neil-san!

Munting Buhangin Beach Camp - Batangas

Located in the municipality of Nasugbu in the province of Batangas, Munting Buhangin Beach Camp is one of the few privately owned resorts in the area that doesn't really require memberships for visitors to enjoy.

Its light brown sand, sprinkled with different kinds of shells, is cleaned daily by the dedicated staff of the resort. Sadly, during my visit, a broken piece of glass buried in the sand gave one of my toes a deep cut but I know that it's just a rare case (no one needs to be fired) and nobody wanted that to happen.
