Perfect Holiday Getaway this Holy Week Season

Philippines is known to be a famous tourist destination because of its alluring beaches, dainty dishes, warm people, and the inexpensive lifestyle of the common people. These are also the main reasons people from other parts of Asia and Europe chose to study English in the Philippines. Taking up an English language course coupled with a breathtaking vacation is perfect for this Holy Week season.

Most foreign students taking up English language course in the Philippines are not practicing this annual religious event. For most Catholic Filipinos, this Holy Week season is a time for abstinence. But for foreign people, since most English language schools will be closed for 4 to 5 days in respect of the Holy Week season, there is a long list of perfect getaway.

Cebu itself has a lot of captivating beaches to offer. From north to south or east to west, pristine white beaches or five star resort hotels are everywhere. For those who have a thicker wallet to spend the following list maybe one of your choices:
