Now is the best time go to because it isn't super hot yet and it seems like the smog levels have been low.
As far as stuff to do, not much. Get lots and lots of cheap massages.
Boracay
what about mid apr/may? how does it compare to thailand?
Words to know when you go there:
Ma buti Ka ba? Are you ok? Becareful if you mix up the words like:
Ma buti baka? means Is your beef ok?
Ay Nako! means OH MY GOD!
I'd recommend, if you're white and not rather rough looking, to stay in the nicer or more touristy areas.
As far as seasons, yeah, go during the dry season.
There are some really nice places. And minus the cost of the flight, it is pretty cheap.wow that boracay place looks incredible. i want to go to that side of the world so bad one day just to see what the marine life is like out there and swim with a whale shark.
I'm Asian. Does that apply?

what are you favorite spots?
You should be okay then. If you happen to be (or look) Korean, people will love you. They are currently obsessed with Koreans.
I'm headed to the Philippines during the Christmas holidays, should be interesting. Any things i should see in Mindanao? I did see that 2 Canadians were kidnapped there a couple of months ago..

If youre even remotely white, stay in the main cities...Davao, Zamboanga, Cagayan, and Santos. Mindanao is largely occupied by the Abu Sayyaf Dont go off the beaten path there. Whole different story in Luzon or Visayas.

Thailand is great.
I lived there for 6 months and loved it. I want to buy a condo in Bangkok some day. Maybe even Vietnam.
Going to be in the Davao area mainly
There seems to be a ton of things to do depending on what you're looking for. I'm going next week, but I will be accompanied by a local most of the time, so that will help me a lot.
A few places to look up if you're not sure where to start:
Taal Volcano
Puerto Galera
Palawan underground river
Baguio
Fortune Island
should have you googling for a bit hehe
Malibog - Beautiful
