San Pedro
Spend one full day in San Pedro to see the Sampaguita Festival (if in February) or the Santo Sepulcro Shrine; add a quick golf round if time allows.
San Pedro is a commuter city just south of Metro Manila with a few tourist highlights – a February flower festival, a historic parish, and a golf club. Because attractions are clustered along Pacita Avenue and the main highway, a single day covers the basics; an extra half‑day is useful for golf or shopping.
