There are many other beautiful places in the Philippines outside its capital, but these 5 destinations will let you enjoy weekend trips with great ease.

The Sunflower Maze and Garden Showcase is temporarily closed for now. Due to the surge of visitors and heavy downpour in the previous days, the flowers and plants were heavily damaged and must be revived or replaced. Don’t worry though, the next batch of sunflower blooms is expected by end of March.
Until then, why not detour to any of these lovely farms near Manila instead?
