The Philippines is bounded by the South China Sea to the west, the Philippine Sea to the east and the Celebes Sea to the south-west, all of which contribute to what can be quite unpredictable weather patterns on land. Broadly speaking though, the eastern Visayas see the highest rainfall and typhoons throughout the year due to their proximity to the Pacific Ocean, while the northern island of Luzon typically enjoys a warmer and drier climate.
Even when the rains do come, there are still frequent sunny days and the vegetation is often at its most lush. Altitude can have an impact on weather systems and climate. However, it is significantly cooler in Baguio and the Cordillera region in northern Luzon due to their high elevation.

The hotels he suggested were perfect and he was always honest about what would be the best place for us to be. Our guides and drivers were perfect and a great part of the SA team. I would never travel to Asia with any other company. Firstly how strange it is to review a holiday company for a holiday you never got to go on! That said I have to say this wasn't our first trip with Selective Asia, our honeymoon in was also booked through them and was amazing, from booking to completion everything was seamless.
Fast forward 9 years and 2 children later we wanted to book the "trip of a lifetime" and Selective Asia was foremost for our booking. I actually went to multiple bespoke agents and Selective were the only ones who stuck to budget, considered who I was travelling with 2 young children and actually listened to what we wanted out of our trip. Their advise and suggestions were well considered - whilst we may be "experts" on our children - we've never travelled long distance with them and the recommendations from Andrew, our consultant were exciting for us as parents, giving us the potential to feel like we were having the adventure we craved - but keeping the kids engaged and part of it.
