Philippines is another beautiful place to visit. Tickets are cheap. Around 6000 QAR for business class with Qatar Airways. Philippines airlines will be even cheaper. I have been to Bohol after taking a domestic flight from Manila. Stayed at Bohol beach club. Surprisingly they have a separate Halal kitchen for the Muslim visitors. Even the cutlery for muslims is washed separately in that kitchen and not mixed with the rest of. Land of chocolate hills and can visit Tarsiers Sanctuary. (small monkey type primates. Almost the size of our hand).

But keep an eye on weather in Philippines. It’s not a place where one can go all around the year. I have been there a couple of times in March. At that time it’s nice. Not sure for the months after that.

Second time I went to Batangas. Not many halal food options as such but you can find Halal bread etc in the grocery store.

Philippines is a beautiful country to visit. Beaches r awesome. Boracay is another lovely island that I may be going to this year. It has some resorts with halal food. The central part of Phillipines like cebu and palawan is good too
