Visiting Cebu in the summer a couple years ago was just incredible! Since it was my first time travelling on an airplane and riding in a yatch, spending time in Cebu with my family is one of my most unforgettable memories. The island is culturally rich, has excellent cuisine, and even has its own language, Cebuano! Looking back, the temples, natural attractions, and, of course, the food are the greatest things about Cebu. We went island hopping, swimming with whale sharks, relaxing on a beach, diving with a school of sardines and pawikans, and I even jumped from a waterfall during our time in Cebu! Our time to Cebu felt like it was just for a few days rather than a month, and I wish to return.

Our family was not the type to travel to different places like other students here. We also don't have any provinces to go visit every now and then. So, my most memorable place would be here in our house where I grew up. Growing up, we had difficult days as my mom was raising three kids alone. We didn't live a luxurious life back then. It was through those times that I can really see how much our mom loves us. She had gone through many sacrifices for us and that's all that I can remember looking at the picture. She is the first woman I ever loved and will always love.

My parents travel as part of their job so sometimes we’d tag along. One of the places we frequently visit is Bicol. Aside from the beautiful Mayon volcano, Bicol is just full of beautiful things. We'd always go to the beaches and go island hopping ever since I was young (I have a lot of photos that show the beautiful sceneries in Bicol but it might be too many for this padlet). I also got to meet new people that my parents worked with and even some furry friends :)) I've made a lot of memories there, some I really cherish. We usually go there thrice a year and stay for a week so I got used to it but I still miss the place once in a while. I genuinely love the place.

One of the most memorable places I’ve been in my childhood was South Korea, we visited it twice during my childhood. The first one was when I was eight years old and the second one was when I was 12 years old. I went there with my whole family and some of our close friends and stayed there for a week. We visited some historical places like their palaces where royal families lived before. We wore their traditional clothes called hanbok so we can truly feel like we are royalties that are living in the palace. Let’s not forget N Seoul Tower where we can see the city view and visit many showrooms like the Ssentoy Museum which I really looked forward to because we can find Marvel, Disney and DC toys and figurines displayed all around the room and as a huge fan of Marvel I was so delighted that I got the chance to visit the place. I also enjoyed Lotte World because they offer so many rides and attractions that are suitable for all ages. If I would be given the chance to go back to Korea I definitely would because there are still so many places I haven’t visited and unique foods that I haven’t tried yet.

Well ever since I was little, I grew up here in Antipolo. I was born in Angono,Rizal and I'm not sure the exact location and name of the hospital or clinic that my mom gave birth to me and we don't have an province to go to or visit to because my mom lives in Angono,Rizal and my dad lives in kalumpang Marikina so we don't have one so I just grew up here in our village in Antipolo. I grew up pretty well here and I get to enjoy my childhood growing up and just reminiscing, remembering the things that I did and the things I SHOULDN'T do and of course my childhood wouldn't be complete without my family and other relatives. Me and my Family lives in a house were there's my Grandmother and Father and my Uncle, all of them are on my Father's side so my childhood were not that boring because I was always with them. I have nothing much to say about them and stories to tell because my childhood was just pretty simple because when I started to get older and taller, I started playing basketball and trying out for varsity and play in leagues bringing the name of our school and yeah, all about basketball, friends, hanging out, going to malls, classmates house's. just like a teenager would do in their teenage days. and now Im just hanging out here with my friends in my village, playing ball with them and now I am training for a inter brgy that marcy holds, and I play for the branggay kalumpang and yes Im from antipolo and got to play but it's a long story to begin with.

Now, I know that majority of the people here would say "Oh! My most favorite place was this one foreign country!" or "This one area in the Philippines was my favorite place because I had such a great time!"

Judging from this, I guess mine would be a bit different then. Before I moved into San-Benildo, I cherished the past school I was in. The name of the school was "Magis Academy". A school inside the village of "Town and Country" just along Marcos Highway.

The school was enjoyable when I was young. Sure, there were some bad memories, but there were a lot of fun times when I was in that school.

There were a lot of fun events the school had that San-Benildo didn't have, and I enjoyed almost every single one of them. I think the most memorable event for me was either Foundation Day or Intrams.

There were also times when we were kids; we would run around and play street games for an hour in the campus, during lunchtime. (We already ate our lunches at recess)

It think it was the only place I found very memorable, despite the other areas I went to that I enjoyed.

Living in Bicol for a month was really one of the best experience I've ever had. It became a way for me to feel closer to my grandfather who passed away a couple of years ago. Living here was simple, and peaceful. Everyday I get to feel the cool breeze in our farm and I get to experience feeding animals. It may be boring to others but living in the province helped me gain my peace of mind. For a month I get to explore Bicol and its tourist spots but my most favorite was the Mayon volcano. It really completes the experience of living in Bicol. That one month felt like a week because I surely miss the fresh air from our farm. I hope to come back soon and hopefully to stay there for good in order to make more happy memories.

I love Antipolo but nothing will replace my love for the place I grew up with. My siblings and I grew up in Sta. Mesa. To be honest, we did not have much before, unlike now, where we can buy anything we want. But even though we were kind of short financially before, we were very rich when it comes to the bond and joy we have in the family. I remember when we were at our old small house, a small house but with huge memories. Every 7 am I would wake up, because I always love going with my mom the bring my sisters and brothers to school, then I would play with my playmates because I was the only one not yet studying that time because I was like 2 years old. Then after my siblings go home, we would always go outside to play. Until now, that small house is still standing proud in the Sta. Mesa. We never decided to sell it, although we did renovate it a bit. We made it a dormitory for students because it is near PUP. So whenever we would visit our relatives in Sta Mesa and visit our old house, it just gives those happy old memories. It's like Deja Vu or something. If I could just give some advice to young people right now or the youth, I would say, enjoy your childhood, yes, growing up is also fun, but nothing would ever compare to the joy of your childhood days.

One of my most memorable places to go to are Batangas and La Union. My relatives own a resort there and we would often visit during summer breaks. It was really fun, whenever we would go there I would have the best mood. Batangas at this point is everyone's "go to" place since it's a wonderful place to travel with your family. Back in 2019, we went there as celebration of my cousin's birthday and although we travel almost every summer break, that day was my first ever stepping on the beach. I have always been afraid of the ocean so it was really memorable that I got to experience it.

Bangkok, Thailand was one of my favorite childhood places to go to. We would visit almost every year with my relatives. One of my favorite parts about traveling to Bangkok are those times when you’re fully immersed, and consciously take a moment to realize where you are and take it in. We would explore the city, amusement parks mostly, and eat delicious food. The beautiful country stayed with me the most when I think about my childhood memories, and I truly enjoyed every single moment during my stays in Thailand. I feel like we’ve only seen just a tiny part of it.

"The Most Loyal and Noble City, The Queen City of the South". Iloilo City has many different names but for me, I can call this as the most memorable place of my childhood. Growing up now and hearing it's name brings back so many dearest memories. At the age of 1, I stayed there until I was 4 because of family problems. There I managed to become much more closer to my family since Iloilo City is my Dad's province. We used to celebrate huge festivals over there and tons and tons of memories collected. Before my grandparents passed away, We were always there and was welcomed as much. Unfortunately, time has gone by so fast and there's nothing in Iloilo anymore to visit. My relatives are already in the States with their own families and lives, while I'm already here settled in Manila. But if there was a chance of going back and having a reunion or a gathering with them, I will gladly come back there.

this picture was taken at our previous home at Antipolo City, and yes I am that baby inside the stroller. I may not see or know what did exactly happened way back then but all I can only recall is  that I always felt the warmth of my mother as we enjoy our time together. so far, this picture is really important to me because it is the first picture I have where I am with the first woman that I love more than my life.

The most memorable place I've been during my childhood was when I was in Saudi Arabia, as my family got to spend time together while we were complete and happy during those times, 2013-2015. I am hoping that our happiness would not just stop there, I'm also still hoping that we would be complete again soon to make new memorable memories together again, just like how memorable our life was in Saudi during those times. Going to Saudi Arabia did not just help me complete my family, but Saudi also taught me a lot of things about reality of life, and how I could handle things, even at a very young age.

It may not have seemed like it, but when I was younger, I loved going to computer shops. Admittedly, I’m not that good but I like to feel the excitement of playing my favorite Computer Games back then just like DOTA to name a few. In fact, to my great delight, my parents tried to delete all the games on our Family Computer at home and because of this, you know it already. The computer shop is the key. I still can  remember the noise of people shouting left-right, can still remember the smell of headphones, can still remember the feeling of weak electric fans matched with hot air blowing from CPUs, and anything else that makes me think of just leaving. However, all of that I did not bother and just had fun playing. When not playing, I sometimes go just to watch those who play there. They, like other parents, do not want to see me playing at computer stores, so I sneak out almost every siesta time. Instead of obeying and sleeping in bed, I choose to extend the hours on the computer. Even I don’t know why I used to love it. Probably because then, I played together with my friends as if we had nothing to worry about and I would be happy if we would be given a chance to do it again just like old times.

My most memorable place growing up has to be Lingayen, Pangasinan. Seeing as it was the place where my mother's side of the family is from; it was also the place we went to during the holidays, for family reunions and such. The highlight of each trip to the province was going to Lingayen Beach, especially the sunsets you get to experience there. Also because of the family I have there, memories I'd treasure for years and years to come. For me mainly, it was the peaceful end of the year, it was the thing to look forward to after each and every year. To wind down after a taxing year, and reset yourself for the next.

As a kid, our family would go here at The Heritage Hotel to watch circus. It was one of the most memorable and unique experience I ever have because it was very rare to see one. We used to really go out and spend a lot of family time back then. Looking back at it now, it's really fun to remember fragments of memories from this place and whenever we would pass by it, it just suddenly brings joy. The picture of my family with people performing there and the tons of confetti after the show that my sister and I would pick up will forever be kept and be a reminder of special times.

People's Park in Valenzuela brings back memories of my childhood. The majority of my relatives live in Venezuela, which is why we visit there frequently. My cousin and I produced a lot of great memories in the Valenzuela People's Park. We used to ride our bikes through the park at night and watch the multicolored fountain.

Singapore was the most memorable place I grew up in. I used to go to Singapore during vacation during my childhood and then I studied there for a while until I had to go back to the Philippines. One of the best experiences I had when I used to live there was that there were playgrounds everywhere, so everyday I played with different children until dusk. I had a fascination with their public transport, because you just need a card to get on buses and trains. It was so fun to ride trains and see the view of the different parts of Singapore. Whenever we go out, it was always so fun because we get to eat a lot of food, do a lot of activities like riding bikes, building sand castles, having picnics and such. The environment there encouraged children to play together outside and I didn’t really use gadgets often.

Nasugbu, Batangas, particularly Club Punta Fuego, was the most memorable place for me when I was still a child.  Because of the breathtaking beach and the most famous infinity pool in Club Punta Fuego, this place feels like a sweet escape from the city. My family and I traveled to Batangas to celebrate my grandmother's 70th birthday, and I remember that we have to re-book our reservations due to the Bagyong Ondoy that occurred in September 2009. For me, it is very memorable because we were able to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, and even if we weren't complete, we still had a good time and stayed for three days, so it was worthwhile. It was a quick vacation, but we enjoyed our staycation because Batangas is known for its beautiful beaches, and even though it's a little far from Manila, and even though staying in Club Punta Fuego is so expensive, I'm still grateful for my family that we got the chance to experience a different kind of vacation because we don't usually go to the beaches; instead, we usually go to Tagaytay or Baguio City, but going to the beach is not really our thing

In Pasig City's Villa of Miguella, I had one of my fondest childhood memories. Every day, I'd get out of bed early to play outside, ride my bike, or watch television. Back then, I was highly involved in physical activities. I didn't have any devices, so I had to rely on the world outside our house for entertainment. Our parents would let us play outside, either with our friends or simply my siblings and me. Sometimes we'd go to a friend's house and play with their toys or eat some street food. It's remarkable to me because it's one of the few times I've been able to go outside and be completely carefree and happy. Unfortunately, ever since we moved, I never get to go and play outside anymore. I grew up stuck at home, focused on gadgets and the like.

My family and I always visit our grandparents' house in Punta Fuego, Batangas. I was only 4 years old when the house was built. When I am there, I spent most of my time, enjoying the different sceneries of the environment because everywhere you look around, you will definitely see trees and birds. Most of the time, our family gatherings and special event just like Christmas and New year are held here. Some of my cousins have always ‘pakulo’ for us to enjoy each company and when summer has come, we are all soaking under the sun.  What we all love about there is the beach near my grandparents’ house, it feels relaxing and calm. No pollution, no traffic noises, just the sound of pounding waves and fresh air. Until now that I grew up already, whenever my mother asks me where I want to spend my vacation, I would still choose Batangas because except this place is indeed beautiful whenever I am there, I remember vividly the memories I had with my father. He is an adventurous person just like me, that’s why every moment I spend with him become memorable. But even though he passed away already, I would still consider, Batangas as my home.

The most memorable place for me would be my home province of Bacacay Albay. The reason why I chose this is the place where I was born. I also spent my first few years living here. Most of my fondest memories reside here, from hanging out with childhood friends to going out with my grandparents. Even after moving from province to city, I always think about events that might be happening in my old stomping grounds. Sometimes I would end up feeling homesick while in the city, so much so in fact that we often go back even when there are no special occasions and holidays.

Antipolo City is my hometown, however, Marikina City is the place I called home when I was still in my younger days and the City that raised me. This is the place where I find the most memorable because in here, I developed real relationships that I surely did treasure up until now. This is also the place where I had my firsts- first time I went to a public school, first time being reported at the guidance office, first fight and so on. During my childhood days in Marikina was chaotic but unforgettable days in my life as a child. Also, I value Marikina City this much because of the reason that the people there are the best, one of the reasons I am who I am now is because of this.

The most memorable place for me is the Ynares Center in Antipolo City. During my childhood days, it was always fun to go there regardless of event. Whenever my elementary school has an event, it's always in Ynares Center. I remember how we had a pageant parade around the place with my other classmates at the time and it was very hot during that day. However, whenever it's Christmas, the whole Ynares Center will be full of stores and food courts. I used to roam around each store with my parents and sometimes even beg to them to buy me food or toys. I think there's also a different christmas tree per year which is fun to take pictures off. Other than that, the inside of the center is used for sports and I went there with my classmates one time to watch them. The whole Ynares Center is something worth remembering for me.

I grew up in Antipolo City, but I spent a lot of time visiting my hometown in Quezon Province. Most of my relatives and cousins live in Lucena City, so I always feel excited whenever we go there. I gained a lot of memories there, especially during my childhood days. We usually visit places, such as resorts, parks, and local restaurants, or roam around the city to have fun. On some days, we will go farther in the Padre Burgos area to visit our other place that resides within a beach that we truly enjoy. My parents first took me there when I was still a baby, and I still visit the same place if I have the chance as I value and treasure it greatly. We would cook barbecue, swim in the sea, play on the sand, and eat snacks. Lucena will always remain a memorable part of my childhood as I have a lot of memories there, and I feel like I always love going back there as I feel free and like a child again.

One of the memorable places of my childhood is our house in Real, Quezon. This is where I spent most of my time when I was a kid, we often go there during summer vacations together with my relatives and cousins. Having the time and place to spend time with my family, makes me to get to know them more. My closest cousins, we grew up swimming within the beaches and falls of Quezon, I really cherish those moments with them when we were a child.

To give a short background behind this photo, this is the first photo on my sister's scrapbook. There are a lot of reasons why this has become my favorite and most memorable childhood experience. This photo was originally taken when I was 8 years old (2012). Having a workaholic dad, we do not often hang out or travel to different places. This was our first family travel. We enjoyed the weather, the scenery, and also how accommodating the locals are. I'll treasure the experience I had at that moment because I had the chance to have fun, take pictures, and bond with the most special people of my life. It makes my heart happy seeing a lot of people now visiting and admiring this special place. This place will always symbolize how simple yet amazing life can be.

Childhood is the most enjoyable and memorable period of a person's life. It's the initial stage of life, and we can enjoy it however we choose. After all, this is the period that shapes the future. Parents love and care for their children, and children love and care for their parents. Furthermore, it is the time of life when we can teach youngsters anything. Childhood experiences become lifelong memories that bring a smile to our faces every time we recall them. Because children do not grasp these things, only adults understand the true significance of childhood. Antipolo, Rizal was the place where I grew up, both my parents and their families are mostly  from Antipolo. Others say that Antipolo is like a second Baguio because of the temperature especially during holiday season and because when going to Antipolo it’s like you’re going to mountains just like in Baguio. There are a lot of tourist spots in Antipolo as well as some breathe taking views that I love the most. One of my favorite moments in Antipolo is every New Year. Since both my mom and dad’s side are from Antipolo, we can easily go to both of sides every New Year’s Eve. Every year, we always celebrate, prepare games and food, and a lot more. With this, I can bond with my family knowing that we are complete.

I will never forget our grandmother's house in Nueva Ecija. I got to stay there for a few weeks or a month without my parents or siblings. That time, I met a friend and played with them when I stayed, and got to know more about my cousins, titos, titas, and my grandmother. Also, I got to celebrate my birthday for the first time with them. When I go back to that memory, it feels like a breath of fresh air. I really like it in the province because of its fresh air, and I still do up to this day.

Alfonso, Cavite This is the place where I grew up. When I was young, my parents left me with my lola because they needed to work in Manila and no one could babysit me because they were scared to just leave me with someone else. So I lived with my lola in our province when I was young. At the age of 7 years old, I am now living with my parents here in Manila. Growing up in our province, I made so many happy memories there because, first, that is where I met my first friends, who are my cousins. I have so many friends there because in our village, we are all just connected, like we are really all relatives. And you know, I really enjoyed my childhood there because when I moved here to Manila, I was just always inside our house. The bonds of the people there were just the best. Next is that they always join me in pageants and Flores de Mayo. In our province, there are so many beautiful places with fresh air.

The most memorable place that I grew up is on Manila because there are so many persons who really love me there. Since I was the first baby in the baranggay and I can go on malls, shopping and playground with my grandma, she always spoils me. Manila is a crowded place but for me it's a safe place when we live there because I can go whenever I want with my grandmother. I was so closed with any of my family since I was the first baby back then but suddenly we need to move on our province in Tumauini, Isabela and continue to grow there, because my father and mother decides to marry each other on our province. That is also one of my memorable places because of the symbolism of my father's and mother's love.

“The Midway of an Old House”

There are numerous unforgettable places I visited as a child, but the one that stands out the most is the place where I grew up. It is a simple yet traditional-looking house that was once owned by my family but is now owned by my grandmother (father's side). Living in our old house is like standing between two generations. It's a fascinating remembrance from my childhood because it seemed like I was being escorted by nature while also feeling like I am living in a province overwhelmed with serenity. The only thing that makes our old house appear modern is that it has been refurbished and the internet signal is not terrible. I can promise you that even after several renovations, our old house remained intact and sturdy enough to withstand the tragedy of mother nature. I wish I could go there every day, but the journey takes too long and I don't have much time as of now.

Las Pinas City was my home for a lot of years. This is where my father and I used to reside, as well as where I went to school, St. Joseph's Academy in Bamboo Organ. I had a wonderful experience living in here because this hometown is filled with good memories of me and my father. And my favorite memory of us is when he would always send and fetch me to school.  Furthermore, my school in Las Pinas City was well-known for where the famous bamboo organ is located. This place is my alma mater, where I studied from first to sixth grade, and I can honestly say that I learned a lot of valuable lessons and made many experiences that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

We used to travel anywhere, but for me Spain was the most memorable place we've visited. And I studied there for a while but then my parents need to go back  here in Philippines so we moved back. I think one of the reasons why i enjoyed our stay in Spain was because it's too colorful and their culture is unique and  they always have fun activities. And the people in Spain is too responsible and neat so you won't find any trash laying anywhere and when you go there you'll see or feel that you're in a medieval time because of the structure of their houses.
