There are 10 places to visit during New Year in the Philippines.
First on our list is the Eastwood City Mall in Quezon City. Reasons for this are aside from a wide variety of shops and store around the premises are the different shows like music concerts, performances by famous celebrities, and entertainment shows with popular bands and music icons while waiting for the new year countdown.
If your budget is too tight for your living, another place to go is Rizal Park. If you are not a party person, Rizal Park is a go-to for experiencing a picnic to reconnect with your family and loved ones while watching fabulous fireworks displays that are mostly initiated there.
Quezon Memorial Circle is also a popular park in the Philippines that will fill your eyes and mind with historical museums, restaurants, playgrounds for children, and other establishments. These two parks are the a great epitome of Filipino's local cuisine.
Going away in the city lights, you can also enjoy the sun and the beaches of Boracay in these times. Tuned with the cold weather and the active environment for tourists, Boracay is one of the most favorite tourist destinations not just in the New Year but all year round for its dazzling beaches, delicious seafood, and night life.
Talking about beaches, Subic Zambales is also a good destination for those who want to pump their adrenaline levels with the different amusement parks, safaris, and different watersports like wakeboarding.
On New Year's Eve, Iloilo's Treñas Boulevard welcomes visitors and tourists with maximum joy, enthusiasm, and excitement. Even though it is less well-known than Cebu and Boracay, the Philippines' best destination to experience wonderful new year celebrations and countdowns are there. Welcome the New Year in Iloilo with colorful fireworks and fun events. The local government also organizes a yearly celebration on Iloilo's Treñas Boulevard to have a fantastic New Year's Eve. Another excellent location to celebrate the new year in the Philippines is Treñas Boulevard.
Some of us like to feel the Westernian vibe, to feel the new year with the cold weather. You can have a laid-back celebration in Tagaytay for a silent yet tranquil New Year's celebration if you're not a party animal, don't like socializing much, or are not a people person. Another best staycation in New Year's eve with just a few hours' drive from Manila, you can indulge in the glory of the view of the Taal Volcano while sipping your hot chocolate in the 20 degrees celsius weather.
For those who just want to have a chill New Year's Eve, why not spend your time in the mall? Mall of Asia has its reasons to be the biggest mall in the Philippines, loaded with different activities like entertainment, dining destination, shopping from the top fashion global brands, and more!
The New Year's Eve dinner in Manila is one to be amazed of. In these times, Filipinos tend to celebrate the "Media Noche," which is their prosperous dinner to feast and have fun. The typical celebration is inspired by Chinese culture with their beliefs of Feng Shui; preparing 13 round fruits, putting coins and money all around the house, and lighting different fireworks to fend off evil spirits.
Aside from having the best staycation on New Year's eve, you can also find elegance and luxuries that different hotels or condominiums can offer.
