(SPOT.ph) Puerto Galera in Oriental Mindoro is as popular as the nearby beaches of Batangas and the white-sand strip of Boracay. It's just a P2P bus and a ferry away from Metro Manila, making it an ideal beach destination, especially for impromptu weekend trips. In fact, you don't even have to worry about looking for affordable accommodations as the town has plenty of Airbnb options, homestays, and room rentals with affordable rates.
