I would say I totally agree with the reporter when she says Its more fun in the Philippines in many ways, and yes when you say Philippines I would say everyone would think of white sand beach and beautiful beaches.
Boracay is also known for its wonderful beaches, a paradise and I would say the "Queen of all Beaches". The challenge here for Filipinos is to keep as "the Queen" and should stay as it is and shouldn't be impeached on her throne because it wasnt taken care off by her people she serves.
However, I totally agree when she (the CNN reporter) says that Philippines are just getting a fraction of the worldwide tourist because of POLITICAL INSTABILITY, CORRUPTION, AND LACK OF PROPER INFRASTRUCTION. It is something the Philippine leader could do something.
Aside from the beautiful beaches in the Philippines, a visitor can also enjoy eco-tourism up north of the Philippine Archipelago.
The most popular spot in the north is of course Baguio City.
Or one can definitlely enjoy the scenic view of the mountain ranges of Mountain Province and Benguet:

Or the rice terraces scattered all through out Ifugao and Mountain Province:
Or join the Igorot tribe in their majestic cultural performances.
One can also visit the calm but mighty Abra River. Kayaking can also be develop in this place.
If you drive way up north you can also see the beautiful places of Basco Batanes.
