Traveling has never been this easy and affordable – base air fares begin at zero pesos and travel hacks are made possible through the internet. And we’re not talking merely of international countries, but also of local destinations that are just as famously renowned. So as inspired by our local tourism, we have come up with a few matching pegs as dressed by our favorite K-Pop idols.
Cool Off
Location Pegs: Tagaytay and Baguio
Electric fans and air conditioners will soon no longer contain Metro Manila heat as the temperature will continue to rise as forecasted this summer. Both the mountainous terrains of Baguio and Tagaytay offer a cool escapade that are hours away from the city via bus or car. Although impossible for temperature to reach sub-zero, we can still cuddle up in pastel-colored sweaters and jackets as inspired by concept photos of Dal Shabet and B.A.P.

Sunkissed
Location Pegs: Beaches of Boracay, El Nido (Palawan), Puerto Galera
Whether your workout paid off or not, have fun under the sun! Foreigners flock to our country for its outstanding beaches, so we should patronize them as well. Party in a swimsuit (or board shorts for the guys) like Girls’ Generation or in tropical girly dresses like MAMAMOO and show everyone that you are the best!

Gone Wild
Location Pegs: Wildlife Trails, Zoos
So probably you are not a big fan of the sand and sea, but you are willing to enjoy the great outdoors and commune with nature. Take cues from one of RAINBOW’s concept photos which have universal pieces such as utilitarian/military jackets, denim pieces, white lace frocks, and leather accents. Trade heels for boots and have a change of scenery.

Timeless
Location Pegs: Vigan, Ilocos Sur and Old Manila (Intramuros, Fort Bonifacio, etc.)
Travel back in time as you learn about Philippine history in places such as Vigan, Ilocos Sur or the old Manila. Print on print continues to be big this season as seen in fashion spreads by 4Minute and Red Velvet. Wear light and flowy materials that when the wind blows, your photos will surely be IG-worthy.
