Wow, you actually made a list? You’re the best!

I know! (laughs) Okay, let’s see… Have you ever gone backpacking? We can go to Laguna. It’s about two hours from Manila.

Lorenzo:

Sorry, I’m not really into backpacking.

Hmm, how about Coron? It’s on an island called Palawan. We can go waterskiing or snorkeling. Oh, and they also have good diving spots!
