Siargao joins Vogue Paris list of top ’10 islands to go on holiday’ this summerMANILA, Philippines — Fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue Paris recently included the country’s surfing capital Siargao Island as among the top “10 islands to go on holiday this summer.”In a piece dated June 18, Vogue Paris lifestyle editor Jade Simon described Siargao as a destination that “offers soaring one-on-one with wild nature, populated more guest houses with their feet in the sand rather than five-star palaces.”“Jacking Horse or Pacifico beaches are ideal for groping the waves. And for the less sporty, ‎‎the natural pools‎‎ allow you to splash in turquoise water,” she said. Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat welcomed the inclusion of the famous teardrop-shaped island in the roster. “Any person 14 years old and below and 66 years old and above are not allowed to travel for leisure,” its advisory read. This was reiterated in the updated travel protocols and requirements for persons coming to Surigao del Norte province last June 18.
