Hidden Tourist Spots In Cavite
Malibiclibic Falls
It might come as a surprise that Cavite has hidden waterfalls but it does! And the best part is, they are among the most beautiful hidden tourist spots in the Philippines.

Cabag Cave
It also has a clear pool but the real draw here is the underground river
