Hi Maggie,
July is not the best time to come to the Philippines because this is the beginning of heavy rainy season and its not good to engage in any activities at the beach.Boracay Island is too crowded with foreigners and businesses.You can check out Coron Palawan for snorkeling, scuba diving,Cebu, Bohol, and Guimaras.Guimaras is the hide away for Germans and the place for sweet mangoes.La Union is best for surfing.I hope this helps.

Hi Annawang...oh my oh my,forgot to put that into consideration.Well am just passing through so maybe ill reduce my stay to 1 week 
depending on how heavily it will be raining and that probably means no beaches unless it wont be sooo bad!ooh but there is always next time. Thanks so much for the info.
Cheers
