Locations in the Philippines
Hire a production coordinator
in the Philippines
As your production coordinator in the Philippines will tell you, the Republic is one of the largest archipelagos in the world. But what’s fascinating is that of its 7641 islands, 5,000 remain unexplored and unnamed! As your overall production coordinator in the Philippines, we’ll organize a journalist fixer to fill you in on the details of all the best island spots (including some of those hidden gems!) Rest assured, finding stunning filming locations in the Philippines is never a problem! Want to take a peek at our favorites? Here they are:

Luzon
Luzon is the largest island in the Philippines and as such, offers some wonderfully diverse filming locations in the Philippines. There are the bustling cityscapes of the capital city, Manila, an extraordinary coral reef area, the mountain ranges of the Cordilleras, and the Banaue Rice Terraces, often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Additionally, you’ll find beautiful beaches and dramatic volcanic landscapes along the coastal areas of Bicol. Your location scout will investigate all possible sites based on your script and film vision criteria.
Manila
Manila, the country’s vibrant capital, is an ideal filming location in the Philippines, blending old and new. Spanish colonial architecture stands in the shadows of huge modern skyscrapers, particularly with the colonial-era walled city, Intramuros. When location scouting here, ensure you check out the beautiful Baroque St. Agustin Church. In contrast, the modern skyline of Bonifacio Global City provides a sleek, urban vibe. Filming here takes a lot of planning but your production coordinator in the Philippines will manage it all.

Boracay
Known for its powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters, Boracay is one of the most beautiful filming locations in the Philippines. The island’s White Beach, which, as your journalist fixer will tell you, first became famous as a budget destination for backpackers, boasts a vibrant nightlife and stunning sunset views. Depending on your production needs, Puka Shell Beach and the quieter Diniwid Beach can offer more secluded, picturesque spots ideal for brand videos and commercials looking for a tropical twist.
Cebu
For exquisite natural filming locations in the Philippines, you can’t go wrong with Cebu. Alongside white sandy beaches, where underwater filming will likely find you face to face with exotic fish, turtles, and quite possibly whale sharks, there’s the stunning Kawasan Falls further inland. Of course, if location scouting in the Philippines for more historical sites, Magellan’s Cross and the iconic Basilica del Santo Niño, both in Cebu City, must be added to the list.

Davao
One of the most multicultural cities in the Philippines, Davao, located on the island of Mindanao, has great sites that should be considered when location scouting. There’s the colorful People’s Park, famous for its local artist-designed sculptures and indigenous-themed murals, and the Roxas Avenue Night Market where you’ll find the best street food. Beyond the city, your production coordinator can help organize permits to film in the lush mountain resort of Eden Nature Park or even along Mount Apo, the country’s highest peak.
