About us
The Philippines is our home.
Inside Philippines exists because planning the Philippines from overseas is harder than it should be.
We live here.
We're based in the Philippines, not in a sales office abroad. When a ferry schedule changes or a new place opens, we hear about it from friends before it reaches a guidebook.
We travel here.
We spend our own time on the boats, roads and flights we recommend. Every route on this site has been tested by someone who had to sit through the transfer.
We know how the islands actually connect.
Which flight leaves early enough to catch the afternoon boat, which crossing gets rough in August, which hotels will hold a late check-in. That knowledge is the difference between a beautiful trip and a tiring one.
We help you experience the country intelligently.
Fewer islands, chosen well. The right season for each. Time built in for the moments you didn't plan. And people on the ground while you're here.
Meet the team
A small team based in the Philippines. You talk to the same people from your first message to your last day.
Pearly Mae Canoy
Founder & Managing Director
Pearly Mae founded Inside Philippines to make the country easier to plan from overseas. She leads the company and shapes every journey we offer: the routes, the hotel choices and the standards we hold ourselves to.
Marc Silvestre
Administration & Ground Operations
Marc keeps everything running on the ground: bookings, confirmations, transfers, ferries and the paperwork behind each trip. When plans change during your journey, he is the one who rearranges them.
Yasmen
Travel Coordinator
Yasmen turns your trip request into a day-by-day plan. She coordinates flights, ferries, hotels and transfers, sends you the proposal and adjusts it with you until everything feels right.
Lalaine Cayanan
Guest Experience Coordinator
Lalaine looks after you once you arrive. She welcomes you, checks in during your trip, handles any changes on the ground and asks how everything went once you are home.
Why Inside Philippines
We live here, and we plan every trip on the ground.
Local knowledge
We know the Philippines firsthand: the routes, the seasons, the places that have changed and the ones that haven't.
Tailor-made
Every journey can be built around you: your dates, your pace, your budget, your idea of a good day.
One journey, one team
We coordinate hotels, domestic flights, ferries, transfers and experiences as one plan, not a pile of bookings.
Local support
We are here while you travel. If a flight moves or the sea changes its mind, we handle it.
Curated experiences
We only recommend places we genuinely believe are worth your time, and we tell you which ones aren't.
Better logistics
The right islands matter. So does connecting them intelligently, in the right order, in the right season.
