Peters first visited Siargao two years ago, and the beauty queen said she “fell in love with the place instantly.”

“Honestly, as soon as I stepped out of the plane, it was like there was this magic in the air… I’m a very sporty person so I love to surf. They have some of the best waves in the world, which is why it’s becoming so developed. People are really learning about Siargao around the world,” she shared.

When asked about must-visit spots in Siargao, Peters recommended Daku Island, Naked Island, and the Magpupungko Rock Formation.

“It’s only visible for a few hours in a day. So if you do go, make sure you ask your tour guide or somebody at your hotel when is the best time to go. It’s definitely something you don’t want to miss,” she said of Magpupungko.

“I highly urge all of you to go and see Siargao while it’s still prime and pristine,” she added.

The beauty of Siargao is featured in the upcoming movie “Siargao, starring Jericho Rosales and Erich Gonzales, which is part of this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.
