Depends on what you want to do actually, or how long you intend to stay. But the following cities/places are worth including in your shortlist:


CEBU

Shangri-la Mactan--don't miss the Chi Spa. http://www.shangri-la.com/cebu/mactanisland/en/index.aspx



BORACAY (no 5-star hotels here yet-- I heard they're building the Shang already), but the beach resorts below are beautiful:

Mandala Spa, Nami Villas, Waling-waling, Fridays..check other threads re Bora too


PALAWAN

Makati Shangri-la, The Peninsula

If you want some nightlife, interesting restos and enjoy a little shopping, then your best bet will be MAKATI

There is more to the Philippines than beaches. You might like to consider a trip north to Baguio (the 'summer capital' as it is higher and cooler), the beautiful mountains and trekking in the north and, especially, Banaue the base for exploring the world famous rice terraces. Banaue is a small town, very tourist friendly with accommodation from poncy hotel to basic guesthouses and a good range of souvenir shops selling traditional products of the area. Buses are good. Search the net for bus routes Luzon.

Subic Bay is one of the best place in PH as well.
