Fossil Sites in the Philippines?

I'm going back to visit my hometown in the Philippines. Are there any fossil sites in the Philippines? I heard there is fossilized coral there, but where is it, specifically? Thanks.

I have a number of crab fossils in nodules fro the Philippines. Which island are you headed to?

Hmm, I'm going to Manila. But then I'm going to Bacolod. Are there any fossil site places near there?

I have collected them in Tarlac City on Luzon and in a few creeks near Angeles. I also collected a few in the mountains near Bongabon in Nueva Ecija while I was living there. I know those are a few hours from Manila. There are also larger numbers on Davao but it doesn't sound like you may be close.

Okay then, I forgot to mention though. I planned a last minute trip to Cebu to see whale sharks. Are there also fossil sites in or near there? I'm eager to get my hands on these beautiful fossils.
