MANILA, Philippines - More Internet-using Filipinos are excited about getting away and beating the summer heat, particularly in Boracay.

Search queries for Boracay in the Internet grew the fastest last month compared to other local tourist destinations, data from Google Philippines' summer Zeitgeist list showed.

The island, popular for its white sand and crystal clear water, outpaced other popular beaches as well as Baguio City, a place known for its year-round cold weather.

"Interestingly, even though it's been the most popular beach in the country for a very long time now, Boracay still occupies the top spot, which means searches for it still grew faster than other beaches in 2010," Google Philippines said in a statement.

Aside from the actual beaches and destinations, Google Philippines said more searches have been made on popular hotels and inns.

Search queries for Baguio, for instance, are usually accompanied by Hotel Supreme and Hotel Veniz.

Below is the full list of Google Philippines' fastest rising local summer destinations for March 2010:

1. Boracay
2. Baguio
3. Puerto Galera
4. Bohol
5. Punta Fuego
6. Aquatico resort
7. Alegre resort
8. Dream Wave resort
9. Cebu
10. Anilao

Although not included in the top 10 searches, Google Philippines noted that Camarines Sur (more popularly known as CamSur) has shown a "remarkable rise" in searches from Internet users in the country in the past years.

Searches for CamSur, according to Google Philippines, typically peak between March and May as the province hosts professional tournaments for wakeboarders, wakeskiers and wakeskaters across the globe.
