Manila, Philippines: Insider Tips

At first I was a bit sceptical about my plan to visit Manila City and what to expect there. Heard rumours from my friends that it is not a good place to Visit. But they were all wrong... Well, the climate are just nice, beautiful city and lot of place to visit, tonnes of historical place, people are friendly and warm... For those who loves shopping, this is the place to be, for those who are environment lovers, this is the place. Photographer as a hobby? well, I guarantee that you will have tonnes of pictures to be transferred to your pc when you are back from trip. Food are excellent and until today, Tortang Talong is my favourite dish... Hopefully I will be able to visit Manila very Soon...

Paul 's tip about Manila, Philippines (with reference to Fun, Bus Travel, IT, City Breaks, Food & Wine, Restaurants) 29th Sep 2011

Food food food, everywhere, lots of great value restaurants, feel like taking a family of fifteen for dinner and it will not cost you that much. Hope you like rice though, burger and rice, chicken and rice etc. I like Pancit, Adobong Manok, Menudo Afritada. Pick a good restaurant and food will be great, pick a cheap one and food will be fatty.

If you travel further, visit Palawan, Bohol all beautiful places, In the north there is the other capitol city of Baguio

San Roque Dam in San Manuel Pangasinan is an interesting visit, but book in advance if you can, it is free though.

Have Fun and enjoy your trip.

Choc 's tip about Manila, Philippines (with reference to IT) 15th Jul 2011

every country has it's 'dirty place' and our country is not exempted from it (literally and figuratively). please dont generalize and make sweeping statements.. it doesn't help anyone... my tip would be, if you are planning to go to manila or on any other place for that matter... have an open mind and an adventurous heart... then you will enjoy your stay in manila.

Thank you, Vijay... we appreciate anyone who can relate... we dont have to compete w/ any countries; no such thing. Every country has there own uniqueness & qualities of people & cultures.... esp what & how "that" tourist expirienced the stay... Really & in reality, there are more tourists who can attest that they had pleasant experiences in the Philippines. But, each & everyone has to be satisfied & has expectations. Bottom line, w/ an open mind, you will be reciprocated at such. This country is too small for a country but too big for a city... be prepared & know what you want & explore w/ caution... Thanks guys

Eunice (with reference to City Breaks) 9th Jul 2011

what makes my city great are its people. the warmth and the hospitality is incomparable. most if not all filipinos are naturally kind. you need only ask any locals and surely you would be answered good humoredly and with a smile. anyone who has 'really' been there can attest to that. yes, a populated city in the world like manila may be seen by an outsider as chaotic, disorganized but this is what spells the difference... my city is alive and most importantly has a heart.
