the downtown of Manila!I recommend Makati if you travel to Manila. It is the downtown of Manila. We stayed at the Makati Peninsula Hotel and we loved it. All the workers were so professional and they made sure that we left the place satisfied and boy we were! My wife and I traveled to 5 countries in Asia. We went to Japan China Korea Taiwan and the Philippines. We had fun in Asia and we will never forget our whole trip but the Philippines has a special place in our hearts. We saved the be... More
the downtown of Manila!I recommend Makati if you travel to Manila. It is the downtown of Manila. We stayed at the Makati Peninsula Hotel and we loved it. All the workers were so professional and they made sure that we left the place satisfied and boy we were! My wife and I traveled to 5 countries in Asia. We went to Japan China Korea Taiwan and the Philippines. We had fun in Asia and we will never forget our whole trip but the Philippines has a special place in our hearts. We saved the best for last. To tell you the truth we weren't expecting it to be as beautiful as it was. We heard of the tropical weather and so we knew that it had tropical fruits beaches and all the tropical drinks but it's so much more. We stayed for 5 days and that was not enough. The shopping the food the people were so wonderful the casinos and yes the beaches were all fantastic! We went to Fort Santiago built by the Spaniards during colonial time and you feel the history as you ride the kalesa a horse drawn carriage that went around the old town. One can see spanish built homes that adorn the streets. The Manila Cathedral was in this route and once inside you see the grandeur of this church. This is just one of many Catholic churches around the city that one can admire its beautiful architecture. Our tour guide also brought us to the University of Saint Thomas or just UST for short. Here one can really see the legacy that the Spaniards left the Filipinos through architecture and the catholic faith. These edifices reminded me of Spain. Then we also traveled to Roxas Blvd and many restaurants could be found left and right. We loved eating at the Aristocrat. We tried the seafood and many Filipino dishes. It was fantastic! We walked around Manila Bay and watched the sunset as the sea and the sun met at the horizon and what a memorable sight it was. It was romantic for both of us and we were kissing and hugging the whole time.

I met my wife in the Philippines and let me tell you about the gorgeous women so many of them. There is something about a filipina woman. Not just the beauty outside but the genuine beauty inside.

How can I forget my trip of the exotic islands of the Philippines? It was an unforgettable trip! Manila was full of pulsating beats parties and a myriad of things to see and do. I met my wife in the Philippines and let me tell you about the gorgeous women so many of them. There is something about a filipina woman. Not just the beauty outside but the genuine beauty inside. Of course there are good people and bad people anywhere in the world but to me there's an abundant of filipinas that are wife material. You know the kind of woman you want to bring to your family and brag about. I met her in Manila and I would never forget that place because she and the enchanted city has a special place in my heart.100filipina.blogspot.commabuhaybeauties.compilipinasbeauties.comsexy-pinay.blogspot.comphstars.com

My mom is from the Philippines and she would take us to visit our relatives there atleast every other year. The people are warm friendly and very accomodating to tourists. Now I go there regularly either with my friends or girlfriend. In the past decade there's been a building boom. A lot of construction of new resorts hotels infrastructure real estate malls theme parks office bldgs and condos. I love their prawns san miguel beer calamari bangus and tilapia. Those empanadas adobo and pansit noodles are delicious. A new world class oceanarium has just opened and I believe it's one of the biggest in the region. ( oceanparkmanilabay.com ) ( beachsidecommunity.com/philippines.html ) watch the youtube videos. Discover the beauty of my moms homeland.

Im a businessman and I go to the Philippines quite often. The people are extraordinarily friendly to tourists. They are outgoing and fun people. To say that there are a lot of things to do and see is an understatement. I have been there many times and I think I've only scratched the surface. It is best that you start traveling to the popular islands and enjoy it. Dont expect to see the whole Philippines in one travel. It cannot be done there are so many islands. Try their duty free shops... More
Im a businessman and I go to the Philippines quite often. The people are extraordinarily friendly to tourists. They are outgoing and fun people. To say that there are a lot of things to do and see is an understatement. I have been there many times and I think I've only scratched the surface. It is best that you start traveling to the popular islands and enjoy it. Dont expect to see the whole Philippines in one travel. It cannot be done there are so many islands. Try their duty free shops and splurge on eating seafood. Fresh seafood is served daily on many restaurants. The dollar exchange rate is pretty good. Dollars will still get you a long way in P.I. (Philippine Islands). It is tropical so bring your suntan lotion and some areas there are mosquitos. A lot of the delicious tropical fruits that they have could only be found in that region. Try them and you will love it! Have fun in P.I. and just relax and enjoy!Go shop duty free here: clark.com.phfamily oriented resorts: panglaoisland.com fontanaleisureparks.com boholtropics.combusiness or pleasure: pampangacapitol.com exploreiloilo.com gensantos.gov.ph bohol.gov.phHistory: corregidorisland.comPhilippines info: philsite.net

I had a blast in this country! Many things to offer travelers with varied tastes. Every island is different and some islands are still uninhabited. Since there are hundreds of beaches in the Philippines some dont have crowds and I felt like it was all ours. Filipinos know how to party. They really celebrate with their music and food. Go and enjoy this fascinating land. I had a memorable time and I would definitely go back.... More
