For the best place in shopping, dining experience, nightlife and other fun stuff to do, Makati is the plcae to be. One of our favorite place is Greenbelt with one dining place next to the other, it's your pick. The interior and ambience of the is quite impressive. It's also a mall and a cinema. Pasha, a mediterranean gourmet restaurant is worth a visit!

Then there is Glorietta, an Ayala property. it's a lively mall with plenty og good places to shop and eat. Always full with people, and many nice finds.

Neighboring is mall on all four corners, SM, Landmark and all the big players in the malling industry.

Another restaurant to visit is Top of the Citi on the top floor of Citibank. The view is breathtaking and the menu is very contemporary.

Then there is Rockwell, housing the hip mall called Power Plant. The best place to bowl. Prices of merchandise here are high, but nice place to stroll.

Nearby is the fort, a nice breezy place, again lots of food tripping, as Filinos love to eat. Here you can also find speedzone for gokarting or watching competition on remotecontrolled miniversions of race cars.

Makati is an endless experience, so be sure to drop by when visiting our archipelago.

Ofcourse coming from nearby, I have to recommend Alabang. It has two great malls, Festival mall with an indoor amusement park and Alabang Town Center a promenade type mall with a nice spanish influenced exterior with warm tones and wall paintings.

Being a past frequent visitor of the place, I can absolutely recommend dropping by here. The image and crowd of this place is always changing, but it nests a lot of good place to eat and nightlife.

Pan Pacific is located in the vicinity, and eating or drinking in the reataurants in the upper floor provides a good view on manila's skyline.

A short walk will lead you to Robinsons Place. This is a mall that caters to all types of people. There are stalls who sells fake items for those who look for a cheaper version.

If you are into vintage, preserved cities, brickroads, and hispanic heritage, then Intramuros, or the "walled city" is the place to be. Here is where I went to school, specifically Colegio de San Juan de Letran. I was a regular stay in "Batibot", but is disappointed with the commercialism of the place. I just have to say: Arriba Letran.

Lots of eating places and schools. Every building is preserved to look like the way it did since the time we were colonized by the spaniards. You can find San Agustin Church here, and one can also play golf within the walls. Probably it is most famous for Fort Santiago with its open theatre and promenades.

The bureau of Immigration is nearby.

Quezon City has a lot to offer in dining and nightlife. I am not a frequent visitor, living far from this place, but there are many nice places worth visitting.

Libis, eastwood is one of the hot spots.

Known for its lush greenery, fresh air, zigzag road and for being the home of Taal volcano, this is certainly a place to take a breather. Nurture Spa, Sonya's garden, Gourmets cafe and Antonio's are some of the places to find relaxation and eat healthy food. Tagaytay has many places that serve organic food

There is also a casino here, picnic grove to enjoy a homebrought meal, and even a zoo where you can enjoy the view at the same time (Resident Inn).  There is also a Starbucks here for good coffee in good surroundings.

Many places to explore, a definite must visit.

Equally refreshing as Tagaytay, but further away from Manila, is Baguio. Spectacular view and rich natural setting, this place is a popular spot among filipinos and tourists.

Laguna has a variety of things to offer. Los Banos has one resort after the other. you can rent a private pool or live it off in one of their many public resorts. Hot spring resort is a nice way to relax your body.

Other things to do is Enchanted Kingdom theme park, Lake Caliraya and Pagsanjan falls.

Coming from Manila, this is the quickest way to one of Philippines great beaches. We used to stay in white beach and had a ritual of staying there once a year.

I can't forget eating banana pancakes, pasta carbonara and zipping on one of their concoctions in Arcobaleno, owned by this italian dude whlie listening to reggae in the background. We would sit on the beach and watch the stars and if we went hungry, our mountaineer friend, Eman would bring his travelling gas stove and whip up a dish.

Before, it was very inexpensive, but now being commercialized have made the prices rise. too bad. We used to hire the rooms of "nanay" which was very cheap, and eat in banana leaves in the morning, but now even they followed the trend and put up the price.

Snorkelling is definitely on the list of things to do, and if you are more adventorous, why not crash course in diving. Watch out for music festivals with local filipino bands and sport events. Go beach hopping, just the boattrip is an experience itself.

Coco Beach Resort, La Laguna beach and Atlantis (featured in travel channel, flintstone like cottage interior) is also recommended.

Paradise on earth. We stayed here last year on a beach front hotel in the best area of white beach, station 1. Just a stonethrow away is Fridays beach resort. If you are many travelling, you should rent of one of these beach houses. Please check accomodations in this website.

Boracay has lot to be seen and done. Culinary experience, watersports and just bumming in the finepowdered white beaches is enough reason to come here.

We did jetski, bananaboat, massage in our private sunbed, snorkelling and boattrip to name a few.

This is our honeymoon this year. Other places to stay is Friday's and Nami in Diniwid (Jacuzzi in the terrace)

My cousin had her wedding here in Shangri la. We stayed in 2 different resorts during our stay.

Plantation Bay is one of the place to stay, but be warned, it is pricey.

Never been here, and if I had the budget we would have our honeymoon here.

There's so many nice places to see and explore, and the unspoiled nature is unbeatable.

Amanpulo is the exclusive resort here who have had a lot of celebrities guest, international and local.

Then there is El nido and Club Noah. You just have to see for yourself.
