Manila travel information
may be the other post you have will give you the answer to your travel question. Manila is about one of the few places I know quiet nothing about - its too crowded and far too polluted for me to feel at ease. Myself I love to stay in provincial or island regions of the Philippines.
But many decades ago I also loved to stay in big cities of the world - to catch up with what i thought to have missed in life while growing up on a remote mountain farm in Switzerland
May be that's the way so many million Filipinas feel who come from far remote islands to spend years in Metro Manila
But may be we have forum members living in Manila to give you more details needed
love and bliss
