Going to the Philippines this Sunday for a month....... What should I check out?

[prodigy47]

Specifically Iloilo and I'm staying in Manila for two days to check out that Mall Of Asia
Are their any good clothing stores? Shoe stores?

Tell me all the good stuff

 

[ag 47]

The Pacquiao altar.

I believe they have one of the biggest malls in the world. If so, it's a tourist attraction so definitely should be all sort of stores, from high end tomediocre. Don't forget to go share a mango with KingCrux.

 

[cwrite78]

watch out for the ladyboys

 

[cabron james 23]

the transformers

 

[rocsole]

bebots.

watch out for the random group of people they will force you to pay something that you dont want and they will either follow you until you pay them and if youget knocked!! so my point is when your going somewhere bring lots of friends for backup. trust me on this.

 

[you go boy]

[cruzair13]

explain?

 

[ikari xd]

im here right now. mall of asia was cool, except they were playing pussycat dolls the WHOLE #!+%%%% time in preparation for their concert. makati nightlifeseems pretty cool, even though i havent had a chance to go out really. uh, definitely try the quickmelt ensaymadas and the street food. oh and if you get achance, try to buy some of that bootleg lambanog from the provinces and take it back with you. make sure its not too ghetto though or you'll go blind

 

[lorenander]

- go to mall of asia and megamall as mentioned. greenhills for some flea market type stuff. try going to ayala/greenbelt as well. probably one of the nicerareas in manila.
- if youre staying with family ask them what restaurants serve sisig and have a blast (they might take you to gerry's grill or dencio's or something).
- find a way to get on a tv show, particularly wowowee

- massages, mani/pedicures, haircuts, and facials are much cheaper than it is out here, so if thats your thing, take advantage of that.

and yes watch out for the ladyboys.

[maxtempo96]

i'm with sigmakidownz.june is a horrible time to go.make sure you pack your rain gear.bring zines,psp,ds,ps3,or anything that you can busy yourself withindoors too cause when it rains there,it pours.sometimes for days at a time.

do yourself a favor and have a generous helping of lechon brother.eat til you pass out.
