One can visit the Philippine National Museum any time from Tuesday to Sunday for less than 200 pesos (4 USD). However, if you want to be able to take photos of artifacts, join the tour provided by Mr. John Silva. It cost 800 pesos (16 USD). His approach is more academic than entertaining but he is s…

We found this walking tour in a Lonely Planet guide book and were intrigued by the descriptions of a charismatic guide who carries a boom box on his tours. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Carlos, even if you already live in Manila! We took the "If these walls could talk" tour of Intramur…

I love Fort Santiago. It's special to me being the very first historical site I was able to visit in Luzon. And I love the fact that it's located in the heart of the city.
I have brought many friends to the fort every time I'm in Manila and the latest was last July with TravBuddies (minx281…

Chinese Cemetary in Manila is the only one of its kind in the World (according to the guide) and its a place where you can buy a house or a grave for the dead.. If you ever heard the term "Ghost city" this would be the best place to use it.
Its not for the normal Filipino-Chinese ,but rather for …

The nice thing here is that the beers are 60-70peso instead of 150peso at …

Forget about Angeles City when you are in the Philippines, Mount Pinatubo is a must for those who are adventurous. Do scout around for tour agencies around the city for the best deal available.
