too bad!
well, too bad you did not have a good time in metro manila-don't expect it to be "exotic" like some asian cities, but i just hoped you "tried" harder to seek what the city has to offer. You could have visited san agustin church and museum, met museum, american cemetery and world war 2 memorial (yup, my country used to be a colony-turned-commonwealth of U.S.A. just before WW2)...and what do you expect about the temperature?- manila is just beside the sea, a few degrees above the equator, and with thousands of vehicles plying the streets each day...the thermometer won't register below 25 degrees celsius for sure. anyways, hope you have a more enlightened visit next time...
