Skipping Manila? I know .... the sun and sand beckons in the beaches of Boracay. There's serious diving in Palawan. You long to breathe the mountain air in Baguio and Benguet, or simply go completely rustic in the northermost part of the country in Batanes. Or maybe you want to try your surfboards in Siargao or even check out the tarsiers and chocolate hills in Bohol. For many, it's the heritage... Read Full Entry

Retired early, but still active. Very involved in celebrating life! I love traveling because I always come back with less cobwebs in my mind. It is as if I empty my mind of all clutter upon departure, and fill it with many happy memories upon arrival. I also like the idea that life is so focused on the present, and my senses are all playing to listen, feel , see, smell and taste everything novel or not so new. The fact that I only have to choose from a limited wardrobe, or use the same pair of shoes throughout my holiday , or work and survive on a single budget make life so much simpler. ... full info

I must admit that I've lived all my life in Manila and yet I haven't been to these landmarks. I didn't even know these places are in Quiapo, which for me is just a place where one can: (1) buy cameras and photography equipment (at R. Hidalgo); (2) buy pirated DVDs; (3) buy all sorts of gemstones, semi-precious stones, pearls, native crafts; and of course, (4) see the Quiapo Church and get a palm reading from fortune tellers. Great post! It's like something I'd read in the lifestyle section of a magazine.

Went to school in Mendiola and detest having to go to Quiapo too. But this blog showed the amazing stuff in Manila often masked by the dirty and chaotic facade of the city. Very nice read Tita Lili !!!

Manila Viejo
Wonderful blog! I read and re-read it several times. As a native born and bred Manileno, all the place names in this article have a nostaligic resonance for me, except one place cited that I never knew existed. Thanks for the coverage of Bahay Nakpil which I will certainly visit next time I'm in Manila. Such places should b e preserved for future generations and the surrounding areas cleaned up and maintained properly.

Delicious Veggie Food in Manila!
As I’m sure many of you are longing for a nice sunny vacation on the beaches in the Philippines, make sure to stop for a day or two in the capital, Manila, to try out some amazing vegetarian dining. I can testify that the Tofu Walnut Burger at Corner Tree Café in Makati Village is a must-have. Check out this link for more information http://www.petaasiapacific.com/feature-VegEatingInThePhilippines.asp!
