Visit to MANILA PHILIPPINES


Went to Manila on the 14March 2010 - 17March 2010. We were in a group of 15, mostly teachers. Arrived at Clark on the 14March, stay for one night at Marlim Mansions Hotel . Night went to Casino then had supper ...went to bed at 1.30am

Next day proceed to Manila, visit few places - Intramuros , Chinese Cemetery , Manila Metropolitan Cathedral , Shopping at Tutuban & China Town.






The Chinese Cemetery was very well organized. Built like a terrace house /semi-D / detached. We were told that some of these 'houses' even have rooms & bathroom for the family members to stay during weekends/every visitations. Some rich families hired caretakers to look after The deceased 'house'. They will stay,sleep and cook next to their master.(Scary ooooo....)

Had our dinner at Manila Bay then went to see a live band performance there...Went back to Hotel at 1.00am.

The following day we (Me,BV,Syl) went shopping - GreenHill , Robinson (11am - 10pm). The other members of the tour group went to Tagatay.

17th March 2010 we left Manila at 9.00am for Clark, journey was about 2 hours. We did our last shopping at SM Clark before our flight to KK (Flight at 1600)

Shopping in Manila is worth it ..cheap! cheap! cheap! and you can Shop Till U Drop...bought some souvenirs , Tshirt and a few things for me and the family. Eating Local food is a must!! I fall in love with the Boneless Fish, in Tagalog - Bangus
