ReplyDeleteBy the way... double 'P' and one 'L' in Philippines Ry. Heheh.
Hehe.. I just copied the whole stuff from Yahoo travel. lol. Manila has a very vibrant and very active nightlife that just overwhelms newbies. Makati is Ground Zero with pockets of parties spread out in Malate, Ortigas, Quezon City, and The Fort. Philippines really has a lot to offer and if you just know your way around, this country pulls out surprises in the most unexpected places. :)
ReplyDeleteSpelling corrected.. lol. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah very true! Kulang lang sa promoting overseas diba? Can I repost this too, sometime?
ReplyDeleteSure thing. Actually, most of my foreigner friends are actually suprised to find the Manila nightlife very fun. And we are not talking about the sleazy-girlie bar-trailer trash type of fun but a sophisticated and uniquely Filipino type of fun.
ReplyDeleteAyun, posted this too na Ry. With a link to your page here. We sure could use all the positive news we can get! Heheh.
ReplyDeletehe he he.. Thanks Doc! Let's put the cool back to Manila!
ReplyDeleteYes...I saw this list on my yahoo page one time and I even took time to read every comment posted by the foreign visitors.... We got good reviews! Honestly, the high praises were mostly about the people they have encountered and befriended. I must say WE are the Philippine's most valuable tourist attraction....
ReplyDeleteYep. :) Filipinos can rock the house talaga. :P
