"Mixture of past,present and the future" Manila by Dyesebel

Manila Travel Guide: 1,905 reviews and 4,447 photos

The heart of the Philippines, the focus of all governmental, industrial, commercial and cultural activities.
It is a city of many conspicous contrast,where cars drive past horse drawn carriages and old historic churches are just a stone's throw away from the modern shopping malls.It reflects an intriguing blend that include,Spanish,Japanese,American and Filipino.

Season:
June-October Rainy Season
November-February Cool to dry Season
Season March-May Hot to dry Season

    Yes, I go to Manila many times but mostly just to connect a flight. But maybe now, that I have friends na there, I can stay longer and since I found out pala there was a LRT, wow! :)

    Hmmm, Zurich sounds tempting, but I don't think the boss would let me go ;o) Still thinking of coming to NY?
