Runway Manila

Reviewed By MakotoPhil - Saitama, Japan

An air-conditioned walkway bridge between NAIA terminal 3 and Newport City. Newport City houses several hotels which are just across the road from the airport, and offers excellent accommodation especially for those who want to avoid traffic jams on their way to the airport. The hotel would just be a few minutes walk to the airport. The restaurants at Terminal 3 offers more affordable meals compared to the restaurants at Newport City. If you stay at any of the hotels at Newport City and you prefer more affordable meals, you can leisurely pass through the pedestrian bridge and get a meal at one of the restos at NAIA Terminal 3.

San Agustin Museum

Reviewed By kanemochi - Seattle, United States

The San Agustin Museum is attached to the magnificent and historical San Agustin church. You should visit both the church and the museum on the same visit. The museum is spread over the entire massive grounds over two floors. Many of the pieces tell the story of the evolution Christianity in the Philippines. You could easily spend at least a couple of hours in just the museum itself. I spent a few hours on the entire property including the church. There are two beautiful gardens on the property. Be sure and look for the turtles in the inner garden fountain. Don’t get too close to the fountain because they’ll swim underwater. They appear to be shy and very aware of people.

SM Megamall

Reviewed By 538johannaa - Melbourne, Australia

This shopping centre is a one stop shop that has everything to keep families entertained for hours. I have kids of different ages from a primary schooler to high schoolers. We can go our separate ways to indulge in our own interests to cover a lot more ground. I myself spent a few hours on the 5th level to do mani/pedi and have my hair treatment and blow waved. My primary aged daughter went to the arcade at the basement level with her dad. My two teenagers went around to shop and do ice skating. There’s a cinema, a grocery store , food halls/courts and a variety of restaurants that will cater to your taste weather it is Italian, Japanese, French, Western fast food , Mexican or local Filipino cuisine. You can find every weather it is fashion, high end luxury brands, electronics and different services like hair salon, nail salon, brow bar, facials, massage, travel centre.

Bonifacio Global City

Reviewed By MakotoPhil - Saitama, Japan

BGC is one of the most posh places in Manila. It’s a popular and high-end business district with plenty of business activities and areas for shopping, dining, and entertainment. For posh malling experience, Uptown Bonifacio and The Grand Canal at McKinley Hill are great places. The Grand Canal also has that Italian feel in it and you can enjoy riding the gondola. Market Market and SM Aura are huge malls. Market Market has plenty of options for food, and has plenty of transportation options to other parts of Manila. Bonifacio High Street is an outdoor shopping and dining strip with shops at both side of the pedestrian street which has a relaxing park-like vibe. When you’re in BGC, you’ll feel like you’re transferred into a different world if you entered from the somewhat chaotic environs. Within the business district, electric cables are buried underground, so the city views are orderly. There are green spaces and plenty of high rise buildings. You could also walk from one end of the city to the other, and the air quality is much better compared to most areas in Metro Manila.

Monasterio de Tarlac

Reviewed By theosphere

This is a perfect place to meditate, contemplate and reconnect with God. You can stay at the chapel and commune with Him or have a walk and feel His presence in your steps. The view of the trees, mountains, and rice fields makes you submit to the existence and power of a divine Being. If you enjoy driving, the road going to the monastery in itself is a joy to behold. When you are here, visit the Cafroozo Cafe, enjoy your coffee while contemplating and rejoicing in the greatness of this Being we call God. PS. If you are escaping from the noise of this world, visit the monastery on weekdays. The place is full of people on weekends and holidays.
