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.

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.

No queues, no crowds in our early after lunch visit to the Ayala Museum. Reception at ticket booth was helpful and friendly. We started with the temporary exhibit of Mark Lewis Lim Higgins on the ground floor. It was a fascinating mixture of his paintings in an installation of some kind of rich warehouse, overflowing with silks, ceramics, gold and spices reminiscent of what were exported during the galleon trade. The muted atmosphere, the dim lights, the scent of incense and spices transported us to another time and place! Then we went up to the 4th floor to marvel at the gold collection: objects dug up mainly in Agusan and testimony to the extraordinary skill of local goldsmiths of the 10th - 13th centuries. The excellent ceramic collection of Roberto Villanueva held our attention for its scope, its richness and its beauty. A well-designed diorama, a narrative in a nutshell, traces the history of the Philippines from prehistoric times to the present. It was a well-spent and profitable afternoon!

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.

The place is easy to find as it is along the highway. The road is quite steep tho. The museum has interesting pieces and if you are an Orlina fan , and frequent his art exhibits in Manila, I highly recommend you visit this museum. Aside from his work, some of his old VW cars are also displayed and his backyard is also interesting with all other artworks in collab with other artists are showcased.
