Well I run/climb the Mountains and trails but its always hard for me to go to any Mountains outside the metro but when I tried running @UP Academic Oval it was for me one of the most precious location here in Quezon City where you can run with fresh air, a dedicated lane for runners and cyclist, a friendly and affordable stores. If you wish to go on extreme running UP also has alot of trials that you can run in to :)

SM Center Sangandaan will serve as a good hangout in Caloocan.Especially when the people will like to buy something and no need to go to other place with crowded people.

For a small fee we gained access to a wealth of information on the role of the Augustinians in bringing Catholicism to the Philippines and to Manila in particular.
The exhibits are housed in rooms off the cloisters surrounding a large, peaceful courtyard. The former Sacristy, for example, where priests used to dress for Mass houses enormous and beautifully carved chests of drawers that were one used to store vestments; the former refectory where the priests shared communal meals has a long table set for a meal as well as other related exhibits.
The walls of the cloisters contain murals and paintings. Temperature-controlled galleries house precious religious exhibits such as statues and richly embroidered vestments all of which are carefully documented or labelled.
Information boards tell the story of the monastery through fires, earthquakes, pilfering by the British and the destruction incurred at the hands of the Japanese and the United States during World War11.
One could spend hours here.

This museum and courtyard Gardens is one of the oldest stone churches in the country, having survived 2 fires and 7 earthquakes.
Reviewed By sabi0james - Manila, Philippines
Located inside the historic Intramuros, this church was only 1 of 4 churches built during the Spanish era designated as a world heritage site by UNESCO. One cannot help but admire the beautiful interior of the church especially the ceiling. The baroque architecture can be evidenced by the church's exterior.
6. University of Santo Tomas

This is the oldest university in Asia, founded in 1611, and is one of the world’s largest Roman Catholic universities based on enrollment.
Reviewed By danerobb - Alberta, Canada
Of course most universities in the Philippines look and feel impoverished and rundown looking, but UST is one of the better universities in the country, although behind the likes of Atenao, UP and La Salle.
But it is one spot to come to get out of the traffic fumes of Espana Street, where the filth and bustle slows down to a crawl.
As with so many places in the National Capitol Region, it could form part of your experience of the ways of pinoy and the way that they structure their lives to meet expectations of family and society.

It is always a delight to spend some time in our condo unit at Eastwood City, either to meet friends or family for lunch or dinner, or just plain relax.

You have everything within reach at your leisure. You can walk to the shopping mall and shop until you drop, and to other boutique shops, dine at restaurants that offer different cuisine, watch a movie or a concert/show, relax in a coffee shop, spend some time in a book store, and many more.

Reviewed By Regina G - Quezon City, Philippines
Contemporary art, culture and advocacy- excellent work by Marc Malto is highly commendable. The pieces appeal to people with deeper understanding of social, political, economic and spiritual values and beliefs. The collection should be shown in different parts of the Philippines. The curator should find sponsors to initiate this and inform the public.

Former Philippine archbishops are buried in a crypt under the altar of this majestic Cathedral, whose 1951 completion commemorated the the five versions that came before it.
Reviewed By sabi0james - Manila, Philippines
Visited the Cathedral recently and still in awe of this imposing architecture. Being the major church in the Manila diocese, this Cathedral has a special place to catholics. This Cathedral has always been a favorite church for weddings. Although, the ceiling seems bare in comparison to other churches, the huge interior is imposing enough.

This large circular park is a good place to go for a morning walk or jog or simply for stroll. It also has a museum at the center dedicated to the city's founder, Manuel L. Quezon.
Reviewed By Jake E - Camiguin, Philippines
After looking on Google maps, we decided to visit the Memorial because it had a "Tropical Garden" and "Botanical Garden". Don't be fooled...both are merchant areas selling plants. They are nice, but don't expect a walk-through garden area. The Memorial and Bell are just photo opportunities...not much in the way of educational and the QEX Museum doesn't exist...or at least nobdy who works there knows where it is, haha. The Food Court is actually very nice with a variety of options and was the high point of our visit...
