The University of the Philippines (UP) is home and alma mater to some of the country's best and brightest. It has been on the road to putting up new buildings and infrastructure in recent years due to newly found funding from the private sector. Shown in the picture is the UP Ampitheater, one of the more recent structures in the campus. The UP loop is a popular destination for joggers and bikers since half the road is dedicated to them. It is most popular especially on Sundays when the UP loop is totally closed off to motor vehicles.

I was truly impressed by its well manicured gardens and the serene atmosphere that it offers. The Poor Clares have always lived up to the ideals of simplicity and deep love of God. The prayerful ambience got me. I knelt and whispered my most fervent prayers.

I'm so happy, at the same time proud of my Alma Matter's Diocese. They've done really a great job in renovating the church. And some of artist and people I know such as my Chef, and relatives had done their wedding here. It's been a pleasure to be one of the alumni of Immaculate Conception Cathedral School.
6. St. Pio Chapel

Reviewed By KIMI4812 - Quezon City, Philippines
Among the new saints of the millenium, Padre Pio has become very popular among childless couples, persons stricken with grave health issues and those praying for miracles. In Metro-Manila, St. Pio Chapel located in C5 has emerged to be a new center of faith. There are healing masses which attracts church goers not only from the Metro Manila cities but also from provinces from the north and southern Tagalog. A very charismatic Capuchin Friar, Padre Pio was known to be a Stigmatist and last year his uncorruptible heart came to be reverred by the faithful. The church grounds can be access through C5 but is tucked inside a quiet compound. The main church is small and can occupy maybe a 200 pax capacity. However, benches abound in the open garden and grounds which normally are also filled by church goers that cannot be accomodated in the interiors of the Chapel. For Catholics, this place has become a beacon of hope to the searchers and those needing God's grace.

There is nothing more comfortable than living in Eastwood City where you can walk, dine, buy groceries, watch live concerts and see a movie all in one place. Should you want to eat or have coffee in the middle of the night or even the wee hours of the morning, you can expect establishments open 24/7 to cater to your cravings. I love how everything is in Eastwood for you to shop or even have your health check-ups.

Reviewed By Victorianlad - Melbourne, Australia
I caught a GRAB prebooked modern car from near GMA railway station at a weekday peak cost of P374. As there were no traffic jams at 0900 hours on a Thursday, in 25 minutes I was at the park. Entrance was P50. The aged in her 20s Filipina spoke excellent English. The park has a typical 1000 visitors on a weekend day but only 200 or so on most non-holiday weekdays. Bring water and a hat as even at 1000 hours it was humid and very warm. A lot of the park is in shade, but not all. I did not experience any mosquitoes but insect repellent may be another wise item to carry. I inspected the butterfly house at an extra cost of P60. There were about 30 flying of three species. In summer, from March, a larger aviary is opened. The park covers 73 hectares and has benefited hugely from thousands of trees and understorey planted since 2001. The forest trails were unsigned but terrific, with dense canopies. I saw some colourful birds including a yellow-bellied flycatcher. One really felt a million miles away from Metro Manila. There are two swimming pool complexes. The one that was open has about an eight lane, 50 metre pool that was very clean and looked inviting. Entrance was P80. There are refreshment kiosks with food prices as low as P15. A 330ml can of Coke was P40. The flower terraces have views of La Mesa dam. A lot of schoolchildren were visiting on this weekday and were noisy, but did not seem to walk into the forest. This is a great attraction. An oasis away from the traffic and congestion of the Metro Manila area. It is not open on Christmas Day and possibly not on Good Friday, but apart from that opens 363 days a year 0800 - 1700. Arriving early gives the best chance to see birds, particularly if one has binoculars. Some of the trees are 30 metres tall, at least. I walked to the bridge (where there was a friendly guard who spoke good English) and eventually found a tricycle to the Jollibee (and other restaurants) complex on Pearl Drive. The fare was P30. I then caught a taxi to my other Quezon City destination.
