  • Hi, I wouldn't stay long in Manila, its dirty, crowded and very polluted. My favourite place is Palawan and Cebu, both beautifull!

    hi dude,
    i have family over there so have been over a couple of times. I found manila great for shopping. You have a great island called borrocay think that’s how u spell it. It is where all the rich Asian’s go. the equivalent of going to the Bahamas. Where about’s you going to stay as Philippines is a massive place.
  • Thanks Mike.
    Don't know where to stay in the phillipines that's why I was asking.

    I went to Boracay 15 years ago, and it was absolutely brilliant, expect it to have got commercial, but definately worth a visit. Would love to go back one day.

    Have a great trip.
