Hello,

I'll be going back home last week of April for a month this year. I haven't gone back for 14 years and I have no clue what to do in Pinas.

What do you guys suggest on what places to visit or things to do there? Places or things to avoid?

......and yes, I definitely need to check that aquarium that I've been told about, I need more info! :D

thanks much,
-radz

Clubing, clubing, beach, clubing by the beach, some sight seeing, air force one, clubing, clubing, sight seeing lol

Avoid women...who aren't really women........... hahaha make sure you double check and ask for verification BEFORE you pay... :p

But honestly clubbing, sight seeing, AIR FORCE ONE +234802348, more sight seeing, family finding...

AVOID: dark alleys, cross dressers, casinos (they totally rip you off there), and other such things that will get you in trouble... (unless you can bribe the police there..pretty easy..heh)

i would def plan a trip to Boracay and be sure to stay around Terminal 1. then get a legit couples massage right on the beach.

air force one is ok, but there's newer and better fishing available. let's talk at MFest.

hmmm this is my input.. just got back from there like a year ago...
air force one is played out! and prices are OP!

1. Boracay - Discovery or Regency both of them are really good but I prefer to be on Regency because it is in the middle of all the action.

2. Manila - gotta check out mall of asia, theres tons of night clubs so its best if you hookup with your family or cousins out there to show you around, there are also tons of strip clubs, and make sure you get a driver because that place is chaos! no such thing as 4 way stops!! :excited: ... make sure you also hit up the buffet at Shang rila Edsa omfg bombbbbbbb :drool::drool::drool:

3. Cebu - cebu is like #1 when it comes to food, it tops manila by a thousand. Eat lechon and lots of BBQ seafood etc... And you need to pay a visit to jaguar and infinity (trust me it beats AF1).. there is also waterfront where you could gamble.. There is also a nice beaches there on mactan island but i dont think there as nice as bora...

4. if you are more into sightseeing i suggest bohol and palawan.. I didnt go there cause its like jungle status there.

But watever u do.. just go there loaded! because u will spend a lot! :leghump:

MMM Buffet at Shang Ri La in Makati is BOMB!!!!!

My family stayed at that hotel during part of our stay there. I believe it's a 5-star hotel? For only $90 a night, DAMN! freaking awesome and really close to Greenbelt and another mall. Buffet is free for breakfast... OMG... their food is hella bomb there.

Just watch out..security is pretty strict there so uh...be careful about the "friends" you bring up.......

when do you leave Radz? i'm leaving on the 23rd but only going for my Grandma's bday and visit my dad real quick.

have a good time braddah. If you visit Iloilo, you're more than welcome to stay at the family house. It's a four hour mountain drive to Boracay from there. Just let me know and i can have it prepared for you :D

if we have a group trip, my house can fit between 9 and 15 couples comfortably with air conditioned rooms and i'd be more than happy to open the doors to MFEST family

Ya man Boracay +1

Hit up the BBQ places as well. If you go to Cebu, try Larsians in Fuente Osmena. Pork Intestines FTW!!!

Word of advice too bro, dress like a local. Don't want to be looking all American especially when you go on night trips. In malls and classy clubs, it's cool to dress up coz most other people on there will be as well. But walking the streets if you just want to go to some spots, don't look like you have money man and nobody will bother you, but if you see a cute girl, definitely look like you have a lot of money. :D

What do you want to do, and where are you going to stay? How many people you planning to roll with to these places, you going with family or friends.
Night life...
Beaches/resorts
Drinking places
Malls,
Also, if you want to go on a food trip. Great restos to eat and a must.
etc.
Depends on what area you are going to be. I will put together a guide line for you. ;)

Try San Mig Strong Ice. 3 bottles is equal to about drink 10-11 bottles. You can get a pretty good buzz with 3 San Mig Strong Ice. Try it and let us know what you think about it. Either way, beer is dirt cheap there. Try everything and come back with a full report. ha ha

I am still putting together a list of things to do for you. Busy, till the end of the week so I might get it to you by next week.

the good kine selections... something dust? lol

Oh, I remember... Stardust.... this place is straight the point. Get there a bit early.... 9:00pm to 9:30pm selection would be better than 11:00-12:00.
This place is in the QC area. Quezon City
There are much bigger places but, you will have to have a bit more bank roll in those place. Hollywood is another place where the selection is pretty good. I hear the Pac-Man hangs out there in the off season.
