What is the best place to visit in the Philippines?

Q. If someone can only visit one place in the Philippines because they can only stay there for a few days, which place or tourist spot would you recommend and why?

A. Check out San Agustin Church the oldest building still standing in the country as well. It has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site at Intramuros in Manila the capital of The Philippines ....

Across the Pasig River from Intramuros is the Binondo area, home of Chinatown. The district is filled with all things Chinese from Peking duck and Buddhist temples to gold watches, snake soup, and wonder herbs. The high chords of Chinese songs and the permeating smell of incense complete the uniquely Chinese ambiance. It is said that this quaint district was already a hub of Chinese commerce even before the Spaniards came in 1571.

In particular, Ongpin offers a lot of variety: restaurants, pet shops, bakeries, grocery stores, jewelers, traditional medicine shops, acupuncture clinics, kung-fu schools, and mahjong parlors. Ongpin leads to Plaza Santa Cruz, which is where Rizal Avenue curves to meet the MacArthur Bridge. Escolta, now a shadow of its former self, leads off from here. The plaza is dominated by Santa Cruz Church.

Shopping in Manila is a way of life. Almost everywhere you go are stores, shops, boutiques from the small corner store to the giant malls that you can find almost everywhere you go in Metro Manila.

South of Manila is Makati City, considered as the financial capital of the country. Along Ayala Avenue rise modern skyscrapers, which are home to multinational companies, foreign embassies and local banks. The trendiest leisure spots - hotels, restaurants, bars, music lounges, fashion boutiques and department stores - converge around the sleek Ayala Center. Across EDSA is the posh subdivision of Forbes Park, home of the country's rich and famous. One area that now competes with Makati in terms of its modern architectural landscape is the Ortigas Center between Mandaluyong City and Pasig City. Home to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), it is also the site of three of the country's richest shopping malls - SM Megamall, Robinson's Galleria, and Shangri-la EDSA Plaza.Also within Ortigas is the striking leisure enclave, Saint Francis Square, with its fine restaurants and fashionable music lounges.

The northern part of Metro Manila takes pride in maintaining two animal sanctuaries, Parks and Wildlife Nature Center and the Malabon Zoo.

Top 5 beaches which is near to Manila are Matabungkay Beach, Calatagan Beaches, Bauan Beaches, San Juan Beaches, Kabayan Beach in Batangas is just 2 to 3 hours from Manila.

While Boracay is widely known as one of the finest swimming destinations in the world, Boracay is blessed with unsullied fine talcum powder-sand beaches. Its tranquil crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming, sailing, fishing and sunbathing. Boracay also boasts of sapphire seas and spectacular sunsets. Countless hidden coves dot the island and tall coconut trees line up along the beaches. Boracay island lies at the northwest tip of Panay, in the west Visayas region, off the Sibuyan Sea.

Need to find hotel in Manila that is close to bus station.?
Q. We have friends from Baguio City traveling by bus to Manila to meet us. We need information of area that bus stations might be located and possible hotels that would be close to bus stations.

A. If they're coming from Baguio then they'll probably take Victory-Pasay. In that case stay in Heritage which is about a kilometer or two from there. There are actually lots of other hotels in that area, but I think Heritage is closest among the nice ones.
