We drank a lot of San Miguel...

My wife is from Pampanga. Guagua, as well. EXCELLENT cook. I was 170 lbs when I met her. Just a shade north of 2 bills now.
Cool! My parents are from Pampanga too. But I grew up in Manila. I think it's in Kapampangan's genes to know how to cook.

where in the PI are you going though?



Night life is definitely in Manila..... Greenbelt, T.Morato Street is where the "stars" hang out

anyways... I got this from a travel site...

"The hubs of nightlife activities are Remedios Circle, Malate (heavily backpackers, Koreans and young locals); Maria Orosa St & Julio Nakpil St., Malate (the "X marks the spot" center of gay Manila); Ayala Center, Greenbelt and Fort Bonifacio in Makati (moneyed youth and ex-pats with world-class night clubs, bars and restaurants); Timog Ave, Tomas Morato Ave, Eastwood in Libis, all in Quezon City (mainly locals and Chinese). "

Beaches, there's Palawan, Boracay, Puerto Galera.
I heard Bohol os very nice if you like nature and stuff.

Shopping is in Manila, . . . . Mall of Asia, MegaMall, Powerplant Mall/RockWell center. There are tons of malls in Manila. But these are the ones I always go to.


And what cool stuff are you talking about?

i went to pinas last year for about a month and my fav vacay spot was boracay. the resort area is beautiful with clear blue water and white sandy beaches. see my pics above. if you wanna bring something cool back that is allowed in your check in baggage, i suggest buying a gang of balisong knives or butterfly knives. i brought back like 10 or more knives with no problems. the funny thing is that i had 3 brass knuckles that they didnt allow....kinda weird how they allowed knives, but not brass knuckles. if you wanna find some pretty good knock off brands like jordans or whatever, you can find them at green hills mall. hit me up if you have any other questions. have fun in the motherland bro.

Lived there for 3+ years and never hung out in Manila. Went to the Embassy once, but that was it.

Sometimes I think I'd like to pack it up here in the US and just split for PI. Live a simple life. But I'd have to sell the G and get a motorcycle because the "roads" there suck *****.

no prob.


Baguio is more of sight seeing and nature and cultural stuff. You can get some cool stuff there too. They sell all kinds of souvenirs there.

Never been to Nguluian??

Have fun and be safe!
