Historical Hiccups

Manila is steeped in history, and a visit to Intramuros, the walled city, is a must. Walking through its cobblestone streets feels like stepping back in time. Just be careful not to trip over a stray cobblestone or get distracted by a ghost tour—yes, they exist, and yes, they’re delightfully spooky.

Food Frenzy

No trip to Manila is complete without indulging in its culinary delights. From Jollibee’s famous Chickenjoy to street food like balut (duck embryo), your taste buds are in for a rollercoaster ride. Pro tip: if you’re not feeling adventurous, start with halo-halo, a colorful dessert that looks like a unicorn exploded in a bowl.

Mall Madness

Manila takes shopping to a whole new level with its mega-malls. SM Mall of Asia is so big that it has an ice skating rink, a Ferris wheel, and more food options than you can shake a stick at. If you get lost, just follow the scent of freshly baked pandesal (Filipino bread rolls) and hope for the best.

Karaoke Kings and Queens

Filipinos love karaoke, and in Manila, you’ll find karaoke bars on nearly every corner. Whether you’re a shower singer or a wannabe pop star, you’ll fit right in. Just remember, it’s all about having fun—no one will judge you for butchering “My Heart Will Go On.” Well, maybe a little, but it’s all in good fun!

Sunset Spectacular

End your day with a sunset view from Manila Bay. The sight of the sun dipping below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, is truly magical. Plus, it’s the perfect backdrop for reflecting on your wacky and wonderful day in Manila.

Manila is a city that will surprise you, delight you, and sometimes confuse you, but it will always entertain you. From its historical sites to its vibrant street life, there’s never a dull moment in this bustling metropolis. So, pack your bags, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to explore the capital city of the Philippines!
