Phillipines, Manila, Makati Happenings

[prizzi_65]

I am currently holed up here at Pasig City for three week now. Too busy to make the trip to downtown. Being my first time in Philippines, I already been been tricked twice by cab drivers. Don't want to venture too far until I am more familiar with the place.

Rather than going down to Makati I am wondering anything fun around Pasig City? I don't see any 'improper' massage places nor drinking hole. I recently went to the Home Depot nearby where there are a few drinking spots. Nothing in sight. So so dead.

how did you get trick by Taxi driver ? Pasig ? not far from anywhere bro ..

PM me, if you need some advice.

I have sprinkled my advice all over the board anyway ..

Pasig is considered a proper higher class location in Metro Manila. You can try heading to Makati which is not too far away.

Pasig is centrally located. You can get to Quezon City quite easily. Lotsa places there. Makati is a little on the high side.

If you want to visit the Casa I can recommend you a taxi driver that can take you to some. Just view and no obligation.

Have fun, and be safe

A quick update on my recent Manila trip.

1.
Stayed at the Best Western FI Premier hotel located in The Fort (Bonifacio Global City).

This is supposed to be a new and upcoming place with lots of construction on.

2.
Nearby is the Bonifacio High Street (approx. 10 mins walk from the hotel) and Market Maerket shopping mall (approx. 15 - 20 mins walk from the hotel). You will be spoilt for choices on what to eat in Bonifacio High Street. Lots of restaurants and cafes. Great place to watch the time goes by.

3.
There are 2 clubs which I was there personally and felt that it deserves at least a visit if you are there.

They are 7th High and PRIVE.

I visited both of them on a Wednesday. At that time 7th high seems to be packed wtih caucasians whom are not really my type of crowd.

At PRIVE, you will see alot of pinoys who are rather well heeled. Some nice looking people there.

If you have time for only one place, go straight to the PRIVE (It is about 10 - 15 mins walk from the hotel).

4.
If you want to venture, then go to the Republiq at the Resorts World. Friday is packed with people. Great music and good looking people. Again, I was there myself on a Friday and would recommend a visit.

5.
I was also told the M Cafe on Thursdays is a great place to hang out with the office working crowd. This I cannot verify as I was not there.

That's all . . . Manila is a nice place to party if you know where to go ; )

Enjoy . . . Mike

Exactly. It's traffic jam everywhere in the metro. It's about moving out at the right time. When will you be in Manila? I am going there less often as I will be in LOS most of the year. But I must be there in April and July.

I like BGC. That's why I bought 2 condos there. Will be collecting the key to one of them this July.
