What is the Philippines like...

YamaMotoYama · 2010-01-19 11:12:45

I'm heading over to a wedding in Manila later in the year... I'll have a week or so to do things/be a silly tourist. Is there much to do and moreover is it safe? Or should I just go to the wedding and go somewhere else in SE Asia?

I'm a male... and not one of those dodgy sorts that head to SE Asia!

Thanks for the UK Gov link... some good reading there.

I was there in 2007, most of the bar are girls (mini-skirt and all) operated, was a bit of fun,
Very good place if you looking for ***** and more :-)
