Visit Intramuros in Manila
Puerta del Parian, one of the gates to Intramuros
Intramuros, the original Manila
In 1571 to the end of Spanish rule in 1898, Intramuros was Manila. It's also known as the Ciudad Murada (Walled City) because of its most famous feature: a nearly three-mile-long circuit of massive stone walls and fortifications that almost completely surrounds the entire district.
The 18-hole, par-66 Club Intramuros Golf Course
Intramuros Golf Course
Just outside the walls of Intramuros in a uniquely urban environment, on what used to be the moat surrounding the city, you can play golf at the 18-hole, par-66 Club Intramuros Golf Course. The club was established already in 1907. Caddies cost P300. Almost every hole includes either water hazards, out-of-bounds, or both. The golf course can be played in just over two hours.

The wall of Intramuros
History and mystery are built into the two and three-quarter miles (around 4,4 km) of walls that surround the old capital of the Philippines. The first wall, built in 1570 was made of logs. Today the construction bears evidences of many builders and widely differing plans of defence.
Getting around Intramuros
Once inside the Intramuros you will not get lost, coz you are surrounded by the walls. A nice, old-fashioned way to get around the area is by calesa. These horse-drawn carriages can usually be found waiting for passengers near Fort Santiago. Since Intramuros is a limited and relatively small area, walking from one attraction to another is also a popular way to get around. For me walking was the perfect alternative, then I could discover all the attractions in my own pace.

Pain and sacrifices
When wandering around in this area and reading about all those important historical events which took place here you get a feeling of humbleness. There have been so much pain and sacrifices inside and around these walls of Intramuros. For example, Jose Rizal the national freedom hero of the Philippines was imprisoned here. He was later executed in Bagumbayan (now known as Rizal Park) just outside the walls of Intramuros on December 30, 1896. Or in 1945, during the fierce Battle of Manila between American, Filipino and Japanese forces, where so many soldiers paid the ultimate price and Intramuros was almost completely destroyed.

Fort Santiago was first built by the Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi

Fort Santiago and the Rizal Shrine
Fort Santiago, the former military headquarters of the Spanish colonial government. Although the fort sustained very heavy damage during the 1945 Battle of Manila, several key portions of the compound were subsequently restored. It's now considered a major landmark and one of Manila's most popular tourist attractions, partly because José Rizal - the national hero of the Philippines - was imprisoned here prior to his execution on 30 Dec 1896. The Rizal Shrine, a small museum dedicated to his life and work, is housed in a restored section of one of the fort's former barracks.

In memory of those 600 hundreds who died in the dungeons the very last days of WWII
The Dungeons
During World War II, Fort Santiago was captured by the Japanese Imperial Army. They used the dungeons as prison cells for captured Filipino and American soldiers. Around 600 bodies were found inside these dungeons and they probably died of starvation and suffocation on the very last days of the Battle of Manila.
Restoration
At the end of World War II, virtually all of the structures in Intramuros were destroyed, with only the damaged Church of San Agustin still standing. Since 1979, the Intramuros Administration has been slowly restoring the walls, the sub-features of the fortification, and the city within. The remaining five original gates have been restored or rebuilt.
How to get to Intramuros
Nearest train station: LRT1-Central Terminal
Or my personal recommendation, get off at United Nations Avenue and then take a 10 minutes nice walk. You will pass the Rizal Park and among others the National Museum of Fine Arts, which both are well worth visits.

Visit the American Cemetery in Taguig City
The Tablets of Missing, with 36,286 names of soldiers missing in action
There are 3660 headstones here
The American cemetery is beautifully located
The cemetery is beautifully located with impressive views over the lowlands to Laguna de Bay and towards the distant mountains. The area is so quiet and you can wander around and contemplate over the soldiers who lost their lives in the World War II. When you see all the headstones and the names it really calls for reflection over the madness of war.
Overview
The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in the Philippines occupies 152 acres on a prominent plateau, visible at a distance from the east, south and west. It contains the largest number of graves of the US military dead of World War II, a total of 17,191, most of whom lost their lives in operations in New Guinea and the Philippines. Among them are 570 Philippine Nationals who were serving alongside with the US Forces.
The chapel
The chapel, a white masonry building enriched with sculpture and mosaic, stands near the center of the cemetery. In front of it on a wide terrace are two large hemicycles. Twenty-five mosaic maps recall the achievements of the American armed forces in the Pacific, China, India and Burma. On rectangular Trani limestone piers within the hemicycles, are inscribed the Tablets of the Missing containing 36,286 names.

The remains of about 61 percent have been returned to the US at the request of the next of kin
The American cemetery is organized and minimalistic
Compared to the Manila Chinese Cemetery which was like a maze of different styles and colors this cemetery is strictly organized and minimalistic with the headstones in perfect order. They are aligned in 11 plots forming a generally circular pattern, set among masses of a wide variety of tropical trees and shrubbery.
When you are overlooking 3660 headstones it really calls for reflection over the madness of war...
Behind me, it's one of these two massive hemicycles with the Tablets of Missing
Among these 36,286 names, there were two seamen with the name Henry Lord, same family name as me. And let's not forget the 3762 Philippine Nationals whose remains were never recovered are also inscribed on the Walls of the Missing.
The maintenance of the cemetery is meticulous
In the background you see a residential complex at McKinley Pkwy towards Makati

Visit the Manila Chinese Cemetery!
The Millionaire's Row
The south entrance
The Manila Chinese Cemetery, popularly known as “Millionaire's Row” and ”The Beverly Hills of the dead”. The Manila Chinese Cemetery was built in the late 19:th century and was designated as the resting place for the Chinese citizens who were denied burial in Catholic cemeteries during the Spanish colonial period. A plot in the Manila Chinese Cemetery can easily cost up to 50 million PHP for a 25 year lease, after which another leasing fee must be paid or the body will have to be moved to another place.
I was overwhelmed!
When it comes to cemeteries I had never seen something like this before! In Sweden, a cemetery is basically a designated area for the dead, where you put up a headstone with some flowers or other plants to honor the dead. But here! The Manila Chinese Cemetery is like a community of spectacular mansion-like tombs that are equipped with everything from kitchens to air-conditioning and bedrooms to running water! The reason is so relatives can be near to their deceased at all times. They would often visit the dead in their homes during weekends, and offer food and light incense sticks.
Yeah that's me with an umbrella
Many of these tombs are as large as a regular house - some even bigger!
I recommend to hire a guide when visiting the cemetery.
Who needs a guide?
Normally I used to deny the services of a guide. Who needs a guide when you have a smartphone and Google? But sometimes however, I have to admit that hiring a guide can be really useful. The Manila Chinese Cemetery is roughly 5.4 hectare. So it's a big area and it's like a maze in there so in order to find the highlights you might need some help. I was lucky to meet a guide who was nice and knowledgable and told me many good anecdotes about the cemetery. He charged me 600 PHP for one-hour walking tour. As an option you can also hire a bicycle (per hour P100) to get around the area.
You might think you are visiting a residential suburb but these are actually mausoleums with tombs inside. That's not all, they are fully functional homes fitted with modern conveniences.
Not all buried here can afford grand houses. The cemetery has a poorer section with regular-sized tombs and mausoleums.
Notice the bible on top of the tomb.
A tomb in the form of a turtle shell.
Here is everything made of stainless steel.
The creator of mami and siopa
Ma Mon Luk, the creator of mami and siopao!
Ma Mon Luk, was a Chinese immigrant best known in the Philippines for his eponymous restaurant and the creator of mami (a noodle soup) and siopao (a steamed bun based on the cha siu bao). Arriving penniless in Binondo, Manila, Ma decided to peddle his own version of chicken noodle soup. He would soon open his first restaurant with the name “Ma Mon Luk Mami King”. He would promote his restaurant by giving away free samples of siopao. After Ma’s death, his children would continue the restaurant expanding to as many as six branches during the 1980s. Today two restaurants remain and are operated under the family owned Ma Mon Luk International Corporation.
The kids tombs
According to my guide the kids were always buried separately from their parents
The vegetation slowly takes over here
The squatters climbed the fences...
Before the squatters climbed the fences to get in. Until the 1960:s, many families employed grave watchmen to stay at the mausoleums around the clock. But when the guards started bringing their families to live on the grounds, the practice was banned. Although the squatters no longer spend the nights at the cemetery, the caretakers and their families find it a nice place for a picnic, and even a nap. They stretch out on the cool marble floors or even on top of the crypts.
My guide is patiently waiting for me.
Someone did not renew the lease of the tombs...
Yeah the umbrella was to protect myself from the heat...
Ruby Tower Memorial
At the end of the street you see the Ruby Tower Memorial. This memorial is dedicated to Chinese-Filipinos who were among the 260 people who perished in the collapse of the six-storey Ruby Tower building in the Manila suburb of Binondo during the deadly "Casiguran" earthquake that hit the capital city on 2 August 1968. The memorial is located just in the rear of the famous Lee See Tong Martyr's Hall.
Weird anecdotes
According to my guide, if the children died before their parents, they were not going to be buried together with the parents but separately at another place in the cemetery. But there were some cases of married men who happened to have had a mistress who was buried together with him and his wife in the same mausoleum! My guide showed me an even weirder example, where a married man and his mistress were dead and consequently they had been buried together. But the husband's wife was still alive and the wife had already got her designated resting place set up beside her husband and his mistress when the time was ready for her!
There are also ultra modern mausoleums as this one built by the Lim Family.

My favorite Thai, Jatujak Restaurant in Mall of Asia
The name is inspired by the lively and intoxicating ambience of the Jatujak market in Bangkok. In a way that can be true, sometimes the Jatujak restaurant is crowded with guests, which of course it's a proof that they are doing a good job.
They have Khao Neeo, sticky rice
The food is delicious and spicy as it should be. They even have Khao Neeo, that is sticky rice (also known as sweet rice or glutinous rice) which is common in the northern and northeastern regions of Thailand. Of course every Thai restaurant with self esteem must have Khao Neeo, which surprisingly is not obvious everywhere!

Arya Persian Restaurant in Ermita
If you like to try something Persian go for the Arya Persian Restaurant in Ermita. There are two branches of Arya in Ermita, one inside the Robinson Place and one just outside the main entrance of Robinson Place. I tried the one located outside, because that place is bigger with a more quiet ambience than the one inside the mall.
The menu was like a bible
The menu was like a bible with many options and I finally decided for the Mourgh Tanoori. I was hungry so I added 30 PHP extra to get Biryani rice instead of just getting Pita bread to my food. Mourgh Tanoori is skewers of chicken breast marinated in Tanoori sauce. The Biryani rice is basically spiced Basmati rice with some raisins and peanuts. The portions was big and the food was delicious. My only minor remark would be, they grilled the tomato but why not grill the green chili fruit as well? More tasty that way I think.

A Korean in Mall of Asia
This branch of Kyochon is a newly opened in the Mall of Asia, ground floor, north wing. It's a Korean style restaurant with chicken as their thing. "Chicken like you've never had before" is their slogan. And yes I can agree, I got a chicken that I never had before.
I ordered the Galbi Chicken Steak with Kimchi Fried Rice. The food was fresh and the chicken was newly grilled. The portion was not huge but still enough even for me allthough I am a big eater.
No MSG and Eco-friendly
I like their promises with no MSG, to cook with canola oil and their Eco-friendly concept.
Conclusion
The food was fresh and delisious, friendly and serviceminded staff, everything looked nice and clean. No Wi Fi, but if you feel the urge to be online when eating you can always connect to Mall of Asias free Wi Fi.

Pancit Batil Patong, for the meat lovers
If you are in Tuguegarao city you must visit any of the many panciterias available here. The obvious choice would be Eva's Panciteria, one of the most famous in Tuguegarao. Pancit are noodles and this particular dish they serve here is called pancit batil patong.
Big portions with good taste
Just like most panciterias in the city, the kitchen and the cooking of the batil patong is open for the curious to observe upon. Pancit batil patong is pure goodness topped with sautéed ground carabao meat and pork liver adobo and poached egg. The dish comes with the accompanying carabao soup and a saucer of onions with calamansi and chili. Of course you will also have the ubiquitous Tuguegarao-made “Malabon” brand soy sauce. The saying is that batil patong is not batil patong, if not flavored with this unique soy sauce.
There were a lot of students eating here which is an indicator that the place is the real deal. And yes it was, the portions were big, reasonable priced and the taste was good.

The sleeping beauty
This is Mt Mayon. It's the most active volcano in the Philippines, erupting over 49 times in the past 400 years. Last time was 2014. But for the time being it's just a sleeping beauty. To see this beauty you must come to Legazpi City in south of Luzon. If you are lucky you might be able to hike the summit depending on the volcanic activity. I tried twice but due to the volcanic activity it was not possible to hike the mountain.
