Things to do while you’re posted in Manila, Philippines

March 11, 2020

  • Joined a gym (Fitness First or Golds)
  • Ultimate frisbee
  • Tag football
  • Scuba Diving – it’s so cheap in the philippines
  • Surfing – in La Union. I didn’t want to try it but just tagged along with my friends, then I was the one who got obssessed!
  • learn how to spin/DJ – I am friends with some DJs who also teach
  • Poi or zips – this is so much fun! I really wanted to continue this!
  • Read books – Fully booked and power books are awesome. And so much cheaper than here! do you like to read?
  • Photography
  • Tennis
  • Graphic design course
  • Badminton
  • Travel & explore the island of the Philippines – you will not find better beaches (maybe better resorts) but the beaches are never as nice as IN the Philippines. And there are so many must-sees!
    • Boracay
    • Cebu – Shangri la Mactan is the BEST! Have a 2nd honeymoon!
    • Cagayan de Oro – zipline and white water rafting
    • Davao
    • Bohol
    • Siargao – surfing
    • For cold weather places
      • Baguio
      • Sagada
      • Bukidnon

Other things that I would like to do in the Philippines are:

  • Windsurfing in Anilao
  • Wakeboarding in Batangas
  • Parasailing in Boracay
  • Take up an interior design course in PSID – by the way, do not be scared of the drawing part. I am not good at drawing too. And I know someone who totally sucks at it but is still taking ID in Manila. No worries! Drawing is a small part and I think they will also help you develop the skill of drawing!
  • Baking classes
  • Cooking classes in Endurun or in Dusit
  • Wine-pairing class
  • Sewing classes
  • Design classes in Makati

Other things I can think of for you to do are:

  • Intramuros
  • Check out all the malls
  • Go to Tagaytay for a weekend getaway (stay in Sonia’s garden or Discover suites – OMG the best room in Tags is here!, eat in Antonios, go to Taal, and walk up to the crater)
  • Subic treetop adventure
  • Walking tour with Carlos Celdran http://celdrantours.blogspot.com/ – we tried the one in Ermita and we had a blast! I wanna do more of this because he is such a fun tour guide of Manila! its good to learn about the country you are in too! [UNFORTUNATELY, HE HAS PASSED AWAY]
  • Go-kart in The Fort
