Hotels in Manila

-
Metro Manila has become one of the most popular travel destinations in Asia.  Tourists come here for various reasons.  Some would be here for a short stop before going to their real destination which is probably one of the small islands in the country, well, especially for the sun-worshippers.  Whatever is the reason for one's travel, finding a suitable accommodation is one of the things to consider.  Many factors should be considered also in finding a suitable accommodation.  One of the considerations is the budget you have allocated for the accommodation, be it budget or sky is the limit. And your choice of hotel should jive with your purpose of coming to Manila.  Personally, if it is a business trip then I would book at a hotel that serves breakfast or has included breakfast in the payment per room as it will save me time which I could use for preparing for the business meetings that I should be attending.  However, if my schedule is really liberal and I don't have any pressing meeting/conferences to attend, I would rather book at condominiums which rent out rooms for daily rates.  Condominium units can be rented for as low as $70 per night.  If you intend to stay longer then  you can even ask for discounted rates.  These condominium units are managed by property managers.  One of the advantages of renting a condo unit is you can do your own cooking if you prefer that because most of the condo units have complete kitchen and home facilities.  If you are meticulous about your food intake and don't want to eat at restos, then you can prepare your own food and buy your own provisions at the mall or grocery, especially if you really can take your sweet time around Manila.  You can also do your own laundry if you want to save laundry payment.   Now, if your schedule is really tight and you have no time to make your favorite salad/breakfast, or make your favorite drink then hotels with free breakfast and buffet meals will be the perfect answer for your busy lifestyle. Hotels in Manila range from economy hotels to suite hotels and of course the rate also is commensurate to their quality and standard.  So the next time you travel, plan your accommodation carefully and don't be too stingy that you will end up renting a room at a place that you will regret after.

We have heard of random attacks towards Asians inside the subway, in the streets of New York happen in the past two years or so.  Will we ever see the end of it?  What triggers these hate towards Asians?   Last Saturday, the Philippine Consulate General in New York issued an advisory.  Apparently, one Filipino tourist from Cebu was the latest victim of an assault stemming from hatred towards Asians.  This attack happened near the Philippine Center in Manhattan last Wednesday. rappler.com           The consulate posted in its Facebook page that the 18-year old victim who is from Cebu, suffered facial injuries because he was beaten up.  Authorities still can not confirm whether the attack was a random act of violence or an anti-Asian hate crime.         Records have shown that it was the 41st incident that involved a Filipino who was either a victim of a hate crime or an act

A Day in the Rising Food Mecca of Bulacan: San Miguel De Mayumo (Part 1)

-
Image
To call San Miguel de Mayumo the "Rising Food Mecca of Bulacan " would be a misnomer because San Miguel has been home to many food manufacturers, restaurants and local fastfoods for many, many years contrary to what I had thought about San Miguel before.  Upon seeing for myself the vast talent and  resources this seemingly quite little town has, my opinion changed to a 360-degrees.   San Miguel should be recognized for its culinary background and heritage.                     I learned that if you don't watch what you will eat here, especially the chicharon from Goyena's, you're going to be happily eating your last meal, just kidding!  But that putok-batok-can't-put-it-down goodness and crunchy-till-the-last bite has become a must-buy "pasalubong" from the Bulacan province.  Who can resist this crunchy delicacy that has been featured in a number of travel shows in the country?
