* Get the sunscreen/insect repellant combo, I can't remember the brand but it might be "OFF" brand
* If you're in Quezon City, spend some time in Katipunan, across from Ateneo. The Starbucks there is really nice for peoplewatching. Avoid the Yellow Cab pizza, if it's still there. (Kingcrux knows this one)
* In case no one has mentioned phones... if you have AT&T here in the US, then you can use it in the Philippines if it hasthe proper bands and if it's unlocked. Then you can use it with a Philippines with a Smart or Globe Sim card. Sim cards are very very cheap.
* Get your condoms in the U.S. before you go. I don't recall seeing them in stores in Manila.
* Go to the restaurant in the Oakwood, I can't remember what floor it's on but the view is worth it. Bring your datesthere and they will be thoroughly impressed. The Oakwood hotel is close to Glorietta mall.
