if its manilla phillipines it is really hugh with possibly 12 million people living there making it one of the 6 largest citys in the world
flights take about 5 hours from Singapore or now you can fly direct via doha from manchester/heathrow
try quater airlines for price aprox £500-600 although personally We use sinapore airlines with a nice stopover at sinapore you are looking between 16-19 hours flight time
when you get to mannilla Airport it is a total culture shock at the airport as you step outside when the heat and city smell really hits you
taxis are £3 to city which although 1 mile away can take you up to 2 hours depending on traffic also the taxi driver will take you the long way round and maybe charge you a tenner as you are a walthy foriegner !!!!
watch your lugggage and wallet for pick pockets too.
Get one of the best hotels in the city 5 star for as little as £25 per night for a room ,while cheap hotels are as little as £4 but not recomended
there is at least 7 massive shopping precents the size of the metro or trafford centre with prices 25% of uk prices as remember the average weekly wage is £ 10 per week
Amazing city and the women are smart too
