My wife and i went to subic for part of the honeymoon and went to ocean park and zoobic safari. Loved ocean park but will never go to zoobic again. I hope to spend time in Manila next visit. Is it easy to get around? Costs of trykes?

If just in manila try to ride the MRT and explore the places in every station.

MRT Fare: Taft Ave. to North EDSA via EDSA

The current MRT fare is P10.00 for the first three stations, P11.00 for four to five stations, P12.00 for six to eight stations, P14.00 for 9 to 11 stations and P15.00 for 12 stations or to the end of the line at North Edsa or Taft Avenue.

I am not sure if this is still the current MRT rate, might increase like 2-5 pesos.

or you would like to visit Rizal park if you want to explore manila. but just a tip never

let the photographer take pictures of you or else ull get robbed :bonk:

you can also go to China town where good food is around, usually I stay at Lotus garden(Mabini st. cor Padre Faura)

so jeepney's really accessible fare is not more than Php10.00 or better yet ask the front desk of the hotel for

transpo rate before leaving.
