BEING COLORFUL IS THE ESSENCE OF THE ORIENTS I was too excited when I reached the Ninoy Aquino international airport with my wife . As told you earlier, this tour was planned all by myself. No feedback from any friend, as none of them had ever been to Philippines. I got help from several blogs and of course my best friend TRIPADVISOR.COM  . I  had booked my hotel way in advance in Makati city, through hotels.com .
