A friend of mine would like to take me to Cebu, she likes it there but I think it is a sort of a big city. Thank you
Yeah, a little more rain during this time period. But, usually the rain doesn't last all day and the sun comes out.
Not sure if you are a guy or a girl.
Were you going to visit Manila at all? I usually stay in the Ermita section of Manila. Reasonable (for Manila) priced hotels can be found in this part of Manila. Ermita is the part of Manila off Roxas, where the US Embassy is located and the Robinson Mall. Short ride to the Mall of Asia on Roxas by meter taxi if you are into shopping. One bar I like in Manila is the G Point Pub and Bar.

Drinking and partying you might check out Angeles City too. Angeles City is around 3 hours by bus from Manila. Angeles is where the USAF had a base and now that airfield is used for international flights. Lots of bars and travel agencies, you can take a trip up to the Mt. Pinatubo the volcano that almost wiped everybody out. Good bar for food and drinks is the Margarita Station. (
