For night life in manila, just go to malate and you moght enjoy the night, try the street foods and blog about it too.

Good luck man, and always try to bargain with any price, because your a foreigner its always going to be more that it should be. Be careful on your journey. I just got home for a month there. Best wishes man. Let me know if youneed some info specially in manila area

Thank you I'll remember to ask. I read many terrifying news but I think that media are exaggerting here in the West.

Is Uber the best option to commute around the town?

Yes uber is best but if u want to get out of the busy traffic life in manila. Just decide go go to the provinces. If your there always allow 2 hrs from traffic. People are nice there, its not scary, unlike the past administration. Duterte got your back as long as your not doing anything illegal. Try not to use drug hehe!

Yeah I've been warned by my friends already :)
