oh! really Manila is a nice place to visit.One of my friends was studying with in Sydney university and he was from Philippines. May be 6 years back I have visited Manila and the place was quite interesting. I think the Rizal park will impress your daughter, it has roller skating rink and you can spend few hours there. The Enchanted kingdom which is one of the most popular amusement parks and features an eleven story roller coaster. Also the nearby sights are Intramuros fort, Splash Island and Manila beach and if you get time visit Boracay Island which is a nice place to spend with a family, have fun:)

Hello Sassy1,
You can go to Mall of Asia and Ocean Park. Do you like exotic foods??? You can find lots of Chinese food restaurant in Manila...

hi Andrew, how do we get from manila to Boracay island? are there frequent flights available? can you suggest a trip plan, so that we will try:)

Boracay Island is 345 kms away from Manila and it takes 2 1/2 to 3 hrs travel. Book your flight ticket from Manila to Kalibo and when you reach Kalibo, take a bus to Caticla. From Manila to Kalibo, the flying time takes 30mins and the bus trip to Caticla takes around 90mins. Then take a boat from Caticla to Boracay and it takes you within 1/2 an hour. hope this helps!
