Time Off
Music is the main form of entertainment in Manila and some unusual groups can be seen, such as the Pangwat Kawayan bamboo orchestra and the Rondalla group. But there's much more than music. Manila is a paradise for those who like to shop and if you want a little peace and quiet away from town, then remember that the Philippines has the world's longest coastline and is rich in superb beaches.
