MANILA WITH PRINCESS DR BECKY LEOGARDO, DANIEL, GLORIA AND RAPHAEL WITH NANNY MARISSA AND LUXURIATING IN ASCOTT APARTMENT IN MAKATI THE HEART OF MANILA. KAYE CHIANG TREATED US TO LAVISH FEAST AT SOFITEL MANILA WHERE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA STAYED WHEN HE WAS IN PHILIPPINES! VERY DE POSH!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
ARRIVED IN MANILA ON 1 APRIL 2016 AND VERY WARY OF APRIL FOOL'S JOKES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AS I THINK PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER BOTHERED.

Staying in Ascott Makati serviced apartment, the best and most luxurious facility in Manila at RM 1,500 a night which is pretty pricey for a 3-room flat. But the location is fantastic as we are opposute Shangrila and nextdoor to Rustan's, Philippines' most expensive and prestigious department store and we are also near SM the biggest and most popular and affordable chain of department stores in Philippines. 

As for restaurants and fast food, we are swamped by them as Filipinos love eating and local favorites are Jollibee and Chow King which are national  instituitions. Jollibee is Philippines' answer to McDonalds and are often located near each other in high traffic areas. Wonder why no Malaysians have taken Jollibee's franchise as it is a surefire success.
