Nightlife?
Go to Resorts World and go to Republiq. Lots of foreigners there as well. Go on Friday or Saturday.
And as long as you use common sense, nothing bad is going to happen to you. the worst thing that's going to happen to you probably is that you'll get ripped off in the cab. A 100 PHP ride becoming 500 PHP or something like that.

Seriously though, I heard that liquor is not so bad. Though the best ones are the locally brewed type in Laguna, I believe? O_o Everything's worth a try? The best lambanog that I've tried was from Laguna, where the people who distill it would place fruit slices in the lamabanog overnight. The next day, you had apple lambanog or whatever flavor they decided upon. OP, you should also try beer below zero. It's beer, the normal brands like San Miguel and Red Horse but served as cold as possible without the beer turning solid or into slush. Big drinking places have it, so if you're drinking in Greenbelt you can ask if the place has it. Usually they'll advertise if they have it anyway. Wow, I never knew that there was a real SC2 scene with tournaments and everything in the Philippines! Good job organizers, teams, and clans!
The PH scene is more active than you think. Weekly tournies, LAN events, heck even fnatic.Sen came to manila not too long ago.
I guess we really need to post stuff here on TL. also, we are going to have Peru v Philippines nation war showmatch on Sunday PH time.

I was in Manila 3 years ago, and experienced one of those cab horror stories myself. Got into cab with parents, gave driver destination in writing, and sat back.
What should have been a 15 minute trip ended up being 40 minutes. The driver took us for a massive detour around and around. Unfortunately for him, we've been to the place before, so we started arguing with him about 20 minutes in. In the end, my dad laid down the tough guy hammer: he threw money at the driver, the amount we paid for last time then just walked out. The driver started screaming and yelling, but we just ignored him and walked into a nearby mall.
I'd present the driver with a map/route if I were you.

Today we went to chinatown, sm mall of Asia and robinsons and besides the radical temperature changes when leaving a building and one heavy trafficjam it was awesome. Really glad I asked TL and excited about tomorrow. Oh and I played sc2 only a few times, i played sc1 since the Razer1911 release

This morning I arrived back in Germany after a long but rather pleasant flight. I am still sorting pics and "arriving" home but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone, I enjoyed an awesome evening with you guys. I'm really sorry I could not stay for some more beers but timing was just bad since it was the last day. But I think I'll reserve some days in my upcomming SEA trip (Jan/Feb 2012) to go to Manila again and than the beer is on me!
I'll upload some more pics later!
