The University of the Philippines (UP) is home and alma mater to some of the country's best and brightest. It has been on the road to putting up new buildings and infrastructure in recent years due to newly found funding from the private sector. Shown in the picture is the UP Ampitheater, one of the more recent structures in the campus. The UP loop is a popular destination for joggers and bikers since half the road is dedicated to them. It is most popular especially on Sundays when the UP loop is totally closed off to motor vehicles.

Off the beaten path, great choices for shopping and dining with a more private cinema house. Best during weekdays!

I was truly impressed by its well manicured gardens and the serene atmosphere that it offers. The Poor Clares have always lived up to the ideals of simplicity and deep love of God. The prayerful ambience got me. I knelt and whispered my most fervent prayers.

LAMBANA is a 75 minute long dark whimsical immersive experience in Eastwood Mall that brings you into the mythical world of Filipino Folklore. In this intimate experience, step into your very own fairy tale adventure as talented performers lead you through a thrilling story and multi-sensory world set across a 4,500 sqft realm which includes sight, sound, scent, touch and taste (light food or drinks). You can be anyone you want to be in the world of Lambana - a hero, a villain or spectator. There is no right or wrong, just choices to make, paths to explore and an ending that is entirely up to you. But beware, nothing is as it seems in Lambana, and a cunning plot is just waiting to happen! Each show can accommodate up to 15 people (suitable for ages 12+) and can be done in either ENGLISH or FILIPINO depending on the group or upon advance request. You can book your ticket through walk-in at our Immersive Theater at Eastwood Mall, Online or through our ticketing partners.
As someone that is more than just a fan of immersive theatre, I was thrilled to get the chance to see Lambana. The production value is very high, the actors are committed and charismatic and, as a foreigner, I learned a lot about Filipino folklore too. The show allows to different paths, meaning a re-visit would provide a different experience and it was clear that the more you "give" as an audience member (in terms of immersing yourself and engaging with the characters) the more you would get in return. For those that have not experienced immersive theatre before, this is a good first and even as someone who has seen some of the world's most high-budget and spectacular theatre productions, you would still appreciate the attention to detail and depth of the experience you can experience in Lambana. I'll be back to take another path.

This large circular park is a good place to go for a morning walk or jog or simply for stroll. It also has a museum at the center dedicated to the city's founder, Manuel L. Quezon.
If you just want to chill, hangout, and enjoy nature with your family and friends, Quezon Memorial Circle is a good place to go to. A lot of activities to do such as zumba, ballroom, boxing, food trip, bazaar shopping, plant buying or just simply appreciating nature and being at peace.

I caught a GRAB prebooked modern car from near GMA railway station at a weekday peak cost of P374. As there were no traffic jams at 0900 hours on a Thursday, in 25 minutes I was at the park. Entrance was P50. The aged in her 20s Filipina spoke excellent English. The park has a typical 1000 visitors on a weekend day but only 200 or so on most non-holiday weekdays. Bring water and a hat as even at 1000 hours it was humid and very warm. A lot of the park is in shade, but not all. I did not experience any mosquitoes but insect repellent may be another wise item to carry. I inspected the butterfly house at an extra cost of P60. There were about 30 flying of three species. In summer, from March, a larger aviary is opened. The park covers 73 hectares and has benefited hugely from thousands of trees and understorey planted since 2001. The forest trails were unsigned but terrific, with dense canopies. I saw some colourful birds including a yellow-bellied flycatcher. One really felt a million miles away from Metro Manila. There are two swimming pool complexes. The one that was open has about an eight lane, 50 metre pool that was very clean and looked inviting. Entrance was P80. There are refreshment kiosks with food prices as low as P15. A 330ml can of Coke was P40. The flower terraces have views of La Mesa dam. A lot of schoolchildren were visiting on this weekday and were noisy, but did not seem to walk into the forest. This is a great attraction. An oasis away from the traffic and congestion of the Metro Manila area. It is not open on Christmas Day and possibly not on Good Friday, but apart from that opens 363 days a year 0800 - 1700. Arriving early gives the best chance to see birds, particularly if one has binoculars. Some of the trees are 30 metres tall, at least. I walked to the bridge (where there was a friendly guard who spoke good English) and eventually found a tricycle to the Jollibee (and other restaurants) complex on Pearl Drive. The fare was P30. I then caught a taxi to my other Quezon City destination.
