I will go to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, alone in August this year. What's the security like in Manila? What's the hotel price near the airport? How to go downtown by bus? thank you

Some places in Manila have good public security, such as Makati, Universal City and tourist gathering areas. But other places are generally. It is suggested to take a taxi directly from the airport to the downtown area, within 300 pesos, and let him use the meter. Hotels in tourist gathering areas are relatively cheap, mainly five-star hotels in Makati, Shangri-La, Intercontinental and Wenhua. From 130 USD, it will be more expensive, but safe. Don't stay near the airport for too long. Manila is very small. You can get back to the airport from downtown quickly to avoid the rush hour. Mahlert and Ermita are the tourist gathering places in Manila. In addition, its duty-free shop is next to the airport, not in the airport, and it is valid within 4 days of entry. Please check the telephone number of the embassy in advance, just in case. If you come by Philippine Airlines, you can buy a local calling card on the plane and make international calls directly.
