In the Phillipine Islands I stayed in Manila and toured the area, got to see Sangley Point, the WWII memorials and the Island in general.
I teamed up with a couple of Marines there on R&R that were on the same flight as I, and we 'rented' a driver for the time there. We got to see a lot of the area and learned much of the History of the area.
Me and one of the locals that enjoyed company with during the trip, she was able to explain much about the area and customs
