The last time I went to the Philippines was when I was six years old so I only remember bits and pieces of our trip.  Manila is still a little dangerous but the places outside of Manila are absolutely amazing.  While I was in Manila, I tagged along with my mom's college friend and her family and went around Manila.  There are a lot of great tours that take you out and about around Manila.
