When in
Manila…
For
balikbayans
and tourists on a short visit to this vibrant city,
there are tons of options but so little time. We’ve rounded up
some interesting ideas for you
GET YOUR DENTAL WORK DONE
Okay, this sounds like the least touristy thing on this list, but here’s why you should
do it. The Philippines boasts world-class dentists and dental services but at more
affordable prices compared to their counterparts in Singapore, the US, Europe and Australasia.
Whether you’re in your 20s or 60s, Metro Dental offers a wide range of dental services that
will have you flashing a confident smile. Why not extend your stay to get some dental work
done? Metro Dental’s team is led by Dr Steve Mark Gan — the dentist to the stars — and
backed by well-trained board-certified specialists committed to high-quality service. The team
specializes in implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics and diagnostic centers. And
with perks like the hotel-like ambience, tasteful interiors and accommodating medical staff,
you’ll feel at ease knowing you’re in the best hands.

FROLIC IN
THE SNOW
What better way to bond with
friends and family than through a new
experience, such as playing with snow and
ice. Now there’s a place to live out those
winter wonderland fantasies in this tropical
city. Snow World Manila in Star City is a
park where the snow falls continuously
in an environment of amazing light and
sound. Here, you can get a rush while
sliding down an 111ft stretch on sleds. An
in-house photographer will be on hand to
capture your icy moments!
