When you witness how local people participate this game, you can understand why there are so many voilence happening in this country. Because gambling is not a health hobby which may twist your personality.
However, it is highly not recommended for any single foreign traveller to watch this local game unless you can have some local people accompanying with you. More detailed information about this sports game will be shared in the travellogue of Manila.
If you really want to participate this game, money is the only gear you should bring. Or you can just sit there without doing anything, but watching. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingAddress: Libertad cockpit, Dolores StDirections: Pasay City

You only have to bring your shirt, shorts/jogging pants and socks, and the climbing shoes cna be rented there in the activity center. It is inlcuded in the fee already.

Intramuros has a small golf course which runs around the wall. This golf course is mainly played by tourists staying in the Roxas blvd hotels and want a quick round of golf. The course is a small course with short par4's and par 3's with 1 short par 5. The course i tricky as it is surrounded by out of bounds or water. For most Americans used to the cart style of golfing, this experience will be a throwback. This is a walking course with a caddy. It is an interesting experience if you are short of time or don't have the flexibility in the schedule to make pre arranged tee times at other golf courses in Manila.
I rented the clubs here and they were pretty average. The first day, i asked my caddy for some steel shafted clubs and he was able to muster a mixed bag of clubs. The next day, I was able to talk to the caddy master and get a set of older model Ping eye irons and a callaway 3 wood. Theme: Golfing

This is where I first tried swinging a golf club and I enjoyed it. In fact, not long after I bought my own set of clubs and continued my lessons for some time.
Especially on weekends and at night, South Point Driving Range is full. So it would be best to call before proceeding.
The friendly staff and the well-maintained facilities, plus the quite secluded location, draw the golfers and would-be golfers here. The pros are highly-qualified and very supportive. You'll know instantly that they are there mainly for the love of the game.
Your golf clubs, of course :) Theme: GolfingAddress: Parkway cor Spectrum Midway, AlabangPhone: + 63 2 850 5952Directions: Neighboring Festival Mall and The Palms Country Club

 Me skating by wreckloose
You can rent the skates there, but I suggest wearing socks (I usually wear 2 pairs), pants, and a light jacket or sweater (if you're from a tropical country and you get cold quickly). If its your first time, you might want to bring another pair of pants just in case you get wet from falling down.

 Our court by wreckloose
shorts, extra t-shirt because i guarantee the one you wear while playing will be soaking wet by the time you're done, and a basketball (if there isn't already one). Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: every "barangay" (neighborhood) has a court. just look for the (safest) one closest to you.

One of the best ways to spend your vacation in Manila is to join fun runs/marathons. Other than the health benefits & the chance of meeting people, this is also one of the best way to travel as in literally (by foot) and experience the beauty of Manila Bay on sunrise!
Fun Run/Race in Manila are usually held almost throughout the year except on the rainy days of Aug to Sep. Race starts on Sunday mornings at 530am till 10am. The 42-kilometer is the centerpiece on most of the events but it also features a 3-K kiddie run, a 5-K fun run, and a 10-K category, all of which were open to novice, amateur jogging enthusiasts and adventurous travellers.
MAJOR FUN RUNS IN MANILA:
A. Milo Manila Marathon -
The 1st, longest(since 1969) and the biggest marathon event in the Philippines. Elimination dates are conducted on 30 cities/provinces all over the Philipines and the FINALS is staged in Manila on Oct to Dec. This is event is where most national running athletes are discovered.
B. International Philippine Marathon for Pasig River
On the last Sunday of February, the country's National Capital Region holds its only internationally-sanctioned marathon. This Marathon is run in coordination with the Clean & Green Foundation of the Philippines. Its aim is to promote the rehabilitation of the Philippines' most historic and important waterway, the Pasig River.
C. ADIDAS KING OF THE ROAD
Winner of the event will compete for the Asian King Of the Road Challenge.
For you to run.
1. You need to register first in advance(I suggest a 1 month to 1week in advance).
Registration fees usually cost between 150 to 300 pesos. Upon advance registration a Race kit will be handed to you which includes the number tag, sweat "FINISHER" shirt and the certificate of finish(usually to be given after the race).
