It’s been ages since I visited Manila and I must admit I kinda miss the traffic, malls, food, and my relatives/friends.
The main reason why I booked a trip back was to attend Jak and Jolina’s wedding. It was a lovely celebration over at Fernbrook Gardens in the south. Congratulations and best wishes, Jak & Jolina!

The rest of my visit was spent shopping around, eating (especially food I truly miss), catching up with relatives and friends. Here are some photos.

As the Philippine national elections were happening shortly, lots of establishments were encouraging people to vote. Krispy Kreme was one of them. I was attracted to the "O" in "Vote" hehe
My sister also visited Manila during that time. She was reunited with her "taho" (soybean with syrup and sago pearls) after many years. Photo taken at Powerplant Mall in Makati.
Greenbelt 5 now fully open. Houses a lot of mid-price and premium brands.
The Jeepney, the most common form of public transportation in the Philippines. I have not ridden it for many years.
