Manila...Advice on what to see/do?

[FlaMariner]

Port stop in Manila.......

 

I am hearing conflicting info....some say get out of town and head to the mountains for the scenery and others suggest a tour of old Manila.

 

What did you do and what would you recommend?

 

And any independent tour advice would be appreciated.

We enjoyed China Town.  Walked around and ate small portions at several restaurants.  We also did a tour at Intramuros. It was very interesting especially not knowing a lot of Filipino history.  My SIL who is Filipino said it was a school field trip for him many times but he learned new things on our tour.   We only spent one full day in Manila.
