Very chaotic market within Mandaluyong city. It can be too crowded, loud and dirty but it's an interesting way to get a glimpse to a day in the life of an ordinary Filipino. From Boni Avenue, take a jeepney going to Gabby's Kalentong or just take taxi/uber. Not recommended for the faint hearted.

A volcano within a volcano. It's a 2-hour drive from Manila so better plan it ahead. I recommend staying at Discovery Country Suites if you plan to stay for the night. There are also other boutique hotels and lots of cafe/restaurants
