Booked a trip (May 28 – June 5) and would appreciate tips/advice 🇵🇭

​

May 28 – June 1: staying in Quezon City (Tomas Morato / Kamuning area) for the all aBoard Expo board gaming event. That’s the main reason for the trip, but I’d still like good early morning and late evening activities each day — food spots, nightlife, cafés, relaxing places, hidden gems, etc.

June 1 – 4: going to Coron. Planning to do the usual island tours and explore a bit. I currently plan to book tours through the hotel to avoid scams, but if there’s a better way, I’m open to suggestions.

June 4 – 5: staying in Angeles City. Only thing planned so far is going to Clark Aqua Planet water park on the 4th. My flight on the 5th is late evening, so I can still explore Angeles or Manila during the day if there’s something worth doing.

I already know about Grab and will use it inside the cities. My international and domestic flights are already booked, but hotels are still flexible.

Would especially appreciate:

\- Best/safest way to travel Manila ↔ Angeles

\- Safety/scam-avoidance tips

\- Food/nightlife recommendations

\- Things worth doing vs overrated tourist traps

\- Hidden gems and relaxing spots

Thanks 🙏
